Guild Wars 2

Is there a way to look up the names of characters? ‘cause I have an old Guild Wars 2 account that I want to give to my brother so that he can play with me, but I can’t remember the password, and I don’t remember the names of any of the characters. I sent in a support ticket, but Lord knows how long that’ll take.

So you’re asking to know your GW1 character names? (Just asking- your question was a tad confusing to my groggy-early-morning brain)

But yeah, you can’t to find GW1 names to my knowledge. It was essentially a security question upon log-in and I don’t think A-net would release information like that in a way that could be looked up and connected to e-mail/other data.

I’d recommend seeing if you can find old screenshots, or ask old friends/guildies if they have any sceenshots or if they can remember one of your character’s names. Perhaps you can track it down if you were a member of the community outside the game (e.g. if you were part of a guild forum etc).

Fingers crossed that support will get back to you soon. As long as they can definitively prove that your GW1 account is yours, you should be ok.

No, not GW1, GW2. xD

Why do you need to know a character name for GW2 though?

The CS Team may not be able to assist you as giving away an account is against the EULA.

Again, only screenshots or your former community/guild members might be able to help, but if the account is given away, it may void all future official help.

Good luck.
