You will be able to link your account with Guild Wars 2 as far as we know. If you buy the different games, you can link all of them to one account. Or you can start them as separate accounts. It doesn't matter which game you buy first, they are all stand alone games besides Eye of the North. You need at least one of the main games to play that.

Prophecies is the first one, most people recommend that one since it will show you the gameplay at a slower pace then the other two games. Although Nightfall which is the third game released has hero's which can be very useful through out most of the games since you can customize them the way you want.

You buy your first game or you buy the Trilogy which is all the games in one package. The storyline goes Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North.

If you bought one campaign then buy a second, you add it to your account by using the Add A Key link on your login screen. Then do the same with the third campaign and EotN. If you purchased the all-in-one package then you only need to add EotN to your account in the same manner.

When GW2 comes out, it will most likely have a different account id and password. But it can be linked to your NCSoft account so that any HoM benefits can be noted and your character names can be reserved.

Note: if you live in Europe you can buy a package called the Complete Collection with has three campaigns and EotN.

It's no longer Europe only. I saw a couple copies on the shelf at Walmart a couple weeks ago.

Thanks you guys! Really helped out!

But, If i buy for example Prophecies, And my friend has nightfall... Can we meet in-game then?

You can meet in the Great Temple of Balthazar and everywhere on the Battle Isles (the PvP area), but not in your PvE campaign. You can only play PvE campaigns together if you both own the same campaigns.

You can use your same character on each game as long as the games are linked to one account.

There was a discussion about this in another thread haha. I am thinking of uploading my Gw.dat file to a torrent so it's easily accesible for people that need it. As of right now there is not. You can either download everything as you play.

Or use the -image command. Make a desktop icon for GW and right click on it and click on it and a menu should open up. You should find a line that looks like this

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe"

Add the -image after it with a space so it looks like this.

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe" -image

Start up the game, this will force the game up download everything at once. Although it will take at least 2-3 hours maybe. In the end you'll have everything downloaded.

Once it's done downloading, the game will exit. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE -image COMMAND. Otherwise the game won't start up.

I think I'm right with all that, someone correct me if I messed up.

No problem, I know what you mean. Especially when you've been everywhere it's a pain having to reload just about every place.
