Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m coming back into the lovely land of Guild Wars 2 and have been wondering do I use my account password and account name for when I am about to play? Thanks.

You use your Account Name (email address associated with your Game Account) and your password (associated with your Game Account).

The exact same information you use to log into the forums.

Welcome return, and good luck! =)

if your email address was john.doe@example.com and your account name was MrxFivexAlive.2980, and your password was ThisIsABadPassWordDoNotUseIt

you’d login with:
Username: john.doe@example.com
Password: ThisIsABadPassWordDoNotUseIt

This would be confusing because Account Names are never names like JaneDoe.1234

Such names (with .xxxx) are Display Names. Account Names are email addresses.

“if your email address aka account name was john.doe@example.com and your account name display name was MrxFivexAlive.2980, and your password was ThisIsABadPassWordDoNotUseIt”

The way ANet named account and display names confuses so many people. There are regular posts where people think the account name is the display name and then can’t log onto the game.
