Guild Wars 2

If I currently have a copy of the core game and I buy the expansion (which comes with the core game), can I activate the expansion on my current account and still use the new copy of the core game without the expansion?

“A game serial code for account creation or upgrade for the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion and the award-winning Guild Wars 2 core game.”

It is an upgrade if you already have an account. So no, you dont get a new account in this case.

I’m interested in finding out, but from what I’ve heard, it’s either a whole new account with HoT or just the HoT upgrade to an existing account. no way of separating the two.

I’d like to know the answer to this question too.

And here I thought I would have my 6th alt accounts that i can park at jumping puzzle to get my daily jp chest rewards and daily login rewards.

Nobody knows for certain yet. The devs are staying completely silent. HOWEVER…

Notice the wording for purchasing the game on the website. Buying this particular version comes with the base game and access to the betas. I have a strong suspicion that there will be a less expensive version that excludes this beta access and didn’t come with the base game.

I’m hoping, but I am almost wary to hope too much. If the $50 even came with a character slot or 800 gems I would have bought this in a heartbeat. I…I hope they know what they are doing and can clarify this soon…
