dear ncsoft,
i have the following question,
at this moment i own multiple account of the fantastic game Guildwars, because of the fact i have multiple accounts i have installed it on 2 pc's (1 account for my main characters and the other for storage), lately someone pointed me to a website where they have a file called: GWx2 ,(removed website link) what this file does is this: it lets you run 2 copys on 1 pc.
Now i have the following question, is the usage of this program illegal (i contacted the creator with the same question but he does not reply to it), i hope that you can give me an "yes, illegal" or "no, not illegal" answer because i want to make sure beforhand that its save to use and not get an suprisingly ban or something. if it isnt illegal i will be glad because then i dont have to run 60 steps up and down anymore :P (good for the health though).
Hope to see an reply very soon

The link in DJrDJ's post just links back to this thread. Is it possible to get the link? and could we get some proper feedback from anet on this? and could any of you computer geniuses check this program out to let us know if it is safe, please?
This would be great for me right now since I broke my laptop and can't shift things onto my mule account.

GWx2 is perfectly safe. I've been using it for a couple years now.
Feedback from Gaile is that Anet won't support it if you have problems, but it doesn't violate the EULA. I believe Gaile has stated that she uses it.

can you do something with virtual PC? i used it once to test a new windows version on my pc.
You might be able to install GW on a virtual PC and play while running GW on your normal operating system (might be tough on the performence but if you only want tot trade between accounts or rush yourself through lornar pass)

aah about the link putting you back to the topic, i think its hotlinking-protection.
(if you copy paste the link into the browseradress it will download normally)
but yes do a google search and the first one is the website you want

Alright I'm trying to use it and I made a copy of gw files to another. When they open one closes right away.. dose anyone know why maybe? thanks
DJrDJ
make 1 extra folder : copy the following files from the 1st to the 2nd
GW.exe and GW.dat (make sure its fully updated) and do not copy any other files (except maybe the "templates" folder)
after that open GWx2.exe and point out the 2 different folders in the program.
then it should run.
Note: if guildwars has an update the other copy wont work, you need the recopy paste from folder 1 to folder 2
(at this moment you need 2x 4,79 GB )

Hey It still seems to do the same thing, I did what you said like this.
http://img.waffleimages.com/968b6e17...Untitled-1.jpg
Any Idea why it would still be closing the second window down?

first thing i notice is the very small size of youre .dat file
perform an gw.exe -image to update fully.
then:
copy make a folder like this (not in youre current GW folder)
copy these 2 files only (the blue selected ones and watch my filesize)
paste it in the other folder
then you should have this as result when you start it
(3200x1200 dual screen setup)
perform an gw.exe -image to update fully.

I saw someone thing about a file that contains your campaign progress etc. but I cant seem to find the thread that it was on, I contained something about loosing your characters data when asked to uninstall then reinstall this certain file... I'm not so sure I want to download GWX2 after reading that. Anyone heard about this?

I can't find a single working link to GW2x.
I don't see the need for this secrecy - ArenaNet has stated they're OK with people running two instances of GW on the same computer provided they have two accounts. The only thing is that they do not provide support in case there are any technical difficulties.

Heh, that links back to this page too, Numa. Some arcane forum trickery at work, methinks. Copy and paste into address bar should work (same link as post #2, btw)

Totally off-topic, but here's an excellent rule for everyone out there:
If you're going to post a screenshot from your computer, make sure you don't have your porn files on your desktop. Way to go, YKKid.

Post #8 explains that and after clicking on the website the first time (before post 8 was even made) and having it come back to this thread my first thought was to mouse over the link, which is why I didn't understand why you couldn't get it.
As for the Google thing, I don't know. I used both links and they both loaded instantly for me.
