He could ask for a refund if he bought the game in the store here.

But besides that your account is save.

This is my understanding of the situation. If he didn’t keep the records of serial number, doesn’t know account name or character names then he can’t contact support and get the account. If he plays the game and knows your account name and character’s names, has the card number used to purchase the account then even if he doesn’t know the serial number he can get the account through contacting support. He can also, for a certain amount of time until refunds are no longer allowed, deactivate the account by getting a refund.

This is assuming he bought the account through ANet. If he bought it elsewhere then probably only if he gets a refund.

I suggest you stay on his good side.

He gifted you the account in the correct way. This means you are 100% owner off the account.

The only reason something could happen is if he requests a refund (and so cancels his gift to you). That would mean the account was considered never to be sold and would be closed.

Note that if he asks for ANY refund then he will likely loose access to ALL accounts that were purchased with that card (not just the one he requests a refund for). Online retailers usually want to cut ALL ties with those requesting refunds or reversing charges.

He can only ask for a refund. He can not claim control over the account. If the account is indeed more then 1 year old and you used the account activly during that year he can’t ask for a refund, so there is nothing he can do to regain controll over your account.

If he bought from Anet he can request refund within 6months. After that you are save.
