Guild Wars 2

I want to refer a friend but I’m not sure if they have to download the full game or do they just download the event specific maps. I don’t want friends to download 12GB just for 2 days.

Yes please I’d like to know as well, I’m about to refer my brother but he doesn’t want to download the entire game.

where can they download the client? since 3 of my friends want to try out the game

ok one last question and sorry to bother, but u said they will be able to play at anytime they want?, so if they want to play befoe the shore event start, or after it ends will they be able to do so? sorry for the confusion >_<

If I remember correctly they get to start playing in the game on Nov 15th at 9am pacific time. Which is 1 day before the event takes place.

Hi . I just wanted to let you know that there is an error when trying to download the client from newly created account.

Eladrial is correct. Your friends will be able to start playing on November 15 (this Thursday) at 0900 Pacific time (that’s 1800 CET for those of you in Europe) and will be able to play until the event ends on Sunday evening (I believe this spills into the 19th for Europe). If they wish to continue playing after this time, they can buy a full copy of Guild Wars 2 and continue the progress they made during the weekend by applying the new game key to the existing account.

So if a friend of mine that invited plays now (she’s already made an account and downloaded the client). Does not upgrade this weekend and instead upgrades shortly after Christmas due to current lack of funds. Would she be able to apply her new game key to her existing account and keep any characters and progress she makes this weekend?

What about server space? What is the point in inviting friends when I can’t even get my friends who currently play to come to my server because it is always FULL?

ANet has said in at least one other post, that invited friends will be able to play on your server.

I asked this question in another thread but got no response, so I’ll ask it here since this seems to be the thread for Refer a Friend questions.

Is the serial code tied to the email it’s originally sent to?

Why isn’t this just clearly explained on the main page? ANet has truly bizarre communication problems.

No idea, I hope my question a bit up is answered. I really don’t want to post yet another thread on this topic when the forum is already flooded with topics related to this or patch related stuff.

I sent my buddy an invite…but he mistyped is email. so he went to register and we used that serial number anyways….when he logged into the launcher it said something about the code has expired you need to contact who you got the game from. So should I send him a new code ANET? or is it just because the trial is activated?
