CD KEY and Leveling Questions - Guild Wars Forums

Xenotech · Apr 05, 2009, 07:05 AM // 07:05

Hey guys am back with last few set of questions. Plzz bear with me

Well first of all can i download all the versions of GW from the website instead of buying, and ain't it possible for me to just buy the CD KEY adn not the CDs??

And yeah If the max level limit is level 20 thn how will one get strong enough to compete others???

I mean as a person levels up thy get stats and get strong enough....without stats and so low level limit how is it possible??? And is it tht leveling up in this game is tough time, and it means tht getting to level 1 to 2 and so on takes months?? (as the level limit is too low)...

Thanks for helping me so much i Hope these are the final querries i have.

I have played WoW, Archlord, Rohan and many other MMO's but this one's completely diff

Thanking U,
Xeno

The concept of Guildwars is that the person that plays only weekends can keep up with the person who's been playing every day since the game was released. The strength of abilities of a player are not determined by his/her level, but by how they equip themselves (weapon and armor upgrades) and what skills they bring to battle (your build).

Yes, it is a very different game than WoW. One that requires little to no grinding to get far in the game.

Also, you can download the game client from the guildwars website and it will work for all campaigns. The game client is the same for all campaigns. You can also purchase an access key online through the in-game store.

In preactice, and depending on which chapter you start and how frequntly you play, you can get a new character to level 20 in a couple of days. They'll be about a 1/3 to 2/3 the way through the campaign's story arch, depending on which chapter you're playing, and with loads of quests still to complete, areas to explore, and challenges ahead

If you're looking for PVP, than you can make a character that starts at level 20

Your chartacter strength comes from the skills you learn, the weapon and armor modifiers you apply, and your skill in combining and using all that.
It doesn't come from how many more levels you can get than your opponant

You can download the game client from the official website. The game client will have all content for all chapters. You unlock access to each chapter specific locations through either purchacing the chapter in the in-game store, or by applying a campaign code from in the retail box.
Id recommend buying retail, as it's often cheaper than the in-game prices

The client you download does indeed include all three chapters and the expansion, yes. And yes, it's the access key code that you need to purchase. Each chapter you want to play you would need to buy a key for, and the content gets unlocked after you input the key.

If you buy a retail version of the game - the CD and everything - it comes with the access key for whichever chapter you bought. If you download the client, you can buy the keys from the GW store. You won't get a CD if you download the client, obviously, but you don't need a CD anyway. Just the key.

The game auto-updates when starting up, and downloads the info for new areas in the background as you play.

When you buy the game, it is the code that you are buying. The CD isn't needed since you can get the game client for free off the internet.

For future reference, that is how every single MMO works. You don't pay for the game, but for the ability to play it and have an account.
