I have a guild wars account belive it or not
i have prophecies and EtoN

so i was planning on purchesing Nightfall because i want more heroes lol

i found
http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3250...l/Product.html
it seemed a good deal so i favorited it to order another time.
its £17.99
but then i found this
http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/6279...n/Product.html
Guild Wars: The Complete Collection
it would give me nightfall and all the other stuff for only 24 pounds =O
so i decided to favorite that over the other one

but i dont know if it gives me different keys
eg
can i upgrade my current account to this one when i get it?
so then it will have the whole kaboodle

on the guild wars store nightfall is 29.99 which seems a total ripp off lol

so before i buy i want to know if it would work

also would i be able to give the EtoN and Prophecies keys away in the pack cos i wouldnt need em lol =P

i read somewhere that people have multi accounts
is that allowed?

people got banned for trading between their accounts because they were flagged for possible real money trading (this happens when you trade a lot for nothing). anet (or ncsoft idk) have no way of knowing if two accounts are owned by the same person.
i don't really know anything about the complete collection but i'd assume it comes with the client and a key for each of the campaigns and eotn.

Since it's not out yet we can't precicely say exactly how the The Complete Collection is going to ship, whether it's one key for all 3 chapters and EotN, or separate keys for each. However there should be no problem adding The Complete Collection to your existing account and having the lot if it is a combined key

And yes the games in the in-game store are a rip off, particularly since you don't get the game disks or associated literature of the cheaper boxed versions

No, some people report that they were banned after trading large sums between their accounts - who knows if that's why they were banned or not. some get their accounts back, and I imagine if you can prove ownership of both accounts (ie have both sets of keys) then you'll get your account back. I suspect for a lot of them, that's not really the reason they were banned.

As for your original question, if you have an account and add keys to it, no matter what the keys are, it'll add the extra content to your account (that is, if you have for instance factions, and you add the key for the factions collectors edition, it'll add the extra dances and the mini but not delete your characters or anything)

sence noone has answered your question i will!!!

if you get the complete collection it has ever game in it so all the following is true

there will be only 1 key code in the box
if you add that key code to your aqccount it will add every game you are missing,and will not erase anything at all.
also to note that if you dont have colleters of the frist game, it will update that game top game of the year,

so in the long run YES ITS ONLY ONE KEY CODE, and YES YOU CAN ADD IT TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND WILL ONLY GAIN WHAT YOU DONT HAVE.

and the lat thing you will not be able to transfer any thign from one accoutn to another , exceot of items and gold(whih they can see as botting), but your toons have to stay on what ever account you made them on.
also you will need to have a second email adress for second account

all in all its only one key so your second acount thought whont happen

No, you can not transfer characters from one account to another.

But we honestly do not know whether the Complete Collection will come with just one key or with 4. If it comes as just one key, then adding it to your current account will, in essence, void your original keys, but still allow you to use your characters. Or you can create a new account and start with new characters.

And yes, you can have multiple accounts, as many as you can afford. Folks talking about being banned are just by accident. They get their accounts back quick enough, you just don't see them making threads about that.

Its not known whether its 1 key or 4, you shouldnt be so rash in your judgements.

as for the cost of things in the online store, that is the recommended sale price to stores that NCSoft has set and thus it has to be that in the in game store. I don't know if they are allowed to have a "sale" for stuff for like a weekend, though i think so since I think they did so around Christmas. When NCSoft lowers the recommended sale price it will be reflected in the store.

it might be similar to how the bundled games are now (ie Proph+Factions, Proph+EotN combos). for the people who bought those, did it have two keys in it or a single key that activated both games?

the proph and factions bundle also only had one key. the complete edition will probably also only have one key code.
