Guild Wars 2 Servers run on Amazon AWS so the issues are probably somewhere between your location and the amazon AWS servers, its probably a combination of the long distance and bad routing to the destination. A VPN can help with that, but it can come with its own issues. Check the page below to see if playing on NA might not be better for you.
Community discussions offer a place where you can talk with other users who play the game, and suggest solutions to any problems. Game developers often monitor these discussions to look for issues. 3,312 threads
There is an option for steam login but after trying it keep ejecting me with "Steam accounts must log into the Guild Wars 2 game before accessing the account site" That's not how it works. IF you downloaded the Guild Wars 2 launcher through steam, your GW2 account must be created by steam.
As noted in the dialogue, your existing Guild Wars 2 credentials will be used to login to Guild Wars 1 after linking accounts. Once your accounts have been linked, you should no longer see an option to link your accounts. That blank space (where the option to link accounts used to be) is the only indication that your accounts have been linked.

This exact same issue is impacting me and two other GW2 players in my household. It started on Thursday as well. We have tried the following, without success: Reinstalled GW2 Restarted router Port forwarding on router Password change Contacted our ISP, they confirmed the problem is not on their end. This issue is specific to GW2.
The regular IP you usually play from shouldn't trigger the SMS authenticator. It's only if you're trying to access the game from an unknown IP that you'll face problems. Log in using your normal IP, change the settings in your account and you'll be good to go. CreepingDeath0 • 7 yr. ago.
We will continue to communicate on Twitter like we have previously, but we will make our news and announcements forum our first location for "breaking news" on issues that affect things like the live game service. The Guild Wars 2 forums are visible regardless of registration or login, and we will keep it that way.
