Guild Wars login announcements

The following is a list of the current Guild Wars announcements, published via the login screen of the game client. See the archive for older announcements.

Event announcements
These are announcements for special weekends and other in-game events.

Bogus Videos and Security Concerns
Recently, scammers have posted two bogus videos on the internet to trick Guild Wars players into revealing account information. One video alleges to show players how to hack into Guild Wars, while the other offers early entry into the Guild Wars 2 beta. Both of these videos are directly linked to recent account thefts. Do not fall for these scams. Remember: never give your account password to anyone, and look legitimate information about the Guild Wars 2 (sic) on www.guildwars.com.

Generic announcements
''These are announcements pertaining to player accounts and Guild Wars in general. You will usually only see one of these announcements each time you log in.''

I Have a New Key
If you've just purchased a Guild Wars product, click on the 'Create Account or Add Access Key' link in the login dialog to add your new access key.

Account Security
Beware of a new scam where individuals or companies offer to place trades, sales, or contest prizes directly into a player's account. Remember: once someone has your username and password, your account is no longer secure. Do not share account info with anyone.

Reminder About Purchasing Gold Online
As a reminder, buying and selling gold or items for cash is prohibited. If you purchase in-game gold or items, your account will be suspended and the gold or items you purchased will be removed from your account. Please read our policy on real-money transactions for more details. www.guildwars.com/support/rmt/rmt-en.php
