Guild Wars 2

So I know (as of yet) there’s no way to pre-purchase HoT without the base game (which is a real kick to the teeth in my opinion) but if I were to purchase the Base game+HoT , would I have to make a new account considering I bought the base game again? Would I have a choice of making a new account?
I phrased this really bad but I honestly don’t know any better way to say it sorry.

I believe you can link your pre-existing account with HoT. Can’t find where it was said, but that would seem logical to be the case.

If you purchase Heart of Thorns, you are given a single serial code with which you can either do the following:

1) Apply it to an existing account which it then upgrades to have access to Heart of Thorns (you don’t have to re-start anything) and you already have access to the core game.

2) Start a brand new account which will have access to both the core game and Heart of Thorns.

In short, you don’t have to make a new account unless you wish to start brand new from scratch – just apply the serial code to your account to upgrade.

You can buy just HoT by upgrading your account through the in-game store.

It is however the same price and product as what you would find on the website. Now that the core game is F2P, complaining about HoT including it for free is pointless.

Cool, thanks for the answer
