I don't think I am off topic in this forum...

I just started to play on my account again but still don't have Factions, NF, or GWEN. I figured to save money I could download all three games and then buy the CD keys "here". But idk about this.

It might be legit, might not.
I wouldn't risk it myself.

Or you can just buy it from the official guild wars site?

Oh, you mean Legit. As in is it legal to do this. Not sure if it is, but to me, I would rather pay for the game itself then to just pay someone to open a box and sell me the key code. You can find the games fairly cheap at Amazon.com in the new/used section. There are combination packs available that help to reduce the overall cost too.

Well, the thing is, I don't want to have to wait for the game to be shipped to me, and don't have enough money atm to buy all three from Direct2Drive.

If I buy a CD key from this place and it works, is there a chance that they could send an email to anet to get the CD key back?

Go Go Google. Discussion from MMORPG.com which includes the above site.

As I thought, the site is shady. Also, it is my belief the OP itself is not 'legit'.

Don't think so. But then there's the chance that it doesn't work...

Not much information here against the site.

Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. There are bargains to be had but there's a break point. Must be sensible.

It was a quick Google search.

Nice to see you're not a bot though

Still, I wouldn't buy from anyone but a company you can't get into legal wranglings with easily (such as Amazon or Game), but that's just me.

Why is every email address on their site an image instead of text?

After several complaints about the site via the reporting function, I've removed the link.
I would like to point out, if you don't get the keys directly from Anet's in-game stores, you have to keep physical versions of the keys or some other form of evidence if you ever have trouble and need to recover your account through support.

Since the people with the physical key in this case are the ones who sold it to you, they're the only ones who can recover them through the support team - and they can do so without your permission and without having to recompensate you, unfortunately.

I would advise against purchasing from a store in that way without clear accountability, and even then, only if you don't think you'll ever need to recover your account.

but would u care if u lost ur gw account?

if u buy a key, u'll likely to be either:

1) scammed and out of an account
2) banned and out of an account


oh btw...u cant really buy "keys"
if someone is tryin to sell u a key...its prolly already used and its a scam

u can only buy "accounts"
and like a previous person mentioned
they can easily take back that account with no problem if they wanted to
