Hello everyone.

Wanyfer, I am afraid to tell you that such transfers are not possible. Besides, account sharing is expressly forbidden. If your brother wants to keep on playing in Tyria, then he should purchase the game and start creating his own characters.

Hello everyone.

Escthiil, we are sorry to hear that as we understand how much this affects your gaming experience. However, you need to write again a ticket to Customer Support as the forums will not help you resolving this issue. Loli Ruri is pointing out the right direction: the more details you give, the quicker and better they can help you and your account.

We proceed to close the thread.
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconveniences.

Hello everyone.

Seamouse, we understand your frustration. But as Kumu Honua points out, a great deal of players are getting their accounts back. The process can take time because it is done manually. If you sent a ticket, then rest assured that Customer Support will restore your account. Just wait a little bit, please, till it gets fixed.

If your ticket goes unanswered for three days, please, post your reference number in the following thread.

Hello everyone.

As already stated by some users, the forums are not the best place to post information or links like this one. It is indeed unfortunate that Dulfy has been banned but this is a personal issue that she, and no one else, needs to clarify with Customer Support. Rest assured that at the moment they are working hard to restore the accounts of players that were not botting whatsoever.

We proceed to lock the thread.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

I am sorry that you were not helped more quickly. We’re having difficulty getting paid by financial institutions while at the same time noting an increase in fraud, so we are necessarily acting with caution. The account notes indicate there is something deemed to be risky about the transaction, and yes, you will be given a refund.

Again, I’m very sorry.

A friend I invited for the free trial is unable to finish creating an account because he is being prompted for his GW1 password, which he doesn’t remember. I didn’t think it was mandatory to link the two accounts, but even if he claims not to have a GW1 account, he is told “A Guild Wars account already exists” and is only given the options of either linking the original Guild Wars account or visiting the support website. Any suggestions?

Is it possible for him to use a different email address? I think that if he purchases the game later, he’d still be able to link the accounts, and in the short term that might be a solution he could try.

Will these adjustments to the server capacity allow older players to move servers? I’ve been trying to move to Tarnished Vale for about a week now and it’s always full and it will be nice if I could give my friends an answer on where we are going.

I do not know that we will change the “one move per 7 days” rule. But with the adjustments, that should be far less necessary.

Perhaps it’s important to note that “infraction” doesn’t mean the account has necessarily suffered any time-out or penalty. Most “infractions” are in fact simply a warning, a means to tell people to follow the Forum Code of Conduct. We certainly do not mean to drive away good posters, but simply aim to maintain a pleasant and reasonable tone and a high percentage of solid, contributory posts.

Buying gems and experiencing a bug...

Apparently NCSoft is firm on this issue. If you spend gems on anything, and experience any sort of bug when you do- you dont get the item, you get a different item, the wrong quantity etc. then your only recourse is to have your account banned to get a refund on the purchase.

Great way to treat your customers. So glad I paid $70 for this game to be treated this way

What you’ve posted is not accurate. If there truly is a game bug, we’ll bend over backwards to help those who are impacted. Once we’ve established that there is/was a game issue, we make adjustments to make sure the folks get their items. (See the CE/DDE item threads for proof of this.)

Naturally, individual situations take research. Anyone could claim “I bought this thing and it did not arrive.” But if the logs confirm that, we do our best to help. Some items, such as character slots or storage panes, are not eligible for review because they make a permanent impact on the account.

Each case is reviewed individually, and in some cases you will be able to add a code. But remember, the account was flagged for fraud and so we must be very conservative in allowing these accounts to get back into the game.

If someone is a fraudster — not flagged accidentally but actually using a fraudulent CC — we cannot afford to allow them to add another code. If someone is an innocent victim of a fraudulent reseller, we may be able to help.

There are other variables, so you really need to wait for help from the team, and an agent will review this for you. I’m sorry for the wait and hope it all sorts out well for you!

The red circles are showing you where the dredge arillery is about to strike. You need to avoid them, since the artillery hits pretty hard. Once you reach the bridge you should be safe from the artillery, and you can carefully pull the dredge. Aggro’ing the entire group at once will cause problems. I just completed it as a L30 mesmer with sceptre/pistol (I don’t play mesmer much so that was the weapon set I was most familiar with) and while I agree that another balance pass will help, I was able to get through in one try without dying.

Keyloggers are usually related to computers, and phishing, and personal security, and generally are not specific to a game. They are common with bot and exploit programs, which is one of the reasons we discourage the use of third-party programs.

Just wanted to let peeps here know that I had an issue with resetting my password and since I did not have a support account setup I had to use the web form.

Thank you for this positive and reassuring post! We are working very hard to reduce the time it takes to respond to issues and in many cases, the answer does come within an hour. We’ll continue to try to lower the time on the complex issues, like fraud and bot appeals, too.

Hi Gerke, have you tried repairing your client yet? If not, I would recommend following the steps below:

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 installation folder.

2. Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”

3. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Repair.”

4. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”

5. Edit the “Target” line to include -repair at the end.

Note: Please make sure -repair is outside of the quotes

Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” -repair
Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe -repair”

6. Once completed, click “Ok” to save your changes.

If you get an error trying to save, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try step 5 again.

7. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Repair” to start the repair process.

Once completed, please try starting Guild Wars 2 again.

So I just don’t think it’s a great short term investment. Give it 6 months and you’ll probably earn a nice profit.

Truth is, supply and demand will dictate that the items will be more profitable as long as other players want the skins. Thus far, other players definitely want them.
