New Guild Wars 1 and Linking

[notebene.3190]

I just got Guild Wars 1, and wanted to do whatever I needed to do to make sure I got it linked to my GW2 account?

 

I haven't created a GW1 account yet, do I need to do that first?

 

I bought it on Steam, is there anything about getting it there that changes how this works?

 

Edit: I went ahead and created a new account and use the same login name and password and added the two keys (3-pack + EotN) and when I went back to my account information in GW2, it seemed like it auto-linked. :)

Thanks for the info!! I was going to get GW1 too, it's nice to know that this method works for linking the accounts :)
