Guild Wars 2

Is it a violation to purchase the game for someone else and simply provide them with the game code?

A recent report I read claimed that their girlfriend was banned for this reason alone.

I am concerned since I bought the game on my credit card for both my girlfriend as well as my step father. Are their accounts at risk as a result of solely this?

Thanks,

Ryan

While I didn’t see an option for gifting GW2 on the GW2 website, from my understanding you can gift unused serial codes but it is strictly against their policy for you to give your account to someone else ( one person to one account); i.e. You play the game decide you dont want to play anymore then give it to someone else to play.

So if you buy the game forward the email or send them the serial code and they should be able to set up their account. If your still unsure you can always send a ticket to support and they should be able to answer the question.

Also, in addition to what Mira said, make sure you get the codes from a reputable and legitimate/authorized seller.
