Bought GW1 on Steam and need a little help getting started.

[Arkanthor.2307]

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum for this kind of topic.

 

I´ve been playing gw2 for a while and I bought gw1 Eye of the North and trilogy on the last sale. I´m aware that I can link both games accounts in order to recieve Hall of Monuments rewards. Once it is done I´ve seen that I´ll have to use gw2 credentials in order to to the access gw1 account.

 

I have the gw1 launcher installed and I´m on the account creation step and before I do it i´d like to be sure. Should I just create a new account and link them? If so, can (ot should) I use the same address I use on the gw2 account?(I´ve read somewhere that doing so would link both accounts directly) Or is there another procedure for this situation that I´m not aware of? I´ve visited FAQ and Steam discussions concerning the topic but I´d like to be sure what to do before I create the account. (I planned to follow these instructions but I wanted to be sure first : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=238445792****)

 

**TLDR:**I have a gw2 account and recenly I bought gw1 on steam and I am unsure how to proceed at the time of creating a gw1 account.

You should be able to just go to your accounts page and add the game keys to it.

If redeem a code doesn't work, you can add them to the game content page

Sadly, none of the keys seem to be recogniced by the system.

Digging more into it, it does look like they treat the game as separate systems at the onset. I suggest send support ticket in, cuz it seems really goofy to have to use 2 email addresses to make this work right.

When I used my email address that I used for GW2, the two accounts were automatically linked.

Thank you for your help guys. In the end i had to create a separate account and link them but now it works perfectly.

 

Now I only have to figure out how to play Rit correctly ;D .

It could be since you bought it on Steam, that steam itself has a different way of activating.

 

Both GW1 and 2 linked up as well for me, but i bought straight from Anet store.
