Need help

from where i can download the guildwars client and whats the approximate size of the client?...im new to this games..so cud u help me out plz

download here:
http://guildwars.com/support/downloadclient/

mine is 3,728,356KB

Mine is closer to 4Gb... Might have to re-download >.>

Mine's 3.75 GB with about 20k files to DL.
I'll -image it sometime.

doesn't it download the bare minimum for the client that they offer from the website, and then you download the zones as you go? other wise the download would take all night.

Just so you know, you need a License Key (or whatever) to play GW, so if you don't have one, don't bother downloading it.

If you do have a License Key, download the client, then right-click the shortcut and put -image at the end of the command line. It downloads all the files you will ever need to load, which is nice.

Mine is 3,679,502 KB in size, even after -image. How do you guys get it so big?

By playing and not refreshing the .dat file for months, I suppose

And yeah, the -image thing is recommended, otherwise you have to wait between loading zones, and it will drive your party nuts

Hi, sorry if i can't help the OP but can you give a detailed steps on how to do the -image thing? Thanks!

A shortcut to GW should have the target field look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

Placing a -image will make it look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

But I just refreshed it not too long ago...

Could it be because the .dat file on my laptop is newer, since GW hasn't been on it for so long? So useless stuff like Amnoon Arena and stuff are gone?

No idea, actually

I did the -image thing when I installed GW on the comp, and it was about 3.5Gb. Then it just kept adding stuff.

There was a silent streaming update the other day that (supposedly) added the BMP, that was 31mb. My dat file is 3,714,546.
