Hi. I was wondering, Is it against the rules to move/copy GW into a much simpler directory..say one called "C:/GW" I just wanted it closer in the C drive for easier backups.

Thanks

Chris

It's your computer. You can place it wherever you like. I have mine on a flash drive so i can take the game around with me.

You can put it wherever you like.

FLASHDRIVE Never thought of putting it their how well does it run same as it does on hardrive?

id guess you have to copy the file off the USB onto a harddrive cause im pretty sure usb isnt that fast

Samerkablamer, no, you can run it directly off the usb/externalhdd =D

As people have said, you can put it wherever you like. "c:\program files\" is just where windows likes to put stuff by default, but it's not required and it's not against anyone's rules not to put it there. Mine is in D:\program files\guild wars

You will find that Vista wants to put your templates and screenshots under "Documents" though, no matter where you install the game. (Not sure what happens if you have it on a flash drive or external USB drive with Vista)

Speaking of which - to those who run Win7 - does Win7 also move your templates etc.?

This has to be one of the most awkward questions I've ever read :S

Same as Vista - C:\Users\yournamehere\Documents\Guild Wars

My GW is on F:\Games\GW for the record (and F:\Games\GW2 for the second account.)

BIGbadBull · Nov 08, 2009, 09:49 PM // 21:49

alas it does,
moves it to c:\users\<username>\documents\guild wars\templates\skills

would like to find out how to change that, don't like it up there

run GW in compatibility mode for XP SP3. that will put the templates back in the GW folder.
