Geting a new computer - Guild Wars Forums

Curlyfry · Apr 05, 2005, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Ya, im not getting a new computer, so this is a general question: If someone gets Guild Wars, and then later get a new computer, what happens? Will they need to get a new game, or will it just work like new, so it can easily be burned? Also, if your at a friends house and play Gw, can you still log-in with your account, or will they only be able to use their account on their own computer?

you can access your account anywhere with email and password

edit

you would need to install it though

All you need to play guild wars is the client - which you can download from the official site, and an acount that has been granted access to the game by having keys submitted from the game box. Which means if you get a new computer, you will still have that acount. You just need to re-install the client and use your same log-in name and password.

During the BWE I've been able to play with my account on my girlfriends computer without a hitch (as long as she wasn't using it), I just had to enter my e-mail address in the login screen. I'm assuming that two people cannot use the same account at the same time, so your friend would need his own copy of the game, including his account and unique game key.

You should play with your girlfriend and not with her computer, even if it was Guild Wars

Hook up your new computer and install GW while you still play GW on your old one.If possible connect to internet to download updates while still playing GW on old computer.Then log out from old computer and then log in with key code on new computer.Point is don't stop playing GW

Don't worry. Once you reinstall the software you will be able to resume normal play as long as you remember the information. (Namely the account name and whatnot)
