Can we start one so the devs and public can just look up one thread?
Anyways here is my question:
In GW, during the first BWE we were able to reserve names for the retail release.
Will having previous ownership allow us to preserve names from GW to GW2 since you have mentioned something about Hall of memories or something relating to our original GW characters.
Thanks in advance
Unofficial Guru GW2 question thread?

Here's how I'm guessing it will work:
You complete EotN and then you can deposit your name, experience points, and titles in the Hall of Monuments.
You then buy GW2 and at the beginning you go to the Hall of Monuments and try to pick up your stuff. The guard will say "You!? A Vanquishing hero? I think not, prove yourself by getting to lvl20, and I'll give you access to the Hall of Monuments".
(Anet want us to play through the beginning of the game so people aren't high level immediately - give the new players a chance to keep up)
Then when you arrive at lvl20 you go back and the guard says "Sorry, my mistake", he then salutes you and opens the door. You visit your statue and transfer your stuff, and the experience points get appended to the experience points you earned getting to lvl20.
That's just how I saw it working, I haven’t read the PC Gamer article, it might explain it all there for all I know.

I am hoping by "deposit" we don't lose them on our current character.

Questions:
1. Is it true from reading that we can take our minipets into GW2?
2. Is there a level that, beyond which, any increases are cosmetic or does every level actually impact ones PvE strength? For example... is a level 20 equal in PvE strength to a level 100 or does a level 100 have more PvE "power" than a level 99.

minipets? where did you hear that? that should be interesting as i have loads of minipigs and a few others
I do hope this hall of monuments lets you do more than titles. Maybe use your characters as your companions?
I dont recon the'll stop GW1 servers anyway becuase how will we get more titles onto our characters if we don't have access to the game? If they do plan shutting down, i would like to have a total XP from all characters which you can spend on things

There was a blurb about the Hall that mentioned them... I'd like confirmation.

Will GW2 have:
1)Mounts
2)Tradeskills (mining,herbalist, etc)
3)Barbershop/stylist
That is all i can think of for now

About the partial "transfers" from GWEN to GW2: Will we be able to port our rank/fame? Some of us have invested a lot of time in that. This seems like a pretty disappointing way to lose all that work.

From what Ive read so far, EOTN is only going to have 100 skills that actually matter in PvP, and everything else is going to be a PvE thing. Is this true ? Will eye of the north shuffle pvp players off to the side ?
Im just wondering if anyone has heard anything about eotn pvp, because it sounds like pvp'ers are getting the short end of the stick with this one.

With the introduction of a persistent, non-instanced world, will map travel be removed from the game?

This question is for ANET, NCSOFT and MMO Guru alike.
Will we receive any of the information (albeit in a different non copyright infringing form) contained in the magazine officially from ANET/NCSOFT staff?
Also when will the ban on talking about the new features of GW2 that have been discussed in the magazine (and will obviously be discussed by ANET and NCSOFT staff in the future) be lifted... This info is something many Guild Wars players will want to discuss and speculate on, such as playable classes etc.
Answering these questions will stop any more people such as myself being threatened with bans and suspensions on this forum in regards to talking about Guild Wars and any so called copyrighted information.

What EXACTLY is the Hall of Monuments?
This really affects whether I (and a bunch of my friends) will continue playing GW1 (or move to another game until GW2 comes out) and whether we will buy GW:EN at all. We are going to play another game for now until we know exactly what's going to happen - but would love to know if staying in GW1 and playing GW:EN is going to be worth our time.
Quite frankly, we don't mind at all if we can't bring any characters, gold, items, titles, experience, etc. over and we start GW2 completely fresh. Since you've let us know some data about GW2 and GW:EN, we just want enough information to make an informed decision on where to invest our gaming time and energy.
Thanks!

Is this announcement just a weird April's fool joke in an attempt at viral advertizing? I'm still hoping it is.
Or is massive raids with dozens of other level 666 bunny-looking characters really the future of GuildWars?

Then if there isn’t enough for everyone, it provides the motivation for fighting over them.

A question on class options for GW2
1 Will GW2 keep the existing 10 classes for GW2 or introduce new class concepts?
2 Will GW2 build upon existing class concepts, for example add one handed mace weapons or two manded Battle Axes for the Warrior?
3 Will GW2 have duel class concepts as GW1 did or will there be a revamp of the entire class structure?
4 Will some class options be "this race required" options? For example, "only Asuras can be Mesmers".

Yes, the level cap in GW2 will be raised/eliminated, but HOW?
ANet needs to be extremely careful how they go about doing this. If a WoW-type level grind system is used, it will ruin the game. So what's left? "Cosmetic levels" as some have suggested? If done poorly, that could ruin the game too.
The lvl20 cap is one of the three most sacred aspects of Guild Wars that make the game what it is (the other two being the 8 skill slots and the instanced world).
Needless to say, it saddens me to see at least two of those aspects destroyed in the sequel.
Which brings me to the second most important question about the make-up of Guild Wars 2:
Yes, GW2 will use a mix of instancing and persistence, but HOW? (and no, the provided example in PC Gamer does not answer this question)
Once again, if a WoW-type system is used, it will ruin the game. So what's left? How do you mix the two?
You see where I'm going with this. Messing with any of the three core aspects of Guild Wars is like playing with fire.

1) How much of the skills/attributes system we have now in GW will still be in place in GW2? (skill points, attribute points, 8 skills on a bar, etc etc)
2) Will GW2 still have our current GW professions? And if the professions are the same will they still work in the same concepts? (i.e. Paragon using shouts, Ritualist using spirits, Rangers using traps, pets etc etc)
3) Will the skills be completely new ones?
4) How will the change of being able to jump and swim affect combat? (i.e. jumping to dodge an arrow, presuming that you can jump high enough similar to strafing)
And just so you know, I hope most of it stays similar if not the same from GW.

I know that the images from the PC Gamer article cannot be scanned, but I was wondering if anyone who has seen them can say anything about the general art direction, and if we can expect the same level of Kick Ass we got from GW? I mean both environments as well as character models, but especially character models. That ANet actually "gets" what looks good in terms of animations/armor/physique has really made them stand apart in my eyes, and I'm hoping they won't abandon that philosophy in GW2.

From what I gather the Instances would be missions. And the Persistant could mean certain explorable areas.
I could be wrong however. My opinion is based on what GW is now and which would make sense in GW2.

How will character naming be, still 19 characters? still two words?

One improvement gripe with GW I have, that I would love to see improved upon, is the obvious changes in time when travelling between instances. When I go from one instance in broad daylight, into another instance set in the dead of night, the world feels somewhat disjoined. Will this be cleared up in GW2?

Id really laugh if it was an April Fools Joke since most of the GW2 features throw out what makes GW unique.
BUT If it is true: What is the point of having levels at all if there is no low cap? why races? WHY PERSISTENT? Why no more chapters, was expansions an idea to cut out pre-max level content?
The information just baffles me.

Probably pointless asking quests in all the confusion and excitement, but here's a few more:
In the article it mentions the introduction of Companions which work like Heroes in that you can customize them and their builds. But it mentions that you can only have one per person. So are they more like pets? Have heroes and henchies been phased out? If so, then how will people fill out their party if they play alone?

Folks, we're two years from release. Probably ANet haven't decided about most of the things that you're asking for. And even if they had, it's way too early to publish such details, because chances are things will be modified and fine-tuned until the release, and then people will whine about how ANet "broke promises".

Here a question I have.
I'm leader of a guild now I did not create the guild but I've been the leader for a long time now.
Anyway my question is about the Guild Name. I would like to use the same guild name that I'm using in GW1 will guild names be reserved or will it be an open name free for all?

This would hopefully make people play together, which imo is definatly needed.

Forcing people to play together would just mean less playing time for me. If I only have 30 minutes at one point, I can always take henchies. I sure can't waste the time getting a group and then leaving or going AFK in the middle of a mission. That screws everyone involved.
