Guild Wars 2

That’s a tad extreme. No option for a refund of the game?

Yea, I would first attempt to get BNS to refund the game and cite the launcher issues. That way you don’t risk any future decision to buy BNS again if you see they solve the launcher issue in a few months.

There is a time limit for charge backs I believe for most credit cards and that I believe is 30 days (that’s why most TV products offer 60 or 90 day try it risk free policies, then if they feel you’ve gotten successful usage, you can’t do a charge back on the item).

First I would contact their support to see if you can get a refund before you go the the extreme of a charge back, that is the very last thing you should ever do.

ArenaNet is fairly independent for a NCSOFT subsidiary, evident by the fact that GW2 isn’t under NCSOFT’s global account or GW2’s forums look nothing like the other NCSOFT game forums or the game doesn’t use NCoins as the proxy currency.

What does this have to do with GW2 again? They don’t use the same accounts or launcher (thank the gods, the NC launcher is crap).

OP wants to make that doing a charge back on BNS won’t hurt their GW2 account status.

@OP: create a ticket and ask that question to support. They might have an answer. More likely, they’ll say, “it depends on …things we won’t know until you try it.” Still, it’s free to ask.

I’m pretty sure GW2 accounts are entirely unlinked from NCSoft accounts at this point. I remember an email a while back telling me that all NCSoft Accounts were being phased out or something and moving to a new system. There was something about transferring my Aion account to some other system that I forgot to do since I don’t really care about Aion.

It’s more of a question of who handles the payments for BNS. Is it Digital River or someone else? If it’s someone else, there’s likely to be no issue. If it is Digital River, you’ll want to contact support to make sure it won’t ban your accounts AND it won’t black list your credit card assuming you’d want to purchase gems or buy digital copies of future expansions from ANet’s website without having to get a secondary credit card.

We’re going to go ahead and lock this thread as it is off-topic.
