Guild Wars 2's world/server transfer system explained
Both paid-for and free via a "guesting" system.
Guild Wars 2 let's you swap worlds/servers that you play on - once a week, if you wish, but for a fee.
All characters linked to your account will migrate to your new home, and all subsequently created characters will live there (unless you swap again) as well.

Thankfully, it sounds like Europeans can inhabit US servers and vice versa. Changing a region means being "logged out for a short period of time while your account is moved", developer ArenaNet explained.
The fee for swapping worlds/servers is 1800 gems - the micro-transaction currency.
Guild Wars 2 will also let you "guest" on other worlds/servers free of charge, although doing so has some restrictions. You can't take part in world versus world battles, for instance.
That's because world versus world battles pit entire worlds/servers against each other in huge, hundreds-strong battles. And you fight in world versus world battles for the prestige of your world/server - not some "guesting" holiday home.
World/server transfers are up and running for this weekend's Guild Wars 2 beta test. You're given 2000 gems free of charge - enough for one transfer should you need it. The world/server guesting feature, however, won't be available in this weekend's beta.
The meaty list of servers available during this weekend's Guild Wars 2 beta are below.
