Guild Wars 2

Hello,
With the recent announcements of core game going free-to-play, two keys that I bought during 10€ sale might be pointless. I have initially bought those keys for my friends, but due to real-life activities they were yet unable to play the game (they haven’t even registered accounts).
I would like to ask if there is really no way to refund those 2 purchases as they were never used and core game being free-to-play? Or I should use these as alt accounts or give them to my friends to make their game full?
Thanks in advance!

Give them to your friends so that they can have full accounts! The restrictions on F2P are reasonably lax, but they’re still restrictions. I’m sure your friends will appreciate it when they have the time to play.

Also, there is a time limit on when you could get a refund. Pretty sure it’s 30 days. At least with a full account, they would like it more. Or having alt accounts is nice too.

I think if they’re just unsure keys though Anet might be fine refunding them. OP hasn’t used the keys to create accounts yet I think.

Anet still have limits on refunds though. They haven’t sold just the base game in a really long time (seeing as they removed it when they started selling HoT) most likely to remove this issue.

You bought fully unlocked games. Now your friends could start F2P accounts but when they start to chaff at the F2P restrictions, you can give them a full account.

Thanks for the feedback! I might hold these keys until my friends decide that they like this game. Or even better, give them Heart of Thorns (if they really liked the game) and use those keys as alt accounts.

The $10 accounts were the best deal ever offered. By simply selling your login rewards, each $10 account can generate $10 worth of gems in about 2 months. If you ever planned on buying gems, the $10 accounts were a far better deal.

^^ This .. better create the accounts earlier than later so you can start collecting
your daily rewards before ANet decides to change them maybe.
