Map Download? - Guild Wars Forums

Victor123 · May 25, 2006, 02:05 PM // 14:05

My friend gave me his Guild Wars account, and I just played an hour of it. I spent about half an hour downloading the maps, this takes quite a long time because my connection is not that fast. Is there a way to download ALL the maps at once so you don't have to download them ingame.
ps. I installed the game using the 2 guild wars installer disks.
Thanks

make a copy of your GW icon, and in the properties add -image

This won't start the game, but it will download everything that needs updated/downloaded.

You'll still have to use your regular icon (without the -image) to access the game.
