I haven't played Guild Wars in forever and was planning on getting back into it, however, I have some concerns about the automatic updater. I now attend a major university that requires me to connect through their network, unfortunately the network goes berserk if it detects any kind of P2P technology. To give you an idea, I tried playing the free version of Dungeons and Dragons online and in the middle of updating my internet cuts out and I'm told that I have violated the schools network policy regarding the use of P2P programs and have lost internet for an hour. I was informed the next violation would be a week. I don't want to lose my internet for a week, I need it for class so I ask you, is it possible that the Guild Wars updater will cause the same issue?

GuildWars does act in some ways as a P2P program,I also heard from multiple people that GW causes problems when it comes to schools and P2P programs,You should still however go to your admins and give them information on GW, chances are they will put GW in exceptions.
Do not try it without asking though, the risk is not worth it, you need internet for more imoirtant stuff then games in school anyways.And things can only get better by asking, so why not give it a try. |

i would ask b/c 1) we dont know your school or its rules. 2) its always better to make an informed decision w/ the ppl in charge... if they originally say no you can always so something from one of my really really old games..
