Guild Wars on USB

[caboos [RAWR]]

OK i have researched this and have found that is plausible to put a whole copy of Guild Wars on a Flash Drive (Geek-Stick, Flash-Stick, ect.) as long as it has at least 4GB of space. Now i have a Flash Drive with 8GB of space. I have also found someone on GuildWarsGuru that has done this with a 8GB flash Drive also. Now first question how big is Guild Wars minus NightFall and also how would i go about putting Guild Wars on my Flash Drive.

Specs:
SanDisk 8GB Flash Drive

"I have personally done this. I have a copy of Guild Wars on an 8gb Kensington USB stick. I plug it into my laptop when I'm on the road at work and it plays OK. There is some initial lag when it starts up like the redraw when you just start up and choose your char and it puts you in an outpost but the screen lag goes away.

Make sure you have a USB 2.0 stick (the new ones should all be at least pumping out 10 mb/sec) and you have a USB 2.0 port. The Guild Wars directory is roughly 4 gb in size. I also have a copy of my templates stored.

...on a side note. I guess I shouldn't be saying that I play it when I'm at work...LOL"

hmm, i had some USB drives that had a program on it already, that would allow it to have programs on it that would work as your described. But I dont know how to do it on ones that do not come with such a set up.

Well as soon as i refind Flash Drive (which for all i know my comp ate it and it is located some where is Guild Wars) i will try just putting it on there.

Maby go into my computer/c-drive/programfiles. Copy the whole guildwars file, paste it into the flashdrive. usually removeable disk e-g-or f.
Do that and then disconnect your flash drive.
Restart your comp and try to start guildwars from the flashdrive

open my computer and go to the flashdrive e, g, or f
open it(double click)
go to the copy'd version of guildwars, open it go to the gme client, start it up.
It may take a little bit to start up. but it should work.

Do not copy and paste...it will corrupt files.

also the problem with flash drives is that they dont have certian software that enables fast gameplay...you might be able to run it at 1fps....

also, GW isn't downloaded by campaign, its all or nothing. Each "game" is already downloaded onto your computer wether you have it or not.
