Honey! I'm stuck in Europe! - Guild Wars Forums

Nilator · Apr 23, 2006, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Yeah...
I am American, being from American districts at one point. But, not so much these days...
Arena.net and their odd number of Territory changes, and my lack of common sence every once in a while, got me stuck in European Districts in my quest for more favor and wealth.
Anyway to get, maybe, one more Territory change?
"Steal" it from a guild mate or friend? By steal I mean get permission from the person to give me one of their Territory changes?
Thank you all.

I don't think you can 'steal' a territory change. Of course, I could be wrong.

imaginary friend · Apr 23, 2006, 03:39 AM // 03:39

well at least you get favor most of the time. if you want to meet up with your friends in american districts..... go to international

Laibeus Lord · Apr 23, 2006, 03:40 AM // 03:40

well, 6 is a bad number to some countries ;P so only 5.. hehe j/k

try to contact Guild Wars Support, who knows they will grant you 1 last exeption

other people did the same then we haven't heard about them after that (i mean heard about them asking for territorial change), so give it a try.

^_^

Opeth11 · Apr 23, 2006, 03:40 AM // 03:40

Or we can all move to the European districts just to make Nilator feel at home.

Nilator · Apr 23, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

I think Opeth11 has the best idea.

Opeth11 · Apr 23, 2006, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Of course. Love me now.

Poison Ivy · Apr 23, 2006, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Drive over the Anet headquarters and ask them to re-new your territory change or you will be forced to strip.

90es · Apr 23, 2006, 03:54 AM // 03:54

I don't think they would give you an "exception". This is because that problem was supposed to be taken care of already. You wonder why they give you 5 territory changes and not 1? Anyways, ANet gave you 5 chances to make up ur F'in mind. So I think you're stuck in Europe forever.

Nilator · Apr 23, 2006, 04:00 AM // 04:00

Well the thing is, I'm sorry to say it but, I don't mind being in Europe. If I could get over the fact that most are nubs, being a monk I can clearly say that. It took my FoW group 15 mins to figure out that I had not paid. And as one of the Europeans in LA english 1 said, "It isn't bad having favor 20 hours of the day." Yeah, I don't mind it, but I find Americans to be better players, PvE wise.

widowdaballa · Apr 23, 2006, 04:05 AM // 04:05

But then again.....Maybe she will get 5 more territory changes when Chapter 2 comes out? Just a possibility. A-net wants to charge me $50-65 per chapter for 2 more slots, they hopefully give 5 territory changes each chapter as well.

Make up my mind? Why would I want to be permanently in Europe Districts if I live in America? I'm not forced to live in America all my live, I could move to China if I wanted to. So why should I be forced to stay in one country's district forever? Please leave your pessimistic degrading posts in those "other" community forums.

Opeth11 · Apr 23, 2006, 04:08 AM // 04:08

I suppose that they don't want you to switch over and over so that you can have access to Favor everytime.

I feel smarter today.

fiery · Apr 23, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

You had your chances to move around, your fault alone your stuck for your greed.

ikickedbutt · Apr 23, 2006, 06:47 AM // 06:47

i quit GW and gave my account to a friend and recently started up again (same account).
he switched servers several times 'cause it had a 55 monk on it :P
he ran out of transfers while on europe >_<
it pisses me off... i have to go to ID's to get anything done and it is hard to get a halls group.
and the worst part is, even though i have favor 70% of the time i'm logged on, i cant get a damn SS necro to run UW in the first place!
so yeah, pretty much the same boat i guess. i sincerley hope merging factions renews my transfers. if not, heads will roll >:)

Burton2000 · Apr 23, 2006, 07:38 AM // 07:38

my friend had the exact same problem except he was stuck in america.All he did was contact anet and they transfered him back to europe.

Aarroe of Gilgamesh · Apr 23, 2006, 08:54 AM // 08:54

i was stuck in america because of the odd number of territory changes a month ago. the thing is theyve realized the error of having it be an odd number like 5 and have since changed it to four. if you are the odd man out talk to support and they will permanently move you.

Jedimagician · Apr 23, 2006, 08:55 AM // 08:55

yea my friend plays on an american server and he did too many transfers and got stuck on europe, he told me he sent an email to gw support thing and they let him back in american servers but since he jokes alot i dunno if this is just another one of him jokes

Image taken just moments ago on the main account.

Personally, I'd like to see ArenaNet do away with this silly limitation and allow unlimited changes (but only once every month or so to prevent taking advantage of stuff).

I don't know the situation in America, but in Europe I use henches whenever I can. The people in towns are literally that bad.

Opeth11 · Apr 23, 2006, 09:45 AM // 09:45

In America, the BAD players lurk among the following locations: Thirsty River, Thunderhead Keep, Ring of Fire, Abbadon's Mouth, and Hell's Precipice. People in those areas tend to have bad attitudes, and are extremely frustrating to work with.

My guildmate and I (Monk and Ranger) took 4/6 henchmen with us on all of the missions starting from the desert and only had 2 failed attemps. Abbadon's and Hell's. I blame Hell's on Mhenlo.

As many players would agree, Henchmen > Pick-up groups.

You'd think Europe's players would be much better, seeing that they are destroying the Halls recently o.o

Back on topic. I think you're stuck in Europe for a while, Nilator, unless merged accounts counts for 5 more transfers. Hope it all works out well for you.
