hi. can anyone tell me how long you can be off line without losing your characters.due to moving abroad and back, computer vanishing and finding again ive not played for about a year and im worried bout losing my characters.can anyone help?

Your characters stay there forever.

thanks savio. hell of a relief.

I'm sure that there are a lot of players that haven't played the thing from when it came out and they still have their accounts valid.

Oh and by the way how do you think the gw.com means "over a million players worldwide"? Simple - a million of them offline and the "over" bit playing

It's a very rare game company now days that has a policy set to delete inactive accounts, mainly because it's poor customer relations. Still some out there that do, but they are the minority.

I Got Guild Wars shortly after it was released but was deeply into WoW at the time so I only played for 4-5 levels in Pre-Sear. Over one year later I fired the game up again with no issues.

Then after another long break and after quitting WoW, I started back a few month ago.

The great thing about GW is that it doesn't have to eat up your life, you can leave it and come back without losing money on a monthly fee, etc.

EDIT: Why is this in the Guild Wiki section? o.O

As others have said, it doesn't matter how long your GW account is inactive, it won't be deleted.
