Changing server, how many times??? - Guild Wars Forums

When I started Prophecies I found the option to change server very nice.
But caution was needed because you could only change five times.
That means change-back-change-back-change thus you will be stuck on another server without the means to play with your mates unless in international districts.

Now for my question:
I've bought Factions and Nightfall and added them to my account, will I be able to change servers again?, and how many times?

Thnx for your time,

Odinius

This is account based, not chapter based, so five is the limit no matter what you do. However if you find yourself stuck, send in a support ticket to ANet and they should give you a 'one-time' move back to the server you want to stay on.

And the amount of times you can change has been reduced to four to prevent you being stuck in the wrong territory. I don't know if they just applied it to new accounts or all of them though.
I'd say all.

Remember though that changing servers isn't the same thing as changing districts. It's not like you really need to change servers that much.

If I remember the "olden days" correctly: Changing servers was a way of making a metric-butt-load of gold at one time...before the economies were linked. You could buy low and sell high to another country. Now that there is little means of profiting from it, I wonder why it's even an issue? I don't see a lot of activity in the international districts...that's why I go there when my eyes start bleeding from the spam spam spam spam spam spam.....

TwinRaven, all traders have been linked acrosss the continents, so there's so difference in price.
