Hi everybody,

me and a friend are going to be stuck in a holiday house with internet connection and a pc with GW on it. I was wondering whether it is possible to connect a secondary mouse, keyboard and monitor to the PC so we can vanquish together, or that we'll have to play in turns?
I hope someone can help me with this,

I've seen a guide to playing more than one copy of GW at a time, perhaps it would be of use to you.

But with the search function disabled, I'm afraid I have no idea in which forum I've seen it...

Are you asking if the pc can run 2 GW.exe at the same time, on two monitors, one for each of you? Yeah it's possible to do so, according to the guide in Tech Q&A. Here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=70999

Make sure that pc is powerful enough to do that as well, not to mention you know what you're doing as well. I never try it and I have no need to, ever. My advice would be to bring a NDS or PSP if you really cant stay away from electronic entertainment.

One problem. A computer only takes input from one keyboard and one mouse. Computers don't recognize a second mouse or keyboard. You could run two games, but you couldn't play two games.

You would need to configure your system to take in 2 different inputs from 2 keyboards. 2 keyboards on 1 PC will only generate as one input. So, 2 keyboards = 1 keyboard without configuring.
