Two accounts on one console?

Hello. My son and I have recently started playing GW2 on our Xbox in split screen together. One signed under the account that owns the game and another under a guest account. We have started to get some of our characters to the level where they have to be upgraded in the trophy room (level 10?).

Understandably the guest account does not have access to their own trophy room for those upgrades. Can I fix this by purchasing GW2 again under the guest account? I am hoping that I could then occasionally use the guest account as the primary login and then upgrade those characters?

Thanks!!

  • Make certain the other player is logged in on an actual EA account that has been connected to their xbox profile.  If they are joining as "guest" then they will not be saving any progress.  You guessed correctly; for the other player to access various things like the sticker book and leveling up, they need to log in to GW2 by themselves, so that they will be in their own backyard.  Let me know if you need any more clarification.

    If I understand correctly, you need a second xbox profile. I have only ONE copy of GW2 and my sons have a profile for each of them. They can play and they obtain and upgrade their plants independently of each other. Not sure if you can transfer the progress of "Guest" to a profile

  • The above info is correct. Side note: if you have any purchased or deluxe upgrades on your current account, they will transfer to your new account as well.
