I am looking for some advice on the best way to do the following:

Both my 13 year old son and I have our own Guild Wars accounts.

My account is linked to my PlayNC account and to the PlayNC Store.

I want to buy GWEN and the pre-release pack at the online store for both of us so that we both get the bonus mission pack.

Obviously there is no problem in buying them for my account, but how do I buy from the store for my son???s account?

This is probably simple and I am probably worrying about nothing, but any advice would be appreciated.

As far as remember, you can add both to the same plaync master account

Both my accounts are not linked to PlayNC account, all i do is log in to my guild wars account and go to the in-game store link at the top right hand side. I make my chose of product and hit purchase, they ask my credit card info and that’s it.

Now that sounds almost too easy to be true!

Thanks for the tip. It should be simple then :-))

Sounds to good to be true because it is. If you have an account that is unlinked to PlayNC, the second you press the checkout button in the store, you are immediately brought to a screen that gives you three options:

1) create a new playNC account to link to

2) link to an existing playNC account

3) cancel

So, as has been stated elsewhere, you MUST link your gw account to a PlayNC account in order to make a purchase in the online store. (I literally just went through the steps of making a purchase on an unlinked account. A linked account will take you from the checkout button to asking for your credit card. Perhaps redant linked the accounts earlier and has since forgotten.)

Can separate GW accounts be linked to one master PlayNC account? I've not tried myself, but everything I've heard on the boards (aside from this thread) says no.

I'd suggest makeing a playNC account for your son, but his being 13 might get in the way of purchases, depending on where you live. The best solution might be to make a second PlayNC account in you name (with a different username/email address/password) and link your son's account to it.
