Can I check my connection to servers before buying the game?

Hi, I have been thinking of buying GW for a while now, but the probelm is I live in the Middle East and I don't know if the game will run smoothly here.

I have had a lot of lag in WoW that I had to quit. So before I buy this game is there a way I can check if my connection is good enough to the servers? And if I have a little delay will it hinder my gameplay especially in PvP.

Thank you, and I am really looking forward to joining you guys

They have servers spread out in different parts of the world, so I don't see it being too much of a problem. Probably the best thing to do would be to ask them though.

You could try using a European account. I have friends living in Turkey (well not exactly "real" Middle East, but close enough) and they can play without major lag issues.

I hope that helped somewhat o_O.

Thanks, I will probably try the European servers, they are the closest to our time zone (GMT+3) I guess..
