Guild Wars 2

So I have a very good friend IRL and I gave him my Guild Wars account info (email/pass) so he can play Guild Wars 1 while I play Guild Wars 2, both games are on the same account and they are linked. The problem is that I keep on getting tons of authorization emails every day (3-4-5 or more per day, that look like this “A log-in attempt from the following location is currently awaiting your authorization.” and than the IP/country and the link to accept the log-in attempt). Is it possible that these emails are send to me every time my friend tries to log-in to Guild Wars 1, because i tried changing my passworld and the emails stopped and when i gave the new password to my friend again they started again too (the emails)? The Log-in attemps are made by several IPs, I never accept them but my friend has no problems with loging in Guild Wars 1. Is it possible that my friend has Guild Wars 2 client and tries to login in it every day since the launch of the game? Should i be afraid of something? Or just ignore all the emails? Tell me if you need more information to answer me and i will give it to you + sorry for my bad english.

Edit 1: the IPs are from my country and the cities around my city + my city

One problem is that allowing your friend to use your other account breaks TOS, the legal agreement you made with them. This will affect any response from ANet.

He is in the next door, he is like fammily member to me, we have been together all the time, its like giving your little brother to play the game in the next room, however I didn’t give him to play GW2 because i want him to buy it so we can play together, its like “here, try GW1 from my account, if you like it go and buy GW2 so we can play it together” buut he is playing GW1 and he has no money for GW2 for now (he is younger than me so the only way to buy it is his parents) and since i dont play GW1 anymore i decided not to cut his access, i really hope that ANET will not have anything against that but if they have, ill do whatever they say, even cutting his access to GW1, i hope you and anet understands me and thanks for the reply

You can answer your own question by determining your friends external IP address and comparing it to your emails…..

He said his friend is next door. Wouldn’t their IP be identical, or close to it? I thought IP was by area.

Maybe he could just ask his friend if he downloaded the GW2 client and is logging into the OP’s account. If his friend is not trustworthy enough to tell the truth, then maybe it would be best to change the password.

Also, I know (at least previously) that logging into GW1 would make the account show up in your friend’s list in GW2 as online (because the accounts were linked). I am not sure that still happens. But, it could have (and might still) affected the security page’s list of accounts logged in.

Only if they are using the same IP connection / ISP (which is certainly possible). Different ISPs SHOULD have different IP ranges assigned. IP address ranges are not allocated by physical geographic locations (tho they can be similar or the same if all the local ISPs are actually using the same access network).

On the other hand, if he sees IP connections that are NOT from his area, it would be safe to assume a hack attempt is being made. If that’s the case, he needs to change his GW2 email account address (as hackers have it and know it’s a valid user log in).
