Guild Wars 2

we have 2 computers in my house and sometimes the kids are on mine doing homework so I play on theirs. is that going to present a problem logging in with 2 different ip’s?

No, as long as your account is not logged in by 2 different computers at the same time

Depending on how your network is setup, both computers are probably on the same public IP address. It doesn’t matter what your local, private IP address is.

If you have dedicated connections for each computer, both will have its own unique public IP address. In this case, you will simply need to authorize and remember both IP addresses, when logging in for the first time. Since the change however (they went from remembering full IPs to subnets), both your IPs would probably be on the same subnet, so from ArenaNet’s point of view, both IPs are the same.

The only time 2 different IPs really matter is when you are connecting from a different country. In this case, your account can get flagged because it looks like you could have been hacked.

As above, you should be fine as long as you’re not trying to log into both at the same time!

Nope. Just install the client on the second computer. You just can’t logon to gw2 on both computers simultaneously unless you buy a second gw2 account.

You will be fine, I play from different IP’s all the time. Some times I am at home, other times at a friends house, various work sites and have played from the hospital and from on the road.

An e-mail usually gets sent to me asking if this is me and if I want to authorize it.

As others have said, there is no problem with this.
