Think of it like this your computer is a playstation 2 disk. Your memory card is in the building with Arena Net. Now unless ur wife is on a plane to the game server ur "save game" cant be deleted. Feel safe...but heaven help u if she figures out how to delete your carries from the log in screen *grin*

You'll have to sit through the long initial load periods again when going from one territory to the next.

One suggestion: Before joining a group to complete a mission, log into the mission and have it load up. I've been in groups where a single character doesn't appear for 1 - 2 minutes because this is their first time in the territory.

The game client has absolutely nothing to do with your account. All it does is let you access the game. The keys are what you use to create an account, and after that you never have to use them again (but keep them in case you need something from the support team).

All you need to do is download the client again and log in as you previously did. Don't need to mess with your old keys.

If you want to create a new account for your son, all you need to do is click on "Create New Account" on the login screen and put in the second set of keys (not the ones you used to create your own account). You do not need to install the game client again.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

Having this said.. you might realise u can log on to youre account on any gw client xD

Solas · Apr 11, 2008, 03:04 PM // 15:04

its more or less like your msn program.
you can login on your msn anywhere in the world as long as msn is instailled on that computer. same thing with Guildwars.
once Gw is instailed on a computer you can play GW on that computer providing you have an account.

yes like some of them said, just reinstall GW and use your usual log-in info, your account will always be there

you can actually install GW on any PC you want and use your log-in on any PC with GW installed on it. You just cant log in on more then 1 PC, if you do it simply disconnects the prior log in

Once you reinstall the client, you can force a full download by doing "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe" -image from a run command. It's a LONG download, but it will preinstall all the towns, outposts, areas, etc so you don't have that long load time when you enter a new area for the first time.

point: your account is forever stored on the anet servers, just redownload the client from the website.
