Will I keep my stuff when my buddy key runs out? - Guild Wars Forums

Talin_The_Medic · Oct 31, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

I got a buddy key from a friend.. and so far in the 10 hours (it's been a lot more.. like 20... not sure why it's not off) I've gotten 2 titles, capped an elite, and got 2 lvl 20 heroes

I'm getting nightfall in a few days, and I was wondering if I'll keep all this when I get it.

Will it be there when I install the whole game, or will I have to start all over again?

Answers will be greatly appreciated.... no one in game knows that I've talked to

I asked my friend about this, but he had already given the trial to his other friend =[.

He said that you get to keep the characters and items you made in the trial even if the time has expired. Just enter the full version key and all your stuff should still be there.

Might need someone to confirm, as i have not tested it myself.

Well thanks a lot for even giving me hope I will, I'd hate to restart my lightbringer title after killing all those elementals :P

And I'm playing my monk (I prolly won't ever start another char), so I wasn't worried about it.. I just want the skills and titles

You don't even have to install it. Just add the key to your account.

So if I buy it in the store..... I don't need to run all the install discs?

I just enter the key?

you already have it installed so just ADD (don't make a new one) the key to your account.

Correct

yeah, when you got the trial key, your computer had downloaded the full client, but the key only allowed you 10 hours of access time.

The funny thing is, I played almost 35 hours with the buddy key, before entering my retail key yesterday when I finally got my copy... Let's hope nothing drastic happens after the buddy key expires from the account after the 14 day period as it didn't disappear from the key list.
