Running two GW at once?

There is some contoversay about this, and with the IP logging that now happens are people who run two copies of GW on their computer at the same time (Ie for transfering items between accounts) and standing two monks in the same place with nice armor (Ie, Marhands) is that still.. ok? I know they are targeting gold sellers and stuff, but some of us still run two copies of GW at one time. for verious reasons.. its nothing diffrent then having two computers right next to each other on the same cable conneciton running at the same time for the transfer of goods between an account and a mule..

anyway, one time I thought that NC soft said awhile back that they where "Ok with it" as long as you dont find a way to run both chars on the same account at the same time..

Anyway this is ment to be a flameless thread.. gl I guess

lol

Two instances from the same IP should be acceptable.

For example, a family behind a router, each person with their own copy of GW, playing GW at the same time would appear to use the same IP. This would constitute a legitimate use of their software.

How Is It Possible To Run 2 Guildwars on one computer

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...ars-id1837.php


linky on how

I am that example when I am at home. Both my brother and I play GW, we have our own accounts and own computers but have the same IP since we are on the same router. So it would look like we have the same IP to anet.

I don't think it would matter.

A-Net said it's ok, you are doing nothing illegal now as you haven't been before by doing it, and they stated it was fine to do it.

Also what pwnd said, it would just look like a family is playing anyway.

Basically you just run the two games at your own risk, if you mess up your PC they are not responsible and they do not offer any support for such actions, so at your own risk.

Exactly what the quote says. If you break it, you're own fault.

yer lol...............................

Pfft... I'm sure I can follow simple instructions and figure this out.

Doh!

The link above is ok if you are comfortable using reg-edit but there is an easier and simpler way to run two copies of GW.


QUOTE=Ku Ku]Woah! Don't go bugging around with the inside of your pc if you dont know what your doing, there's a much easier way to get two clients up at once.

I use gwx2.41, its a programme that does it all for you and i can vouch for it being bug-free, so long as you get it from an offical site. All you need to do is create a copy of the guild wars folder in the same directory you have installed (so c\ programe files \guild wars copy) and whenever theres an update re-copy over the guildwars .dat file (otherwise it wont load the older version of guild wars)

Here is a link to the offical site: http://gwx2.co.nr/[/QUOTE]

Meh. I just have GW installed on each system on my LAN. Much simpler. And great for raiding with guildies, when they all come over to my house.

Just use a tool managing your process and shutdown this handle in gw.exe while running

Mutant \BaseNamedObjects\AN-Mutex-Window-Guild Wars

you can start another GW (ofc with different path) without the use of a program or direct reg editing
make a bat/reg file to switch gw path each time

I use gwx2 to run two accounts on same computer. Didn't have any problem after the update.

It's installed on 3 outta the 4 computers we have home but as I'm NOT home with only one possible connection (ISP uses MacIP for their services ATM, supposed to change soon) and I don't have a router yet, this might come in handy when I want to transfer the stuff between my accounts =].

Many people in my block of apartments on the same fibre service share a single IP. The entire nation of Qatar has a single IP. It's partly why IP-based blocks are dangerous, and why I doubt Anet are going to use it willy nilly.

Even if u do get ur IP Banned there are several ways 2 change i do it for my friend all the time on Rune Scape he pisses off one of there GMs on accident

I've used GWx2 with XP for quite awhile to trade between a 2nd account and my permapres. Recently bought a laptop with Vista.

Nothing but problems now. GW runs fine (had to finally install with the -image option since it wouldn't accept the copies from my memory stick. Didn't like the dat file. And can't get GWx2 to work.

Has anyone gotten GWx2 to work with Vista? Or is there another way to get Vista to run the two copies?

Thanks

Solved the problem - there is a new app that lets you run as many copies as you have accounts and they don't have to all be launched at once.

See this thread:

GWx2 is way easier. Unless you want to run more than 2 cleints, which is highly unlikely.

do you know of a way to run 2 guild wars on vista?

i tried the way provided with regedit and process explorer. don't work..

anyone else have a working way of running 2 guild wars on vista?

Guild Wars Multi-Launch works in Vista.
