Bear in mind, though, that this will entail running two instances of a graphically-demanding program - if you're running with minimal memory or an integrated graphics chipset, I'd forget it.

Couldn't agree more. If you don't have a very high spec machine and are planning to run more than one client consider turning off all graphics options and things to improve the performance. Multiple clients will use lots of RAM and plenty of processing power.

To throw in my own support for Guild Wars Multilauncher. It works incredibly well, doesn't require jumping through hoops every time there's an update, and isn't limited to 2 clients.

To speak to specs, another thing to keep in mind is that running GW in a window is more demanding on the machine than in full screen (due to the way the rendering works). It's possible to multi-client runs to Nicholas, for example, but experiment a bit before hand so you don't blow your computer up.

When using GWx2 you simply have to copy the GW.exe file from one folder to another after an update. Incredibly simple really. I've been using GWx2 for about 2 years and have never had a problem with it.
