What would happen if... - Guild Wars Forums

Say you had two computers and installed GW on both. What would happen if you tried to log onto the same account on hem? Does it give you a message saying you're already on somewhere else?

It would actually boot the first computer out of the server, and allow the 2nd one to log in. I've read several posts on this here, where the underlying opinion seems to be it does this in order to allow the actual account owner to login and boot someone who has keylogged/stolen their account information.

Okay, thanks.

It also gives a message on the booted account to say that someone has logged into your account, which I think is good
