- Once a key is used it cannot be reused, and accounts can't be merged. - BeX

- Why not? Campaigns can be merged? -- Silverleaf

- Imagine if you bind a key code to one email address and create four characters, and buy a second key and use a different email address and create four characters. Both keys are considered used. If you ask ANet they will tell you they can't merge them. It would be a nightmare due to character slot limitations. And proving that an account is actually yours is complicated enough (I have heard of a case when a user needed a receipt for purchasing the game, a scan of the card with the key on it and photo id just to have the email address reset after he'd been hacked). It is in ANet's interest that they require a new key to be purchased, because you might have been given access to the second account because a friend stopped playing, which means they get no income from it. Plus anything less complicated for them is less work (and thus cheaper). - BeX 14:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second Acount
Exactly how does one go about obtaining a second account? Do they have to purchase a new Access Key from ArenaNet or something? --Jack Faros 18:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Here's a good question.
Lets say I install GW on my desktop. But Then I get a laptop. Can I install my GW on laptop and use my email address to play it on there of, or once its on desktop thats it?--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.248.20.234 (talk).
- You can install it on as many computers as you like. Since the game is account-based, your e-mail adress/password is what allows you to play.--Fighterdoken 05:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Is Account Sharing against the rules?
Just curious.--iRathur 01:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, account sharing is prohibited by the EULA (see section 4a). Freedom Bound 16:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] getting a new account
I want to get the triligy pack, but I dont knnow if I have to get a new account. And even if I were to, I dont know how or how much it is. So how much is the accounts? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:97.127.64.64 (talk).
- Well, if you have an existing account, you can add the trilogy key to the existing account. The only thing(s) that will be added to your account is (are) whatever you're missing (i.e. if you have Factions, you'll get the Prophecies and Nightfall campaigns added). OR, you can create a new account. But, if I understand the question correctly, the "account" itself is included in the price of the trilogy (assuming you're buying a new retail copy, account keys cannot be reused). Also, please sign your submissions by using four ~'s. Freedom Bound 16:34, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- The TRILOGY is $49.99. After you buy it you enter the key to start the account. If you already have an account and just dont have all 3 games Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall then you are better off getting the games seperate unless your goal is to start a new account.

[edit] New Idea...may be dumb so prepare yourselves...
We should be able to trade characters with each other =]--Bive 02:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- yea i think its dumb XD...only because if someone is rich and lazy they could just buy a lvl 20 char from some guy that spent 6 hours lvling it...make him alot of gold but takes the fun lvling aspect away...also there could be problems with leaving items on people
- Lol 6 hours to level a character to 20. Can get to 20 in factions in half that time. personn5
