Try an online computing store in the states that will ship to where you are.

I guarantee u sites will ship to where ever you are as long as u pay P&P

the other method and prob quickest is to get a friend/family to sign on to your account in the states and then add it on through NC soft

or 3rdly get someone back home to buy game and email u the CD key.

When my brother bought Nightfall for his account, he just purchased the activation code from an online store, and they emailed it to him within minutes. The client is a free download, so if you don't mind not having the pretty box, you could always try something like that. (I have no idea if this allowed or not.. so if it's not.. uh.. sssh >.> )

In fact, just googling "game cdkey" gave me a few links to stores that sell them.. so that's an option.

Frys.com uses DHL shipping for International and DHL ships to China (Shanghai). Best I can find. But I would contact them via email prior to purchase to double check. China has numerous restrictions on imports.

You might find that you can only play on Chinese server. I don't remember what the status of Chinese access to other servers is as of today. A local retail store might know.

The CD that comes in the box is outdated. There is no way to avoid experiencing either a long preliminary download or frequent (change area) downloads, except to have a copy of the .dat file from a player's computer.

I would suggest that you contact PlayNC support and find out if you can even play GW in China. China blocks so much internet access that the servers may no be accessible. Or you could try to get a buddy key from someone to try it out.

So nobody has their .dat file on the internet that some guy with terrible internet could download?
Wouldn't you still need to D/L the .dat file if somebody posted it?

Guild Wars: Eye of the North has the most current .dat file on disk. You can also run the -image command line after you install.

No idea on the status of service for GW in China.
