RicoZaid.4693 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Do I have to make a new Arena Net account?My friend won't buy it so I'd figure I'd start his addiction lol.
Loosmaster.8263 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 If I'm not mistaken, all you have to do is purchase them and give your friend the codes that are sent to you.
RicoZaid.4693 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 But I have to login to purchase, correct?
Loosmaster.8263 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 On the web site yes and the codes are sent to your registered Anet email address.Don't hold me to that, wait for someone else to verify. 1
videoboy.4162 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Lootmaster is correct. I bought my friend HoT when it came out and just sent him the code.Don't forget that the vanilla game is included with either expansion, so you don't need to buy it separately. 1
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I'm not sure one must log in to buy Guild Wars 2. I mean how does a new player purchase the game? Must new players create accounts before purchasing? That seems odd, but I don't really know how it works, as I'm not a new player.Edit: Well, I guess one must create an account to purchase the game. Seems a bit backward to me, but I'm sure ArenaNet knows best.
MiskoV.3856 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I bought both expansions to two of my friends.You need to log in. Buy the expansion pack and then just send them CD-keys for redeeming.They have to have a free GW2 account to redeem those CD-keys. 1
kosanovskiy.2861 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Does this still work if I want to gift a friend in EU and I'm in NA?
Danikat.8537 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 I can also confirm it works. My husbands account was set up using an American Collector's Edition key and he was able to create an account while in the UK and pick an EU server. There's no difference between NA and EU accounts except which server you choose, so there's no need for Anet to restrict it. (The Chinese version is entirely seperate, but it's also not possible to buy that outside of China and not possible to use the NA/EU servers in China, so there's no risk of buying the wrong one.) 1
Mungrul.9358 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Just make sure to do it through the website and not through the in-game store, otherwise you won't get the keys.
