[edit] Home world

When a player logs on to Guild Wars 2 for the first time, they will be asked to select a home world. This determines which world the player will represent in World versus World PvP, and the bonuses the player receives from power of the Mists.

Changing to another home world will cost 1,800 and can only be done once every seven days.^[1] In addition, after changing to a new home world, players will lose their power of the Mists bonuses until the beginning of the next World versus World match.^[2]

[edit] Guesting

Players will be able to visit other worlds as guests as long as they have friends on those worlds. This feature is free, but guest players will not be able to enter World versus World PvP^[1] and the power of the Mists bonuses from their home world will continue to apply to their characters.^[2]
