I'm considering buying Guild Wars 2 from Video Ezy.com.au as part of their sale today. I'm concerned about regions, though, it being a MMO and all. From what I've found so far, it seems that after you first activate the game, you can select which region you want to play on, which shouldn't be much of a problem. However, EU versions of the game are locked to the EU and cannot be activated or played outside the EU, whereas US versions of the game are essentially "everything except EU", and can be activated and played in Australia.
So, I'm wondering - has anyone bought Guild Wars 2 from Video Ezy? Did it activate? I know most of their games are imports, so I can't tell where Guild Wars 2 is from. I assume they must be US, as the game's quite high in their sales charts, and if it didn't work, they'd be getting complaints, only I want to be sure before I make the purchase.
Thanks!
I didn't buy from Video Ezy but I 'imported' a US key and it works here in Australia. I got to chose from US or EU servers. I'm not sure if you get to re-chose later.
In any case, Video Ezy won't sell you something that doesn't work. If there is a difference between US/EU keys when used in Australia, GW2 will most definitely only ship the appropriate one. You can return it if it doesn't as it simply doesn't work.
