This might be better suited to ask NCsoft customer service but I'm curious to know if it's possible to have - if anyone has tried it - multiple Guild Wars accounts tied to the same NCsoft Master account? and if so, can both be signed in at the same time? I would rather not have to create a new NCsoft Master account for convenience sake, so I'm curious to know if it's possible before I buy another copy.

Also, I understand you're not able to run 2 clients on the same machine without some kind of 3rd-party software or patch; what is ArenaNet's current policy on this? since that would be my only option at the time.

Thanks!

Yes it is possible. I have two clients on one NCSoft account. Yes you can login to both.

At time of writing ANet doesn't ban for any third party software that let's you use multiple clients. They don't support it, just make sure you use an authorised download. GWmultiLaunch is easy to use and works fine.

Thank you for the quick reply. When you mention "GWmultiLaunch" are you talking about the project found here or another specific multi-launch tool? Which do you use?

Thank you for your help

Yep, that's the one. There is a Guru thread on it here with a lot of information:

Only as long as you are using it for PvE. If they catch you using it in PvP, you will be banned as it is considered Match Manipulation.

Yeah I'm not much of a PvP person unless you consider FA and JQ but that's only on one character, so nothing to worry about there. I only plan to use the second account for added storage and trading anyway

I very much appreciate the responses, thanks!
