I'm thinking about purchasing a new computer and have a question about that regarding Guild Wars. I have both the Prophecies and Factions campaigns on CD and I purchased the Nightfall campaign through the online store.

If I get the new computer do I just have to install Prophecies and Faction on the new system and log in as usual and the Nightfall campaign will be there to use as well?

It's probably a simple thing but I just want to make sure that all three campaigns will be available on the new system.

P.S. I got the key to Prophecies on the inside of the jewel case but can't find the one for Factions. I have all the packaging but can't find it. Anyone know where it was placed for Factions?

Yes; Nightfalls will still be there. Everything is tied online to your account in ArenaNet's database. You could move to Australia or the other side of the world to were ever you live now; log in; and it's all there.

Thanks Josh,

As I said I found the key for Prophcies in the jewel case but can't find the key for Factions. Someone told me it was on a separate piece of paper in the packaging and of course now I can't find it. Do I need the keys for both Prophecies and Factions? If I do it looks like I'm gonna have to buy another copy of Factions. Argh.

You don't need any keys.

Just download the Guild Wars client from the website and you can log in with your username (your e-mail) and password.

Hope that helps,

Thanks again for the help Josh.

If I read the info in that link correctly, all I have to do is download and run the client on my new system and I should be able to access my Guild Wars account and only need my user name and password that I use. No access keys are necessary for that.

Sorry to sound like a dummy. I just want to avoid any problems or hassles once I get the new computer.

yes, everything is tied to your account.

in fact, the game will download all the necessary content onto your computer, whether you have the CD-key for the content or not.
