Silly question - Can I use my account on another PC?
Not sure if this is the right place for this question or not...sorry if it isn't..
I wanted to know is it against the rules or not allowed - to play on another PC with my account? My G/F has GWs on her PC, she has her own account. I have my own account on my own PC back home. I am staying at her place and would like to use her PC & play with my account - is it legal? is it allowed? I tried looking into the legal info on the guildwars website, but no luck didn't find info about that there...If anybody has an answer or has actually done it with 2 PCs, I would be happy they could reply.... Sorry if it's a silly qustion or if this isn't the right forum for this type of question... Cheers in advance for any reply. |

Yes. It is allowed. You can log into your account on any computer in the world.
If she already has the game client on her pc, then just type your account name and password on the login screen.

omgz dont do eeet you'll get banzor
...no really, you'll be fine. although in the TOA it's technically against the rules for "more than one person to use one account", i've never heard of anyone getting banned for such a thing and honestly don't think anyone would be unless you were doing something strange with it. just thought i'd throw that out there. |

You can log into your account from anywhere without any trouble - maybe you need to load some data that the other person hasn't installed yet but that's about it.
It's even possible to have your GW on a USB stick and make use of computers that won't let you install the client (school/university/work for example). |

Yes, a Guild Wars account is bound to an user, not to a machine. You are not allowed to share the account with other users, you are allowed to use it at multiple computers. (Limitation: One account can be logged in at a time)

Think of it sort of like your Guru Forums account - you can access GF from any computer that has a browser - it's your account name and password that matters.
