You have not applied a serial code
Don’t assume anything about other customers.
And if you have a problem, write a ticket. Hopefully the problem can be solved that way.
It sounds like the code you received from Gamestop may have been fraudulent, which could be why the account has been suspended. You’ll need to obtain a new code and apply it to your account before it can be reactivated. You should be able to do this buy purchasing a new code via the online store. If this is indeed the reason for the account suspension, which Customer Support can verify, you should be entitled to a refund by Gamestop. I would suggest putting in a support ticket on the issue, let Support investigate and tell you why the account is suspended. If it is because of a fraudulent code, print the response and take that with you (and your original purchase reciept) back to Gamestop and demand a refund.
Hello, I’ve decided after a 2 month break from GW2 to come back and give it another try, but I can’t even log into the game.
Here’s the error it gives me:
“You have not applied a retail serial code to your account and the grace period has ended. Until you apply a serial code, you will be unable to continue playing Guild Wars 2. Please visit the retailer where you pre-purchased or pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 to obtain your retail serial code.”Thing is, I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop, and already activated my game on release date. I played happily and I have a level 28 Asura Ranger, and now you’re telling me that I HAVEN’T applied a serial code?
I’ve already searched for the soltuion to this problem, and someone said you have to repurchase Guild Wars 2 from the website. And I’m for kitten sure not going to do that.
This has really kitten me off and I’m just going to uninstall the game unless I get a solution ASAP, along with plenty of other poor customers who are having the same problem.Thanks.
Hmmm… that’s pretty unusual! The best thing to do is to get an agent looking at this issue directly. So please contact Support by filing a ticket through the “Ask a Question” tab on that linked page. They will be able to assist you. For tips on what information to provide in a ticket, please read this post.

I wasn’t assuming anything. I looked up on this issue online, and there’s plenty of other people with this issue.
I submitted a ticket, and I’ll be awaiting a response soon.

I am glad that you submitted a ticket, but to be clear, we do not see this as a common issue. When it happens, it’s generally because someone did not purchase the retail version of the game, after participating in one of the beta events. (That’s why there’s a reference to a “grace period.”) I don’t think this message crops up in relation to fraudulent codes, and since your purchase from an authorized vendor (directly, I assume) that wouldn’t be a factor.
Anyway, I’m glad you’re talking to the team, so they can sort out this individual issue.
