webguy.7891 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have the base game and HoT and PoF. I'm trying to get my niece and her husband to play. I see you can download the game, I assume for free. Obviously that wouldn't include the two expansions. But if they download the game can we play together until the point where they'd need to buy the expansions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The restrictions are mostly qol and not having access to living stories or expansions. There are some key points over chat and mail thoughhttps://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230165307-Guild-Wars-2-Account-Types-Free-Core-HoT-PoFhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Account#Free_accountsUltimately yes you should be able to play together until Season 2 and Heart of Thorns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Just make sure they create their accounts in the same region as yours (NA or EU).And on the same server, if they will be interested in playing WvW eventually.Good luck.

webguy.7891 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thanks for the replies. We're old MMO players (well, I'm older than them but hey) so we'll definitely play on the same server. Keeping my fingers crossed that soon we'll have two more GW2 players. (And once they get started I'm sure they'll buy HoT and PoF.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well, now would be a good time to purchase the expansions, as they are currently 50% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ahh. I wasn't sure; I've heard both you can, and you can not (chose the initial Server). I am aware of the free transfer though, so it would only make sense that there is no choice of initial Server for P4F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't get to change servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I found this, which would indicate that choosing a Server at creation is available.Transferring to different worlds is unavailable, except through customer service. (Customer service will, as a one-time service, assist Play4Free players who initially chose the wrong server.)https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Account#Free_accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
