Hooray, we can now buy gold again...why did they have to re-allow them in... >_> 65.93.218.50 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the gist is that ANet can now permaban people / not have to refund their money after 7 days. Some laws in Taiwan essentially made it impossible for ANet to keep these people out. But in the good ol' U.S. of A., ANet can do what it needs to. JonTheMon 22:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * So they are saying « come to us so we can ban you » ? Funny... TulipVorlax 01:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I think someone at Anet was bored and decided to read their own EULA which states that the EULA will be interpreted according to US law regardless of the nationality of an offender--Cobalt | Talk  18:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Didn't Microsoft make that mistake in the EU? They can interpret their EULA any way they want, but they can't compromise the sovereignity of a foreign nation through it. Taiwan's laws are valid in Taiwan, American law is not. Utter Havoc 23:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also the fact of the physical location of the servers you play on to take into account. That's why Taiwanese users PLAY of servers located in North America. I doubt that they made this change without consulting someone with knowledge of how international laws work... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 00:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As explained by the dev team, they changed the Taiwanese players to NA servers so that they follow US laws instead of Taiwan laws. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 00:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My my, and I thought that was an April Fools Joke. Now they got me. --Birchwooda Treehug 01:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ^^Yeah, so did I :(--Cobalt | Talk  12:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * OMG I can see it now - "You give us Taiwan and we'll stop bothering you about Tibet." Headlines: Guild Wars solves national crisis! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't forget the Olympics opening ceremonies d-: -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 12:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, now I have two accounts on the NA server... Guess I'll transfer one of them to the EU one. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 12:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Why stop there? Do what Gares did and get more accounts to use only for mules! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I'm not interested in more mule accounts. I just want each of my accounts to be on different servers. (wonders when one'll open up in Africa). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 12:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

What's so good about African servers, Pan?<strong style="color: black;">reanor 17:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, their pan is one of the great weaknessess of african servers. Good ping though. (Yes, once again i am desperately bored.) --[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 12:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
