Guild Wars 2

I began my adventures in Tyria with my trusty, but old, 32-bit PC with mediocre memory and graphics capability. I figured at six years old, this old work horse deserves a quiet retirement. So, I just ordered a much more capable computer and it should arrive soon.

What is the procedure for reinstalling GW2 on my new computer? Do I simply install from the DVD and then the app will patch once I connect? Will my saved characters be available to me?

Thanks!

Nothing to worry about. Your characters will always be available to you unless you decide to delete them, they are not stored in your pc. As for the installation, install normally and the launcher will patch the game automatically.

That’s awesome! Thanks for the information. Onward to Tyria!

If you can, make a copy of your GW2 directory and then copy it back onto the new machine. Next, run the GW2 setup and it will install and not have to download anything. This works for GW1 also.
