Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’m a semi casual gw player and recently found out about the additional pets you can get by linking your gw1 account to your gw2 account.

I happened to remember my GW account login information but when I logged on with the details to the gw2 site I was shocked to find the account has already been linked to someone’s account.

There is no other information regarding the account. What should I do? If I try to link my gw account to my gw2 account will that cause any problems or just not work at all? What can I do to get my GW account back and linked to my gw2 account?

Raise a support ticket.

What happens when you log into your Guild Wars (One) account? Can you log into it? Sounds like someone has gained access to your GW1 account and thus stolen it.

You can contact CS by submitting a request (Top of Page – Services/Support – Submit a Request). You should read the articles on Account Security in the Knowledge Base on the same page.

Good luck.

Thanks for the responses.

I haven’t logged on my guild wars account in years and don’t have the client. Logging on the web page requires a character name which i cannot remember.

Only motivation I had was unlocking the pets for my ranger character but it seems someone beat me to it

i downloaded the gw1 client and tried to log in with my details. it says the gw account has been blocked for an account issue. Error=045

At this point i’m more interested about unlocking the pets for my ranger than recovering the account. What would be the easiest way to do this? purchase eye of the north and create a new account with it or do i still need to purchase gw separately to eye of the north?

You would need to purchase EOTN and at least one of the campaigns. And then you would need to play the game all over again until you get the Ranger pets you want. If you want all the ranger pets you will need the full 30 points as the black widow spider is at point 30.

Thank you Astral

I never progressed far with my original account when I had gw1. Just couldn’t get into the instanced game style.

I checked the wiki but even that’s rather confusing. Is there an easier to digest guide somewhere that tells you what you need to purchase and what needs to be done to get the 30 points required to unlock pets? I’m hoping it doesn’t take 50+hrs to get all that :O

I think it would take a lot more than 50 hours, unless you have a lot of in-game gold, and/or friends/guildies to run you and help you.

It will take WAY more than 50 hours to get 30 points. iirc it took me and a friend approximately 6 months of steady playing to get the 30 points. You will need to level to 20. Beat all available missions (depending on how many campaigns you buy) in regular mode. Beat all available missions in Hard Mode. Then do stuff like PvP for keys, get money for armor and weapons or do the content to get them as rewards, completely explore maps, vanquish maps in Hard Mode, to give some examples.
