Maybe I'm missing something, because this really seems like the kind of thing one of the stickied guides would cover, but I can't for the life of me locate any such guide.

I have two computers, and on one of them I have Prophecies, Factions, and Eye of the North. I've been thinking about getting Nightfall to finish the collection, and I want to install it on my second computer (which is in a different location) so that, theoretically, I'll have access to all four games from both computers. So, if I go to EB Games and buy a physical copy of Nightfall, what would I do upon coming home and installing it on the second computer in order to insure that it would be linked to my first account?

Go home, install NF on your second computer, log in on your account got to account option - add acsess (still cant spell that word) key and add your NF key to it.

Should all be fine and dandy then.

Just install with the disk then log on to your existing account (GW accounts are accessible from any computer with access to the internet) from the new computer. Add the new key to your present account and you are done (if you want to avoid long download times when going someplace you have not visited while on the new computer, you might want to do an -image download at some point / and it doesn't actually matter which computer you use to add the new key to your account)

The game discs contain little more then the client. You can install them on as many computers as you like. What controls where you can go once you log in, is your account and the access keys(which are one time use only) tied to it. Once your account is set up, you can log in and play on any computer you want.

So if you want NF tied to your current account, just add the NF key(when you buy it) into your account like you did the other keys. You can get started on installing the client on your second computer with your EoTN disc, which has the latest fully updated client of the 4 game discs.

Since you mean installing the game, you can instal the game on multiple computers, as long as you make sure your new Nightfall access key is added to your current account, you will have no problem. Just choose your poison for installing, CD or Download.

You just add the campaign to your existing account- you can access the game from ANY computer with internet access after that- your info is stored on A-nets servers.

Those are all wrong - it's just "access" without the dots or extra letters.
