Installing Complete Collection Question - Guild Wars Forums

Aquilax · Dec 25, 2008, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Hey there,

I have GW Factions installed and I've just bought the complete collection box, now what will happen to my account with just factions installed? Will i have bought it for no reason? Or will I still have a key to use on another account to activate factions?

Thanks in advance,

Aquilax

You can just add the complete colection to the factions account and have all the 4 games in the same account.

yeah, but the thing is will i get something as compensation for the key I already have?

The Complete Collection has one access key for everything so cannot be split into separate campaigns. The Factions on your current account will not be touched. The install will just add the missing parts - Prophecies, Nightfall, EotN.

If you feel that you must have everything you paid for (the additional Factions) then you can set up a completely new account and start from scratch.

The other solution is to purchase Prophecies, Nightfall and EotN as separate components at the higher prices.

No, you get no reimbursement on your original key.

Nope. Your options are to either start a new account with the Complete Collection key and start over again, or add it to your current account so your chars can start venturing out of Factions and in essence losing your original key.

I would suggest just starting an entirely new account. You can transfer any and all funds from your old factions account to your new one. Or you could just use if on your already existing account because it is probably cheaper anways then buying them all seperately
