Yes, that is exactly what it means. This system is there to prevent people from constantly changing servers in order to stay in the territory that currently has The Favour of the Gods.

some people are given 1 extra change however if they contact anet rather friendly :P
(my guild leader asked wether he could be returned to europe while he had no uses left and they putted him back in eu servers)

Well I dunno what they think but maybe they should put a time on that. Like changable so many times in 1 year.

What if like myself you travel a lot? Then they are saying you are stuck in a district that may potentially have no one on when you wish to play

so you get to abuse it x times a year?

hint international districts.

hint as they said if you havent picked a home after moving 4 times we will find a home for you.

also getting a new chapter does NOT reset the number.

In my opinion, current territory switch policy is way too strict. No one can abuse it if you have 0 changes left and gain 1 switch after a month or two. If you consume it, you will get one again after a month or two. I think it has something to do with scattering people to America and Europe servers. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense.

no

it has to do with the people following favor of gods and...........

before the trader reset which made prices uniform people would buy low in EU server and switch back to US server to make a fortune selling high.

abuse of switching for personal gain.

this issue was settled long ago and they are not going to reopen this can of worms

Zakarr · Jul 13, 2006, 02:44 PM // 14:44

Well, you can't follow favor of gods that much if you can make a switch once per month?

Different trader prices are fixed. That problem doesn't exist anymore.

Is this server change limit only in places where Underworld/Fissure of Woe is accessible? I I dont know if its those 2, I never really bother with them. I ask because if its everywhere, when did it change? I once went through 13 US districts looking for a buyer for an item I had(about 3-4 months ago).

districts are not servers.

US server
EU server
Asian server(s)

all of those have their own set of districts

you have 4 chances to switch from one to the other but not the Asian set

I think you should have +2 changes each week, maxed at 2, and you have to wait 8 hours between changes, so if you buy low, and try to sell high, its going to be low where you are.

Anyways I got a question, if you change territory, do you get kicked from your guild? Like in American Guild, change to Japan, are you still in your american guild?
