I had to reinstall Gw because i built a new computer.

I own prophecies, Nightfall, Factions, and EOTN

Do i have to reinstall all of them or just one, and all the areas will be playable since my profile has all the game keys?

You'll have access to all the material. However, any resources that you have not installed with the game will have to be downloaded.

Say you install prophecies CD: if your account has a nightfall key, you'll be able to go to Elona, BUT, any areas and so on will have to be downloaded by the game. Which will take a while.

No, for the last time...use search function as people have asked this already. The games are saved on the "account" and on the GW servers. Its basically attached to the email you registered to.

there is only one game client, no mater which campaign you have access to.

hmmm... i wonder how many times a question has to be asked before it's included in the faq sticky?

also, install it from the disk and then run it with -image. Just add -image in the desktop shortcut. That will load the whole game at once. It will take quite some time (maybe run it over night) but it's worth it.

I also suggest installing the game from one of the more recent CDs (NF or Eye) since those games were released later and therefore more info is on the CD (ie, you'd have to download less updates as more would be on the CD, so it would be faster).

Wouldn't those only include NF or EoTN though?
