That is absolutely fine! As long as you have separate accounts, you’re welcome to have more than one person play on the same computer — happens all the time.

Thanks for introducing your brother to the game; I’m sure he’ll love it.

To add to this question, I have two neices that would love to play but don’t have their own email address. Is there a way to add additional Accounts to an email address? Thanks.

There are plenty of choices for creating free email addresses, your IP provider, hotmail, google and yahoo.

Thanks Gaile so that means even if he registers an account on my pc he can still install the hard copy on his own pc when he gets it?

Critical Brains, GW2 doesn’t care where it’s installed. It only cares who is logging in. You can install a copy on 10 different computers that you own and log in to play on one different computer a day if you like. Or you can have one computer shared by 20 people and all 20 people would be able to log into their own individual accounts on that same computer without issue.

As long as all 20 accounts don’t log in at the same time on the one computer lol. They don’t like multi-boxing :P

My homeworld is Blackgate.
I am a GW2 player in New Zealand.
Check me out on the GW2 wiki.
