Account for Guild Wars 1

[Proxy.2308]

If I bought and started to play GW 1, would I be able to use the same account I already have to play GW 2, or do I have to create a new separate account for GW 1? Thanks.

Best is to use the same e-mail for both. Guild Wars 1 and 2 use unified account management via https://account.arena.net/login

Check there to upgrade your account. When you use the same account for both games then you can get bonus rewards and achievement points in GW2 for certain (Hall of Monuments) achievements in Guild Wars 1.

I think there is a way to link the two accounts if you use separate addresses, but, they are separate games and I can't think of any reason to not use the same account for both.

So I understand if I don't have any dedicated GW1 account yet I can simply use my ArenaNet (GW2) account to play?

OK. I've figured that out. Thx.
