While the Steam release expanded the player base it has caused confusion and frustration with existing and returning players. The biggest issue has been with existing characters created on legacy accounts.
If you have an existing Guild Wars 2 account and would like to play the game using those characters you cannot use the Steam version. In addition, any expansion you may have purchased previously will not be available to you through Steam without purchasing them again. Essentially, the Steam version forces existing players to start over from the beginning.
However, all is not lost. Legacy players can simply continue using the launcher that is downloadable from the Guild Wars 2 website. Once logged into the servers it doesn’t matter if you used the Steam client or the legacy client to launch the game; all players can interact seamlessly in-game.

2 commentsHi All, I see that Guild Wars 2 is in R&D. Was if ever part of TAW in the past ????.
If it wasn't I'm surprised . I had played Guild Wars 2 for years and just recently started playing it again. It's one of the best mmorpgs out there with one of the best playerbase's also. The base original game is free to play with 3 more buyable expansions. The game is free to play otherwise. and easy for new players.
It was not @Meco, but this is a highlight from RD division and why not having Guild Wars 2 in.
