After a long break (2 years or so) from Guildwars, I decided that I want to buy the last two expansions and the pvp skill packs associated with them. I just finished buying Eye of the North, but where do I download the content? I have used the installation disks for Factions and Prophicies.

Secondly, because of the purchase restrictions on the NSsoft store, I have to wait to buy the other things that I want. Does anyone know of any reputable online store where I can buy the codes for Nightfall and the pvp skill unlock packs?

Thanks,.

The content will download itself, just run the game an enjoy. Have you tried the ingame store for buying the campaigns rather than the NCsoft one (I assume you mean the website). Personally I've never heard of any restrictions.

.

Just enter the key code and all will be well...and download automagicaly

Mr. G · May 25, 2009, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Oh yes put in the code as well :P

Be sure to apply it yo uou existing account and not start a new one with it. Actually you can't start a new one with a GW:EN code. But still.

The skill unlock packs are only available through the online store or the NcSoft store, don't try to buy them anywhere else.

Also, try using the -image command line to download the remaining game files onto your computer. Do it overnight as it tends to take a while.

Be Warned that using the GW store can get your account banned.

There apears to be a bug as a number of people are getting banned and need to work hard to get there account back. everying on the players end is fine, but A-net ban the accounts for fraud.

so be warned.

If you buy it through steam not only do you get it a lot cheaper but the code is automatically added to your account for you, so no need to download or anything, just buy and play.

Thanks for all the heads up. I ended up buying the 2 skill packs I needed and GWEN from the online store. Lets hope my account doesn't get bugged and banned from using the online store.

Sorry to switch topic a bit, but is there anything that I need to do to access the new pve content for GWEN? A ship that takes me to an island or something?

You need to be on a character who's lvl 10 or higher and go to one of the major hub towns (Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, Kamadan). The game will alert you to take a quest from an NPC in the town (i.e. Len Calderon in Lion's Arch gives you 'What Lies Beneath'.) Do the given quest, and you'll end up in a location called Boreal Station, and there you have it.
