Switching regions. How? How many times? - Guild Wars Forums

I'm on the American Server, and I want to know how I can switch to Europe. Can I switch to Japan? Korea?

How many times? I heared there's only a limited amount of times I can switch.
Why is that so? How does it bother anyone if I keep switching back and forth aside from me flooding America with European ectos?

Guild Wiki - If you play in either the North America or Europe territory, when the game is first installed it will ask you to configure this, and you can also change to the other from the game's startup screen after login (click Edit Account then choose Change Territory then click Next). You can only change your territory four times.

For other territories, you need to register on the respective territory's NC website to obtain your account. There is no way to change your territory.

Visiting the international district does not count as a change of territory, which means it is not restricted to four times.

There you have it...

The reason they don't give you unlimited moves is simply because it would completely negate the purpose of the favour system...

Not quite. Many players, including myself, started out with 5 switches. However, Factions and Nightfall users only get 4 switches allowing you to end up on the server you started on.

Or stated by support
"We currently have been allowing five (5) changes of territory over the life of the player's account. The limitation on the number of changes was put in place to prevent tournament abuse, and to assure that players are able to receive support from the appropriate region of the world. Because a few players ended up in the opposite game world territory that they ultimately desired, based on the fact that an odd number of changes were allowed, we are going to change to a total of four (4) territory changes. This will assure that players can return to their original "home" territory.

As a courtesy for our customers who find themselves without the ability to return to their home territory, we will reset your territory assignment one additional time for you. This is a one-time change, and future requests to change territories cannot be accepted nor acted upon."

There you have it.
