Which account should i use? - Guild Wars Forums

I recently recovered my day 1 GW account, with all the games and EotN, so i'm happy. The only things I have unlocked for heroes and skills and such are what I went around and did myself, so there is not a lot. No bonus items, outside of the fire imp stone. There is just a lot of nostalgia tied to the account, I think. Countless hours across many characters, a lot of friends come and gone, all the good stuff.
My new account, which isn't very old, has most of the unlock packs paid for from the store as well as all 3 games and EotN. Not a whole lot of time invested, though. 1 level 20 that does not have much accomplished.

I'm just curious as to which account you folks think I should carry on with? I'm no hard core player by any means. I don't farm or do anything repetitively. I just enjoy the game for what it is (so far). Still have to get around to completing Nightfall and Eye of the North campaigns.

Regards.

keep them both--you can always use the old one for mules (and birthday gifts). Play on the one you have unlocked the most with....you can always play the other if you feel like it.

I'd go with the original account. With the current overpoweredness of the skill set having everything unlocked from the beginning is going to make the game absurdly easy. Collecting the skills as you go along will be more rewarding. If you're just looking to casually enjoy the game I'd opt for the fun of having your original characters rather than taking advantage of the shortcuts provided by the unlock packs.

i agree with cosy, play both, and switch to the other when you like
i dont think it'd be bad to play with skills unlocked, tbh
you can play the way you want, anyway

also, most people you face in GW are doing the same a lot
but many people who team up may want you to have many or all skills unlocked
not many people help/join newbies/accounts with barely anything anymore
could do like me, making own builds from scratch

i'm getting all skills unlocked by buying them ingame with 1 of my primary profs
so 1 ele is gonna get all ele skills and such (including elites)

thing is, your new account costed more i think, so you'd be better off playing that one, if you wanna choose only 1 account to play on, thats my opinion
