JOHNNY.7364 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Hi, I have already bought the latest expansion for myself, but I would also like to buy it for a friend (He already has the full game + other expansions). If I buy the game again via https://buy.guildwars2.com/en-us/, will I obtain a cd-key that I can give to this person? Kind regards, Edited August 29, 2023 by JOHNNY.7364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) if you buy from the online store (not in-game) the expansion isn't automatically applied to your account, and will send a key to your mail. if you buy it from in-game, its automatically applied to your account and can't be gifted to someone else. please do beware that the person you gift it to technically didn't buy the game and may have issues with support.

willow.8209 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 also, I bought a gem card on Amazon that didn't work. So I find I can't assume that the third party thing will work even if it's a company people would expect to be reliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so gem cards dont work Inculpatus cedo.9234 From the Knowledge Base: Can I add gem codes to my Guild Wars 2 Steam account? No, gem card codes cannot be redeemed in-game (or on the site) for Guild Wars 2 accounts that were created on Steam. If this changes, the information will be updated here. You can hold onto the Gem Card, or give it back to the one who gifted it to you. https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053416353-Steam-FAQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNNY.7364 Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Side note: I just ordered it via buy.guildwars2.com and I got the key indeed. Was able to send it to my friend and he activated it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
