Second account?

I’ve had GW2 for a number of months now and my younger brother has shown interest in having his own account. I would rather not have him use new character slots on my account, as he would have access to my bank etc. and he’s known for messing around with my stuff.

I have a physical copy of the game, which came with a serial code. My question is this:

Will he need to buy a new copy of the game, or is there any way to purchase a serial code?

There probably isn’t, but I thought it would be worth asking before he went and bought his own copy. Either way, he will be activating a new account on a separate computer and under a new email address. It would be nice if we could cut the cost of a second game, though.

Thanks in advance c:

You do not need to purchase a boxed product, but you do need to purchase a unique, unused serial code. We cannot support games purchase through unauthorized third parties, so purchase from buy.guildwars2.com or from other vendors shown here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers/#UnitedStates-physical
