Here’s how it currently works: Under [Your Name]\Documents\Guild Wars Gw2Dev folder, you’ll see that GW2 creates a Music folder next to the Screens folder (where screenshots go). All you need to do to get your external music collection playing in the game is to create a playlist of the appropriate name and type in this folder. You can enjoy the pvp and pve together aslong as you and your friend are on EU, you can join eachothers map instances by right clicking eachothers portrait in party and pressing join on map. You won't be able to do wvw together, although there's a system coming that will allow people in the same guild to be put together on the same team in wvw RoseofGilead.8907. No, that is not true. You get all the benefits, even if you're playing on a different region. However, you won't be able to play with them in wvw if you aren't on their home server. And I think you do miss out on being able to get the buffs and stuff if you don't have HoT, though. 352K subscribers in the Guildwars2 community. /r/GuildWars2 is the primary community for Guild Wars 2 on Reddit.

Yes, because they can help u in ur story instance and u can help them. Only in the expansions u can do the stories together and progress together. If u have a 5 man group of friends u can pretty much fight and do most events in the old and new maps. After so many years, I only play GW2 with friends now. Alternatively you can create a hard link between your steam gw2 and normal gw2 folder. This is the answer. Simple short cut wouldn't work, so had to use the mklink command to create a junction between the install folder and the steamapps/Common. Mklink /j "steamapps/common/Guild Wars 2" "s:/Guild Wars 2". 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.
