Guild Wars 2

Will it be possible to buy the game for a friend online for Christmas? Like, will there be a gift option or should I just give them the code to activate it once I buy it? Thanks!

You can totally give the game as a gift by sending the unused code to a friend. I bought it for my sister at launch this way.

ArenaNet considers the person who activates the code and makes an account to be the owner. Just go ahead and email your friend the code and you should have no trouble.

All you need to have is their e-mail address. If you get the game from their website the purchase process asks for an e-mail address to be used for the account. If you have their address just have it sent there and they’ll get it.

When I bought it for my brother, I took the digital deluxe code they emailed me, pasted into photoshop with directions on how to download, plus fancy graphics and such, printed it out, folded it into an envelope, put it in a cardboard box of packing peanuts, empty envelopes and toilet paper, gift-wrapped it. it took him all of like 30 seconds to find the real one.

Haha I wish I’d thought of that! That would have driven my sister nuts.
