If you are getting banned instead of the other person, then you probably did something that deserved it as well. If the other fella keeps disturbing you, take screenshots and report him to http://www.guildwars.com/support/. -- ab.er.rant 03:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

combinding an account

No, accounts can't be merged. Your only options are to buy prophecies again and add the access key in the other account, and start all Prophecies characters from scratch, or buy the other games besides Prophecies again and add them to the Prophecies account.

It could be a multitude of problems, ranging from no internet connection, a problem with ANet's servers, or just it's actually still loading. It's taken me five minutes+ to load a zone before, and a lot longer for the client to launch. Calor - talk 00:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

inappropriate name , then name change , then suspended.

Hi people, i know i will probably get shot down in flames but, have a read anyway. I bought the game made an account Rusty Kuntz (pronounced Koontz; google it,he was a major player) anyhow i can understand that sounds like a suspect name, so i get suspended for inappropriate name for 3 days. Now i argued the name and explained its origin, but fell on deaf ears, so i waited my suspension whereby on logging in i changed my name to Sir Spension, which is a play on words and i thought was amusing. Now heres the childish bit by arena net, they suspended me again for inappropriate name. I made a ticket, got one reply that it was being escalated to a senior guy, and thats it, nothing, no more replys one way or another. In my opinion i think who ever banned me for a name like that seriously needs to see a Doctor.

Thanks for reading and dont choke on your coffee laughing

They screwed you good, mate. I honestly don't know what to do when Anet doesn't answer.reanor 00:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

That is yet another example of problematic support staff. Aside from continuing to bug support, maybe you can bug Anet staff here about this too. The first suspension is acceptable, but the second suspension is just plain silly. -- ab.er.rant 00:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I have to admit that's a brilliant stroke of thinking with the second name, on your part. But ANet player support has been known to be..flawed, to say the least. You're apparently taking this whole hiatus well, so your best option would be to calmly explain the situation to an ArenaNet employee on this wiki. Good luck, Calor - talk 02:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey well, i registered in this wiki, cos at least people reply which is more than i can say for the support staff on my ticket, and thanks for that: I have no intention of pursueing this with arenanet as it is just a complete waste of time, i thought i would highlight the attitude that is being displayed There isnt any underlying faults to my suspension on my part it is as it is, i can even supply webshots in jpg format of the ticket page if anyone is interested. I will stay calm as i always am, rudeness is not my thing, i am actualy an admin on a bf1942 server, <snipped away email address> and my age is realy mature at 50 but if there are arenanet staff here who are interested and find my suspension deplorable you are welcome to say so or indeed contact me. Thanks for the ears Martyn Sir Spended 10:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

A small update concerning my name change, if i'm allowed to put it here, my original name was rusty as you know, and i had to change it (now sir spended), but all my armour/equipment is still customized to rusty, will this have any effect on my character or equipment ?? Martyn Sir Spended 00:29, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that what you ask is common knowledge here. Perhaps you could direct your question to one of the fan forums or back to support? I'm guessing if you can still wear the armour and can take it off *and* put it back on you aren't going to have any trouble with the wrong name on the customization. --Aspectacle 03:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

No, you can't. Anet knows, and don't want to fix it as most people affected have had an intentional bad name. An extra penalty, if you like. Backsword 06:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Same game, Multiple Keys on one Account

Let's say I have Prophecies. Then I decided to buy GW: GotY edition from a physical store (not the in-game store). My question is this: If I get the GotY edition, will I be able add it to my account? If I can, will I be get additional character slots as well as the in-game weapons? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:75.18.163.231 .

I believe that you will be able to add it to your account and get the weapons, but will not get any additional character slots. You can also get the same weapons from the in-game store for ~$5. -- Gordon Ecker 01:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

That is correct. There shouldn't be any difference between buying a physical product (and getting the key on paper) and buying it online (getting the key added automatically). -- ab.er.rant 08:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

please help

when i log on and it loads to where i am it loads 100% but then takes like 10minute to apper would i need a better game card or video card? which would i buy? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.76.153.72 .

Still depends on your complete pc setup, a slow processor with a fast graphic card is realy no better than a fast processor with a bad graphic card. What do you already have as a setup, then it would be easier to understand your problem, which would include your internet speed plus are there any programs running while you play. Sir Spended 01:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Sounds more like a memory limit to me; the only reason for it to take time is the need to swap with virtmem. Try making sure you run as few things as possible in the background. Backsword 06:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

GW vs Collector

Hi, I bought prophecie 2 years ago and since i've add faction, nightfall and GW:en wich gave me a total of 8 characters slot. Now i would know if i can add a collector edition key to my account and get 2 or 4 more slots at the same times. Is it possible or that will do nothing? Thanx --08:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:209.5.96.146 .

You won't get extra slots. The collector's key just takes precedence, iirc, and your characters will get that glowy aura thingy on their hands when they dance. -- ab.er.rant 08:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Note that you can buy extra character slots in the ingame store. Backsword 08:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

First of all, the wiki isn't a place to find out about why you've been banned. The most you can do is contact support via the official site, http://www.guildwars.com/support. Also, Droknar's Forge or any other place in Prophecies won't have Ritualist armour, they are only in Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. -- br12 • (talk) • 16:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps my previous response was unclear... you do not need a trial code to buy Guild Wars. You can buy the game and have a new account created when you buy from the PlayNC store. -- ab.er.rant 05:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It says,"Warning: Guild Wars® serial codes purchased here can only upgrade existing accounts associated with this PlayNC master account or create new accounts. If you wish to upgrade an unassociated Guild Wars® game account, you must purchase the serial code from the in-game store or buy a boxed edition." So i guess i need a trial code to visit the in-game store thanks

I think you can buy the game from the NC website, they will just send you a code. You won't need to use the in game store because that store isn't in game. Once you have bought the first game you can buy the others from the in game store. Anon

yes,i'll get a code but i never have an account associated with PlayNC master account . Do you mean that using the code i can creat a GW account? thanks heartfully

!!!!"If you wish to upgrade an unassociated Guild Wars® game account, you must purchase the serial code from the in-game store or buy a boxed edition."

   That is exactly why i need a trial code to visit the in game store.

Can you access the in-game store with a trial account? -- Gordon Ecker 07:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It is considered to be allowed to do so .Some one maybe get the dear GW in this way . I do not konw .I 'd like to believe it . Yes,when i get a trial code ,I can enter the game,and click to enter the in game store.

You can enter the store without an account of any sort if you download the client iirc -elviondale (tahlk) 07:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I now got a code but...still can not put it into my ncaccount horrible !

I think you are making this far too complicated than you need to be. Lets do this step by step:

1. Buy Guild Wars and get an access key
2. Download or install the Guild Wars client.
3. Start Guild Wars and let it update itself.
4. On the log-in screen, click Create Account or Add Access Key
5. Click Create a new Guild Wars account
6. Enter your access key - and away you go!

That way, you are using your new key to make a new account. :) Biscuits 13:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Removing account keys

You can't remove a key but you can still upgrade your non-collector account by adding the collector account key to it and you'll receive the collectors edition bonus. -- (gem / talk) 23:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Guild Wars Platinum Edition

I have the above product but cannot find a way to activate the GWEN expansion pack and cannot find any notes to say how to do this and I hope you can let me know what to do. Many thanks --82.0.56.7 11:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It should already be active on your account if you have the Platinum version. To reach it, you have to take a quest from Lion's Arch. Search for Len Caldoron and he will give you the access quest. - anja 11:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I have tried that but he will not tell me anything I'm a level 20 is there anything else I need to do?--82.0.56.7 12:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

That is all you need to do, so it could be that you only have Prophecies, not the Platinum edition. I didn't get the Platinum so don't know if it came with one to two keys. If there was a Prophecies, and a GW:EN access key in the box, you need to add the GW:EN key to your account to get it to work. You can check which products are active by:

1. Logging in
2. Click Edit Account
3. Tick Manage Access Keys
4. Click Next

If the top list does not contain Guild Wars Eye of the North then you do not have it activated. If you have done all of this and Len Caldoron will still not give you the quest, you will have to contact support. Biscuits 12:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

You can't merge existing accounts together, so your Factions account will have to stay separate. If you buy another Factions account, make sure you go to "Add an new key to an existing account" instead of "Create a new account" br12 • (talk) • 16:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you can. All the information about the account is stored on the ArenaNet servers, not on your computer. It loads your characters live based on the log-in you use. So you just need to get your son a new access key and click the "Create Account or Add Access Key" link from the log-in screen (make sure you chose to create a new account). Then you can both play on the same computer, just by logging in with your different accounts. Incidentally, you can play with your account on any computer with Guild Wars installed.

Every account has its own email adress...also, make sure your son is at least 13 as on the back of the box, it says no one under 13 is permitted to play the game, meaning that they could ban his account if he's under 13 at any time. — ク Eloc 貢 07:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Sharing Accounts

Quick question. My brother and I have shared a GW account for just over a year now. He did the PvE thing, I did the PvP thing. I'm getting a computer of my own soon. Are there any rules against sharing one account on two computers? And would we both be able to be logged in on the same account at once (probably not, just thought I'd ask)? Thanks for your time. --71.229.204.25 02:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, cool. Thanks. --71.229.204.25 02:39, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't do it. The EULA states "Only one person may use an Account", which I interpret as using the account from only one machine at a time (as it is impossible for them to tell if different people are playing or not otherwise). If you log in from different machines at the same time and are seen to be doing different things I think you could expect your account to be permanently banned. --Aspectacle 02:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

If they had a PvP-only pack that came with nothing but all the skills, the items, and the Battle Isles and Guild Hall access, I would.

As far as I know, GW is not being distributed by PlayNC in China (someone mentioned the name, "The 9" or something, can't remember) so yea, I would expect that you cannot buy directly from PlayNC from within China. I don't claim to be correct, but I'm guessing that you could try and get a copy of GW from outside China (maybe even just one of the campaigns). That would of course mean that you won't be in the same network as players playing China's version of GW. -- ab.er.rant 18:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

But in the begin it wasn't trial.

The trial content is the same as the normal game content, as far as I know. The trial key lasts 14 hours of gameplay time. I'm assuming you played X<14 hours on day one, and the next day you played the remaining amount of hours, and so the 14 hour key expired.

Main Menu. You will see the offer in the right hand corner. Follow instuctions, and eventually you should be able to get a GWEN Trial Key. However, if you do not own a previous game (Prop/Fac/NF), you will be unable to enter regardless. Hope that helps. --Readem 06:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

NOW i got chapter 1 +2 +3+EotN + pvp access ,CAN I remove the pvp access to another empty account of PlayNC and just play pvp?

puzzled .Help needed . thanks respectful members of GWWiki . :-) I love Winters Day since 05 .

Probably not. Contact Support and see what they can do, although I'm betting you are too late. They make more money this way. ;-) Biscuits 10:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging Guild Wars and PlayNC Accounts

I have a Guild Wars account that is tied to my email address, and I have a PlayNC account (for Dungeon Runners). Can I merge both under the PlayNC account? If not, that would be nice to have. --Vedreus Aardimus 13:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

i don't think so you could probably find it just going through plaync. if there isn't it would be nice to have.--話す priestess donut 寄付21:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

If I recall, there is something about linking your Guild Wars account to a PlayNC master account when you try to enter the store for the first time. It was a long time ago though and I don't remember the details. Biscuits 22:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I know this is kinda old, but I think I found what you were referring to:

Guild Wars Account Integration into PlayNC Account Management

... When a purchase is made through the Guild Wars In-Game Store, you are required to integrate your Guild Wars game account into the PlayNC Account Management system. You can either create a new PlayNC master account name and password or you can link it to your existing PlayNC master account to make a purchase. After doing so, all administrative options such as changing your game account password, would then be managed from your PlayNC master account...

I haven't tried it myself, but I think this is the way to go about it. It would be nice to have that option outside of the in-game store, though. → BROWNSPANK 06:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Retrieving data archive

25months 3000hrs gone i have to download every town again after a "retrieving data archive" is there anything that can be done?206.18.168.16 19:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

No account data is stored on your computer. All that you've lost are the game files, so just re-download your GW.dat and everything will be fine. You won't have lost your characters. — kyrasantae 19:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

^ that. It'll just be twenty minutes of downloading GW.dat and a minute or so every time you enter a new area for a while. --71.229.204.25 19:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

use the -image command to download all towns at once, might take a while though.Rhydeble 20:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

lost account

i bought guild wars game of the year edition last year at christmas and my computer froze and i didn't really get to play it although i did install it into my computer. i never wrote down my account or my password because i thought the access key card would reinstall it and i would still be able to play. is there any way i can find out my account number? sadly i don't know which email i used although i can guess which one it was probably.

--76.192.61.210 22:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Try guessing the email first. Once you have that, you can probably get your password from support.-- br12 • (talk) • 23:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Transfering a character

Hello,

We would like to purchase a second Prophesies game for our second computer we just built, and be able to use the same characters from the first Prophesies game. Is it possible to transfer the characters to the new account, so that we can use the characters we already created to play together.

Thanks,

Lorin, David, and Andrew.

Sorry, but this is not possible. Characters are an integral part of the account. You can use the same account on any number of coputers, as long as only one is used at once, but I guess that's not what you're after. Backsword 18:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Changing account E-Mail-address?

I recently changed my E-mail-address, and now I want to know whether it is possible to change my account-E-mail-address in GW and how to do it if possible --Aquila Noctis 13:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, but contact support. Don't think it is possible RT | Talk - A joyous wintersday to all 13:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

You could always set up mail forwarding. (If it's a gmail, it can download via pop to your gmail inbox RT | Talk - A joyous wintersday to all 13:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, there's nothing in the FAQ, but I'll have a try with direct contact later. They helped me before... But I too guess that it is imposible, to prevent account stealing etc. You can change the address of your PlayNC-account, though... --Aquila Noctis 13:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Acess keys

I have installed Nightfall on my computer. For christmas, i got factions, prophicies, and EotN. Do I need to install any of those before i add the acess keys, or can i just add the acess keys to my nightfall account?

You can just add the access keys to your account. All the games run from the same installation, which automatically stays up to date, so there is no need to install anything extra. Also see the Access key article. Biscuits 17:48, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

EotN access code

I got Eye of the North, and why don't i have an access code? You are supposed to have 5 sections, but on my card, I only have 3. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:75.121.161.86 .

Why supposed to have 5? What "sections" are you referring to? Of the three, the first would be your access key, the other two are trial keys. -- ab.er.rant 07:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I guess he means that, instead of a key with the format xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-wwww-vvvv, he got one with something like xxxx-yyyy-zzzz. In any case, if you bought the game on a retail store, and you are sure you are looking to the right code card (here they come inscribed inside a black card, just need to open), you may want to ask to the store where you bought it for a product change (it may have been wrongly printed).--Fighterdoken 07:14, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah I see, good point. I thought he was referring to how many codes he has on his card. Apologies -- ab.er.rant 07:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

The Eye of the North access code card I got looks like a Norn Shield. -- Gordon Ecker 08:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Over here in Germany, you just get a little plastic card glued onto a plastic sheet, and the ode's on the backside of that card.And I have 5 sections... maybe you didn't uncover the complete code? --Aquila Noctis 10:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Charecter Slots

I got all three capmpeigns...and each 1 gave me 2 more slots. If i get EotN..does it give me 2 more slots even tho its not a campeign?

You get no extra slots with Eye of the North. Try reading the article about it for more info. -- br12 • (talk) • 18:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Since it's an expansion rather than a campaign, you don't get any more character slots or extra storage space. --Kakarot 18:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

i thinktheyshuold b/c if not..you dont have enough slots to have 1 of each proffesion....

It's called marketing. Feel free to buy two slots for twenty dollars into Anet's pocket. Calor (t) 00:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

20$!!!Icuold by another campeign for that much...but i guess ill have to do it...or do u men 20 dollars on the game or in real life?

$20 in the In-Game Store, not sure if you can buy them elsewhere. --Kakarot 03:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Why did you assume that just because they have 10 professions they should give you 10 slots? I don't recall any online game which gives you character slots based on how many classes or races they have... -- ab.er.rant 15:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Lol. Buy Proph again since its $30.00 and you get 4 slot. buy 3 slot get 1 slot free! lol -Anon

moving characters from one account to another

if a person has been playing on one account, and they have recently purchased an account, is it possible to move a character from one account to another?

first off buying accounts are against the ULA second no you can not transfer characters from one account to another.-話す priestess donut 寄付00:58, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

No, buying an account from another user is against EULA, but buying a whole new account is not ;) And no, as priestess said, it is not possible to transfer characters. - anja 15:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a little grey area on it? Scrath it off with a coin or something, and you'll find random letters and numbers. That is your access key. -- br12 • (talk) • 18:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
