Who still has those game keys? - Guild Wars Forums

Siirius Black · Feb 14, 2008, 05:21 AM // 05:21

I have been reading a lot of cases here where people had lost their account either because they where banned or because someone else hacked their account..

Anet usually asks for the keys to identify the real owner of the account. but
seriously, how many of you really have those keys handy
I have been playing guildwars for more than 2 years. The last additon was GWEN (I did not get a key for this one) And i'm sure that my keys are lost somewhere in my house. will probalby take me ages to find them if I needed them.

I registered my account with ncsoft, but that in itself is not a guarantee that identifies you as the real owner.

So what is one to do if you can't get those keys back.
Please indicate in your post if you have your keys handy or not.

I had mine lost for 30 months, I couldn't change my email login because of it. I found it last week when my house got robbed and they dragged it out from my pile of junk. Didn't even know I still had it. =P

Otherwise, yes..

kerpall · Feb 14, 2008, 07:28 AM // 07:28

Ummm.. i still got my boxes for all campaigns, been playing for 20 months. Except GW:en, but i got the email, and a printed copy with the rest of my keys :P.

Iuris · Feb 14, 2008, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Mine should still be in the boxes, in the second and third drawers in the closet. Er, I hope

Except for the EotN one, which is in an email...

kratimas · Feb 14, 2008, 08:27 AM // 08:27

Organization is your friend

I have a little book that I use to put all my games cd keys...

MaDDoG1221 · Feb 14, 2008, 08:45 AM // 08:45

I keep all my Cdkeys with their cases, Either make copys of them and tape them on the inside of it.

pkodyssey · Feb 14, 2008, 01:47 PM // 13:47

I know exactly where mine are. The only one I don't have is GWEN because I bought it on-line and did not print out the receipt. I figure if I can prove that I have 3 campaigns, 2 pre-releases, GOTY upgrade and 10 character slots they would be ok with not having my GWEN code.

Smile Like Umean It · Feb 14, 2008, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Every single one with everything that came in the box. All located within arm's reach at the bottom of my desk.

Fluffiliscious · Feb 14, 2008, 06:26 PM // 18:26

I keep my in the cases, as well. I'm hoping to never get hacked or banned mistakenly but you can never be certain that it won't happen to you. Sadly, if someone does hack my account, they're going to be sorely disappointed because I'm broke lol.

Horseman Of War · Feb 14, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

been playing since a month before GuildWars went retail...

still have my CE boxes for both Prof & NF, preorder dvds for NF and Factions, and everything that went along with them. I also still have my original prophecies pre-order (war pick... if i was smart I would have ordered a european preorder for the chromatic focus... actually if I was smart I would have gotten ALL of the preorders) Factions campaign and Gw:En I got from NCSoft Store/gw online store... so no clue there...

My second account, I do not have anything for.... although I can spawn the OG pumpkin hat and the Bone Idol preforder... but thats about it.

**cosyfiep** · Feb 14, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

yeah this packrat has them all----they are in the boxes they came in (except of course the ones bought online

which have no cases, in which ...uhm ..case, I have the email confirmation numbers etc). Have my set as well as my husbands. Not very hard to keep that information (when you think of all the other stuff we should keep for tax purposes etc). And if I look hard enough I could even find the receipt for the first one I bought 30 months ago! (though I have found many of my old receipts are fading----must make copies before all I have is a blank piece of paper with my signature on them)....heck I have my bank statements from 20 years ago still!
( I didnt pick the avatar JUST because I like it----it fits me very well)

If your receipts are thermal paper (which most retailers use now), you should be careful using a copying machine on them because the warmth from the light that scans them can make the whole receipt turn black.

King Sasuke · Feb 14, 2008, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Mine are in a Fire proof box ^.^
