Attention Aussies! RE: Google Chrome currency error

[Cherrysoul]

So i was using Google Chrome as my Browser and for some odd reason i have since discovered that if i go to https://buy.guildwars2.com/ using Google it shows the currency as Pounds, and down the bottom the fine print says, NCSoft Europe etc etc. O.o

So i tried Internet Explorer and it shows correct currency as USD!

So rather than pay a fortune from Pounds - AUD on April 10th - Make sure your browser is in USD.

Now i don't know if this is an Anet/Google Bug or a sole Google bug for some weird reason it thinks some Australian's (not sure if everyone as only a few others have mentioned it on GW2 Facebook) is in Europe.

EDIT : Sorry Firefox also is showing pounds.. only IE Shows USD

ETAA : Anyone know if other browsers have an issue like Opera or Safari? Feel free to add if they are.

I get GBP in firefox.

Hmm...

Even more interesting is that it won't change from GBP even when I hard refresh using a US proxy in private browsing mode.

Yeah my bad, got confused with all my browsers open LOL. (Have fixed original post)

I have no idea why both Google and Firefox think Australia is Europe for GW2, Other shopping sites are fine .. WEIRD


ETA: WTH Mif , now that is weird..

[Mif]

Yep, USD in Internet Explorer.
And it stays in USD with a UK proxy.

Very strange.

Using google chrome and price is in USD for me. East coast queensland.

Wait what, so GC and FF both think we are in Europe and wont change with a U.S Proxy, yet IE Says yes default USD, even with a U.K Proxy... /confuzzled Brain explosion

ETA: Sandraudiga, perhaps Melbourne has moved to Europe then? /scratches head

[Sandraudiga]

It might have, but look on the bright side: Didn't have to pay for a flight. Checked my GFs com, and its showing USD with chrome as well.

GC is showing pounds for me but FF and IE are showing USD, so two different results from Melbourne lol weird

edit: opera and safari both show USD
