How do I install GW2 to be able to run two game clients? I have two GW2 accounts, I want to run both on my PC which will be easy as I have two monitors. I’m looking to RP/Socialize on one account while I’m out gathering or WvW/PvP’ing on the other one. Whenever I try to start the client twice or try to run the setup again it errors out.

I’d like to know the answer to this too. It looks like you can legitimately multibox below:

I know in guild wars 1 i did this and I would assume it would work in a similar fashion. First, download the client into another folder in program files, call it say Gu1ld W4rs 2, and rename the exe Gu1ld W4rs 2 once it’s installed. You may have to play around with the other files, but this is how I multiboxed in gw1

What’s giving you that impression? Maybe we have different definitions of multiboxing, but what you want to focus on here is stipulation #4 :

Dual- or Multi-Boxing

1. You may use more than one account at the same time.
2. You may use more than one computer at the same time.
3. You must be actively playing on each account.
4. And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.
a. For example, if you press W on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.

edit: why in the world did this get moved to the Suggestions forum? Players Helping Players would have been better.
