Some Release Questions - Guild Wars Forums

Okay first off I was wondering about the game itself. When I get the game do I just type the CD Key in the old BWE client or do I have to reinstall it? And if I re-install do I need to re-download all the maps and stuff??

You can just type in your CD-Key.
The CD has most of the game content on it, so anything you hadn't already downloaded should be able to come from the CD instead of downloading. (Very important for dialup users like myself.)

Yeah if you're on dialup be sure to install from the CD. If you already downloaded the client from the guildwars web page and you have high speed it won't hurt too bad to just repatch, but you'll have to load all of the new zone files when you zone.

It was a nice suprise not having to load zone files over again when I installed from the CDs.
