Will they ban my account for account sharing if i install GW on another computer, and play on it?

Dr Strangelove · Oct 19, 2007, 04:40 PM // 16:40

No, I have the client installed on 4 different computers.

No, you can install GW on as many computers as you like, provided you only log in on 1 at a time.

No...I've been using my laptop and my desktop for a better portion of a year now and have had no issues.

Big_Iron · Oct 19, 2007, 04:42 PM // 16:42

I have it installed on my PC and a laptop (for mobile gaming).

Use one account at a time or buy two accounts and you should be fine.

You can only log on one computer on one account at a time

You can log on with two (or more) accounts with one computer, if you like. But you can't open the same account twice, using different characters.

Actually, if that happens, it will simply log your current character out of game. This happens to me a lot because I allow my son to use my account, and sometimes we don't check to see if the other is offline.

Copy the entire gw folder onto the new computer and run the gw exe it will connect to the server and set it all up.

I did that when I changed my hard disk so it should work on a new computer.
Fast too because the dat file was all there.

Everything in the game is stored online. You login to get all your character info from a server (thus why you have an e-mail address linked to your account, and not just a computer IP).

So no, you won't get in trouble. In fact, GW is designed specifically to allow this.
