I have been reading a lot of cases here where people had lost their account either because they where banned or because someone else hacked their account..
Anet usually asks for the keys to identify the real owner of the account. but
seriously, how many of you really have those keys handy
I have been playing guildwars for more than 2 years. The last additon was GWEN (I did not get a key for this one) And i'm sure that my keys are lost somewhere in my house. will probalby take me ages to find them if I needed them.
I registered my account with ncsoft, but that in itself is not a guarantee that identifies you as the real owner.
So what is one to do if you can't get those keys back.
Please indicate in your post if you have your keys handy or not.
Who still has those game keys?

I had mine lost for 30 months, I couldn't change my email login because of it. I found it last week when my house got robbed and they dragged it out from my pile of junk. Didn't even know I still had it. =P

Mine should still be in the boxes, in the second and third drawers in the closet. Er, I hope 
Except for the EotN one, which is in an email...

I keep all my Cdkeys with their cases, Either make copys of them and tape them on the inside of it.

I know exactly where mine are. The only one I don't have is GWEN because I bought it on-line and did not print out the receipt. I figure if I can prove that I have 3 campaigns, 2 pre-releases, GOTY upgrade and 10 character slots they would be ok with not having my GWEN code.
Smile Like Umean It
Every single one with everything that came in the box. All located within arm's reach at the bottom of my desk.

I keep my in the cases, as well. I'm hoping to never get hacked or banned mistakenly but you can never be certain that it won't happen to you. Sadly, if someone does hack my account, they're going to be sorely disappointed because I'm broke lol.
Horseman Of War
been playing since a month before GuildWars went retail...
still have my CE boxes for both Prof & NF, preorder dvds for NF and Factions, and everything that went along with them. I also still have my original prophecies pre-order (war pick... if i was smart I would have ordered a european preorder for the chromatic focus... actually if I was smart I would have gotten ALL of the preorders) Factions campaign and Gw:En I got from NCSoft Store/gw online store... so no clue there...
My second account, I do not have anything for.... although I can spawn the OG pumpkin hat and the Bone Idol preforder... but thats about it.

yeah this packrat has them all----they are in the boxes they came in (except of course the ones bought online 
which have no cases, in which ...uhm ..case, I have the email confirmation numbers etc). Have my set as well as my husbands. Not very hard to keep that information (when you think of all the other stuff we should keep for tax purposes etc). And if I look hard enough I could even find the receipt for the first one I bought 30 months ago! (though I have found many of my old receipts are fading----must make copies before all I have is a blank piece of paper with my signature on them)....heck I have my bank statements from 20 years ago still!
( I didnt pick the avatar JUST because I like it----it fits me very well)

AAAACCCKKKK!!!!!
oh well, guess its either black or blank...
Molock
I have all my game boxes stacked on a shelf with all the CD keys in the NF box.. =D
Its been 2 years and I still haven't lost them, thats surprising for a person like me who tends to misplace everything.

So, if you just write them down on paper to have the number ready to go then you should be OK. Again I have never had to send them in so, I don't know exactly what they ask for. (someone please correct me if I am wrong)
