Guild Wars 2

Ok, one of my accounts got hacked on the morning of 3rd September and after that I had some problem with my system as well, so I cleaned up the whole system, reformatted my hard drive, so the game installation was gone and I could not do a new installation, as I bought the digital version and I did not have access to my account.

Yesterday, I bought the game from a retailer for my bro. Now, I am wondering if I do installation on my machine with this new serial code, that came with these retail DVDs, will I be able to play my actual account on this installation, when I get it back? Or do I need a seperate installation with the serial code of my actual account that got hacked, to play that account?

Thanks

This should be no problem what so ever as the game is the same, its just the difference that the cd version usually come with a few patches on them that were available when the cds or dvds were made, but it all updates to the same version

So there should be no problem and I can play both accounts on that one installation, regardless of the serial code? I mean as long as each of my accounts are registered with their respective serial codes on the website. Is this correct?

Sorry I am just confirming this, because I dont want to be ban for no reason, I do have rights to two seperate accounts, I just want to confirm if i am able to use one installation to play both accounts.

Thanks

Sure you can the discs are all the same just the codes different

To clarify yes anyone can log into and play their account from your pc

Yep this should be no problem what so ever, as long as both accounts use a different serial code (which unless you can hack their system has to have different codes) and that allows you to play both accounts on the one computer, I do not know however what their standing is on playing both accounts on the one pc at the same time though

Thanks a lot guys for explaining this to me.

Unless they intend to allow multiple people to play on the same account, they have to consider the possibility that more than one person in a family will use that same computer to play the game, using different accounts. So, in terms of policy, I don’t see why / how they could oppose it.

In “technical” terms there shouldn’t be any problem with multiple accounts sharing the same installation, you just need to log in with the respective names / passwords.

If each person wants to have different settings (different keys, different graphics preferences, etc.), that should be possible by giving each a separate OS user name. I think GW2 stores the preferences inside the user’s “Application Settings” folder (or possibly somewhere under “My Documents”), so different users should be able to keep their preferences separate, even when sharing the same GW2 program folder.

It’s not 100% impossible that something in GW2’s code gets confused with multiple users on the same system, but it’s very unlikely.

hope so, this is one game where it kinda depends on it or siblings will be kicking each other’skitten over pooled TP sales, collectibles, guilds etc.
