{{Otheruses|Guild Wars 2 accounts|other uses|Account (disambiguation)}}
[[Account]]s are collections of [[character]]s associated with a single set of [[login screen|login]] credentials. All characters within an account share any account-wide unlocks, such as [[achievement]]s, [[mastery|masteries]], and [[mount]]s.

As of [[Game updates/2015-08-29|August 29, 2015]], all players can access the entire base (core) game for free.<ref>[https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/play-for-free-today/ Play for Free Today]</ref> To fully access [[expansion]] and [[Living World]] content, players must make a one-time purchase for the respective paid content upgrade. Different account types are also introduced, with free accounts having the most restrictions.

== Account creation ==
Players must create an account through either ArenaNet, Steam, or Epic Games Store. Each are completely separate accounts and not are linked to each other:
* Players must purchase all paid content upgrades using the same distribution platform as their account, i.e. Steam accounts must purchase all paid content upgrades through Steam.
* Paid content purchases made on a platform are not transferable to accounts created on a different platform, i.e. purchasing an expansion on Steam will not transfer over to an ArenaNet account.

=== Account types ===
All newly created accounts are free accounts by default, with the ability to upgrade to a full account. In order of decreasing access to content, the different account types are:
;Full

* Full, unrestricted access to all content (sans Living World content), after one-time purchases of all current expansions.
* Full, unrestricted access to any owned expansion and Living World content after their one-time purchase.

;Core

;Free

:<small><sup>1</sup> Non-ArenaNet accounts cannot purchase deluxe and ultimate editions of expansions outside of the game. However, all accounts that own the standard edition of an expansion can perform an in-game purchase of the corresponding deluxe edition upgrade for {{gem|2400}}.</small>
:<small><sup>2</sup></small>{{bug|The F2P limit on squad chat applies to all accounts even while having higher level characters}}

=== Upgrade ===
[[File:Free accounts prompt.jpg|thumb|Free accounts Upgrade prompt]]
An account can be upgraded to an expansion account by purchasing any expansion.

Accounts that redeemed an original ''Guild Wars 2'' or ''Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition'' serial code are upgraded to a ''Core Account''. Both are no longer purchasable, however Heroic Edition keys (occasionally issued during special promotions) are still redeemable only by ArenaNet accounts.

Expansions can be purchased by ArenaNet accounts:
# by clicking the upgrade prompt always visible in the upper-left corner of free accounts;
# by purchasing via the [https://www.guildwars2.com/en/shop/ official website shop] or an approved third-party retailer, and then logging into the [https://account.arena.net ArenaNet website] to redeem the serial code;
# by redeeming a serial code provided directly by ArenaNet (such as from special promotions).

Non-ArenaNet accounts are more limited in purchasing options:
# by clicking the upgrade prompt always visible in the upper-left corner of free accounts;
# by purchasing via [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284210/Guild_Wars_2/ Steam] for Steam accounts only;
# by purchasing via [https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/guild-wars-2-c4f2b3 Epic Games Store] for Epic Games accounts only.

=== Support ===
* ArenaNet accounts can create a [[support ticket]] or use the in-game [[support panel]] for account-related issues.
** If an account is compromised, then an [[Account Restoration]] can be requested.
* Non-ArenaNet accounts must contact their platform's support for issues with account access, management and store/wallet purchases. For in-game issues and in-game gem store purchases, contact the Guild Wars 2 support team.<ref name="Steam">[https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053416353-Steam-FAQ Steam FAQ]</ref><ref name="Epic">[https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/32407979498771-Epic-Games-FAQ Epic Games FAQ]</ref>

=== Linking a Guild Wars account ===
[[File:Guild Wars Reforged Game Purchase and Account Linking Flow Chart.png|thumb|Guild Wars Reforged account linking flowchart]]

This service is available in the Game Content section on the official [https://account.arena.net/ My Account] website.

Enter your original ''Guild Wars'' account name and password below to link your accounts. To calculate your achievements and rewards, visit the [https://hom.guildwars2.com/ Hall of Monuments].

* [[Guild]]s are associated with an entire account, with all character being members of the same guilds. Each character can choose to [[Guild#Representation|represent]] different guilds, and must each individually press the "represent" button to use certain guild perks. 

== Limitations ==
Certain limitations apply to all accounts depending on level and account age, with additional restrictions applying only to free accounts. 

=== Core accounts ===
Guild Wars 2 (core) accounts do not have access to [[expansion]] features. In particular, they are not able to use [[gliding]], [[skiff]]s, [[fishing]], or unlock [[mastery]] points in [[Central Tyria mastery tracks|central Tyria]]. They are not able to buy any expansion-related items in the [[Gem Store]] and [[Wizard's Vault]], but they can buy and use the items from other expansions on [[Trading Post]]. 

=== Character level requirement ===
Some content is restricted until at least one character on the account has reached the minimum [[level]] requirement, after which all characters in the account have access, regardless of level.

;Mail
Cannot compose [[mail]] until level 2, but may receive mail.

;User interface
{{verify|apparently icons aren't hidden anymore. PvP is confirmed to be so, others need to be checked}}
* [[Map#Map completion|Map completion]] icons on [[Map|World Map]] - hidden until level 2.
* [[File:PvP Menu Bar icon.png|20px|link=]] [[Structured PvP]] icon — hidden until level 3.

{{bug|Squad chat (and party chat in a squad) is locked on any character below level 32, no matter their account type and other character levels on the account. This limitation extends to Squad Broadcasts as well, and applies no matter if you are the commander of the squad or not.}}

;Game mechanics
[[Hero challenge]]s unlocked at level 11.

=== Time requirement ===
Some content is restricted until sufficient real-world time has passed. The timer starts once a code for an [[expansion]] or the core game gets applied to the account.

;Three day
* [[Currency Exchange]] in the [[Gem store]] after account creation to combat botting and scams.
* All deposits and withdrawals to the [[Guild Vault]] after joining a [[Guild]] for verified accounts. The time remaining is shown on the Guild Vault display and the entire vault is "grayed out". This timer is reset if you leave and rejoin a guild. It is not affected by either Guild Rank or Vault permissions.

;Five day
* The trading post limits (ability to buy or sell certain items) are removed 5 days after code application.
* Access to the [[Guild Vault]] regardless of Guild Rank will become available 5 days after code application.

;Seven day
There is a restriction of {{coin|5000000}} per week on the total amount any account may receive from a Guild Vault or via in-game mail. If this is exceeded using the Guild Vault then the "withdraw" button is "greyed out". If exceeded using in-game mail then when you hover over the "Take All" button", you may see:
{{quotation|In-game message|This would exceed the value allowed to be received by this account this week. Each account can only receive 5,000,000 coins per week through in-game mail or the Guild Vault. Please wait and try again later.}}

;First month
The first 30 days following creation, a new account is limited as follows:

* Amount of coin or item with assigned value that can be mailed. However, any amount can be received.
* Value of items ''both'' deposited into and withdrawn from a [[Guild Vault]].

The amount you are allowed increases by approximately one gold every 10 hours. The exact amount of the coin limit is determined by the level of the highest level character of the account. When this amount is exceeded, the error message that appears is:
{{quotation|In-game message|This transfer would exceed the total value of transfers allowed for new accounts. As you continue to play, your account will be allowed to transfer higher values. New account limits are necessary to protect your online experience from fraud and illegal trading. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.}}
{{anomaly|
* An unlimited amount of items that have no assigned value can be transferred by new accounts regardless of their price on the [[Trading Post]].
* Multiple small amounts of gold can be transferred by new accounts even though equivalent large, single transfers are blocked.}}
