I want to format my PC. I will reinstall Guild wars, but will I keep my characters ? Do I have to backup something ?

Thanks in advance !

Thanx a lot guys. I just wanted to make sure BEFORE I did anything wrong. I will now go ahead with my format & reinstall with a quiet mind.

If you don't want to have to re-download everything, grap your gw.dat file (may have to burn it to a dvd-rw) it's rather large.
