Home Worlds and how they work

In Guild Wars 2 your character is not absolutely bound to a server like other MMO’s. If you create a player on Fort Aspenwood but your friends play on Darkhaven, you can set your home world to Darkhaven. You can even change regions. For instance, if you play on a  US server and want to transfer to a EU server, you can do that also. This is essentially a “server transfer” but the player can do it themselves.

There are some limitations.

• The home world server moves ALL of your characters to the new server.
• You can only change your homeworld once every 30 days.
• The transfer does come at the cost of 1,800 gems. Gems are an in game currency which can also be bought with real money.

During the open beta weekend, players will start off with enough gems to change their home world once.
