Hi, I have a question about the game trial and purchasing the game. I have a few friends that are going to give the game trial a try. If they purchase the game afterward, can they simply upgrade their account and keep their progress, or do they have to restart?

I know you generally get to keep progress in most MMOs, but I’d like to give them the correct answer. Please only answer if you know for sure. Thank you.

Yes, they can purchase from within the game and keep all they’ve attained. Alternately, they can add a serial code through the account management page — https://account.guildwars2.com/account — and be on their way to continued glory.
