Q:

Apologies if this has been addressed before but I couldn’t find an archived topic. I’m playing on a new-ish iMac with recent OS upgrades. GW2 now crashes every time I play, usually at startup. Occasionally I can get an hour or so of PT before it locks up again. I then have to run Onyx to rebuild/clean up and restart several times. I’ve read several threads that say this is a mac client issue and that the ‘powers-that-be’ will never bother to upgrade or improve it etc etc.
I’ve resisted installing Bootcamp but now seems I have no choice. So my question is simply this: If I switch to the PC version will I keep all my mac-based characters? I honestly don’t know how they are archived etc. and REALLY don’t want to have to level characters up again.

Thanks for reading

A:

Yes, as stated above all account data is kept the same. You can switch between them with no problem at all. I play on both Mac and PC version via Bootcamp so I can confirm this will not be a problem and honestly playing via Bootcamp is a huge performance upgrade so I suggest it. You will not lose any progress on your account.

you’ll still keep your characters, I’m sure. your account data/character data is kept on the server, not locally, so it shouldn’t matter if you switch OS.
