Hi guys, this is the situation: now I’m playing on the NA servers but I’d like to play on the EU servers as well.

So, since I can’t pay the gems’ price for a change of server, I thought of creating a second account somehow linked to my purchased copy, to have two accounts; one on the NA and the other on the EU servers.

In other words, I’m looking to have two different accounts linked to the same copy of the game, with a method that would certify I am the owner of these two accounts and therefore of the copy.

Is this possible to do? If yes, how?

(last minute thinking: probably no, because then people would just make two different accounts instead of paying the gems for server change, but I’m willing to ask anyway, you never know).

You’d have to buy another copy of the game to create a second account. That’s how it works.

But there should be no restriction on which region you play in with a second, purchased account.

You can make another account, by purchasing a second copy of the game. There is, however, no way to link these two accounts. Each account is separate, and autonomous.

And each would require it’s own email address. They could use the same installation on your computer no problem, however.

Each account is separate and multiple accounts cannot be linked or merged. You can use the same downloaded content, but you would need to log out and log in to the separate accounts, with different serial codes, etc. The only linking would be between a Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 account.

I hope that answers your question.

Hey Gaile,
Somewhat related…what’s Anet’s policy regarding playing two clients on one machine/IP at the same time? Not trying to do anything illicit…I just like to keep my second account up on a second monitor to flip items on the trading post while I’m running dungeons on my main account.
Thanks

‘Dual- or Multi-Boxing

You must be actively playing on each account.
And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.

So yes it is allowed to do what you want to do.
