Guild Wars 2

Hello, GW community,

I just had a quick question. I have a GW1 account but I’m not sure if it’s linked to a GW2 account. I want to test it if it’s unlinked so I was thinking I would login to my account GW2 account on the account page and try and link it. But I don’t want to link it to my GW2 account, I just want to see if it’s unlinked or not. Would the account page ask me something like “Are you sure you want to link your GW1 and GW2 together?” Or would it just link it as soon as I press the link button?

I don’t know about that part but I do know that the linked accounts have the same password. If your accounts have different passwords then they are not linked. If you change the Guild Wars 2 password then the linked Guild Wars 1 password will change also.

Question:

1. When you link GW1 account and GW2 account, they merge the email and password right? So the email (login) and password will be the same?

2. For those of you who doesn’t know, before I ask this next question, I’d like to point out that you can indeed login with your GW1 account login and password ON the guild wars 2 website to manage your GW1 info and email. I just want to write that to make sure ppl don’t get confused as this is possible.

So my question is, when I login with my GW1 account on the GW2 website, it shows only my GW1 account. So does this mean it’s not linked? Because if it was linked to a GW2 account, wouldn’t it go straight to your GW2 account since emails (logins) and passwords for both GW1 and GW2 accounts get merged when you link them?

Thanks again

If your accounts are linked, you will get this message/page when clicking ’Upgrade or Link Accounts":

Your Guild Wars accounts are linked

Congratulations! You have successfully linked your Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 accounts. In doing so, you now have access to the exciting rewards awaiting you inside the Hall of Monuments. The following Guild Wars 2 account information will now be used to log in to both Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2:

I’m not talking about my accounts linked. I want to know if my GW1 account is linked to one of my gw2 accounts. When I try to login on the GW2 website with MY GW1 account info, it brings me to my GW1 account page and I can’t download GW2 because it’s unavaible. Going to ask the same question again:

“So my question is, when I login with my GW1 account on the GW2 website, it shows only my GW1 account. So does this mean it’s not linked? Because if it was linked to a GW2 account, wouldn’t it go straight to your GW2 account since emails (logins) and passwords for both GW1 and GW2 accounts get merged when you link them?”

Can a dev reply please? When accounts are linked, both the Login (email) and Password is the SAME for GW1 and GW2 accounts right?

If the information to log in is different for your GW1 account than it is for your GW2 account, then the accounts are not linked.

I’m not sure I understand “I’m not talking about my accounts linked.” If you are asking if your two Guild Wars accounts are linked, then the answer to your question can be ascertained by either looking at your GW2 ‘My Account’ page, or determining if the Account Name and password are the same for both.

Or…contact CS and ask. Good luck.

There is one simple way to find out, change your Guild Wars 2 password. If your Guild Wars 1 password changes auto changes to the same thing then they are linked. If it doesn’t, then they are not.

Okay I need an answer to this question:

When you linked a GW1 and GW2 account, will the login (email) and password be the same? I mean there won’t be a different login and password for the GW1 account and GW2 account if they’re merged right?

So again my question is, when you merge your GW1 and GW2 account together, the Login (which is also the email) and password will be the same right? Or will it still be different?

I forgot to mention, this is if the login (email) is different on the GW1 account and different on the GW2 account BEFORE linking it together

Once you link them, the Account Names (Email associated with the account) become the same, yes. As well as the password.

If you have an NCMA account, the passwords will be different for the NCMA account and your Guild Wars accounts, though (unless you happened to use the same password for all accounts, which may not be wise).
