Yes you can
Your gw client got removed, but not your account(which is stored on gw servers)

You cna install the whole game and you will haev all items characters and weapons as you left them last time, as this is all stored on Anets computers.

What you will not have though im afraid is your friendslist and your templates for items or Skills

friends list is stored on your account on the server also. the only thing you'll be missing is templates and screenshots.

Yep when I bought a new comp to play UT3, all I did was reinstall GW, the game is still installed on old comp too, I think it's all about your keys.

Ps. Just for the record, GW gets much more playtime than UT3

most logical explanation, that this was not so accidentally. But ok, check whether folder guildwars is still there, and then u should be able to recover everything if it was properly uninstalled, as it should leave folder, screenshots and the like. Otherwise you will just miss screenies and templates.

If you purchased a second account, you would have just that, a second account. If you go to the GW web site, you can download a new client, no need to buy it. That's all you're getting on the disc anyway (and a new key).

You are missing the point, all you need to do is type in your old name and password, once you install the client, and you are in. No need to create a new account.

Just install and log in!! No need to acount keys.. the keys can only be used once!! I u want to add another campaign u can add the keys to the existing acount. Even if you got to campaigns it is enough to only install 1 since the entire game will be updated automaticly "login screen" or as you enter new areas on the new computer.

When you buy the game you pay for the account not the client (game software).

You can use either your disks or the downloadable client to install the game on any number of machines you like at no extra cost.

This allows you to visit a friends house for example and play gw on their machine.

As long as you have an accont, no matter what happens to your pc you do not need to buy another copy of the game.

also, if installing from the CD's you only need to use one of them to install all campaigns. the result of installing each CD is the same as installing uaing the downlaodable client. Installing from more than one of the CD's is a waste of time.

To prevent this sort of thing happening in the first place you should realy have seperate accounts for everyone who uses the machine. (preferably non administrator accounts for security).
