Did you apply your access key to your account?

wire dawg · Jun 05, 2009, 09:52 AM // 09:52

by the looks of it when u used the code u used the trial code and not the game code

lol that is a trial account. you need to add a real access key to reactivate it.

I'd say on the white paper it says 'trial code' or 'friend code' or something.

Gently scrape the black stuff off of the credit card like game activiation card, there's an access key underneath.

If this is not the case, update your post with the information Fril Estelin asked, or contact Support.

Oh an BTW, what campaign did you buy? Only Guild Wars (Prophecies), Guild Wars Factions and Guild Wars Nightfall can be played stand alone. In case you bought Guild Wars Eye of the North, you'll need to buy one of those campaigns too, becasue EotN is an expansion, not a stand alone campaign.

Now that you mention it, the code is quite cryptic. I forgot what an arduous and perplexing task it was to install Guild Wars back when I first bought it. NCsoft are quite crafty... I mean, they may as well have replaced the frail, foil-like material with some form of impenetrable masking. God forbid being user-friendly. What a cruel, cruel world.

Alright I'm sorry, that was mean.

I'm happy you managed to get it working, hope you enjoy the game.

You've been playing since 05 and didnt have it printed clearly on the back of your cd case thing? That can't of been just me :s.

moriz · Jun 05, 2009, 08:32 PM // 20:32

well, considering that little peace of paper with the code is the ONLY valuable thing that anet can sell... i'd make it as secure as possible also.
