Moving Gold from GW1 to GW2

Hello
1st time poster long time player. I was reading in that recent issue of PC Gamer about the ability to move titles, weapons, and I think even pets from GW1 to GW2. But I haven't seen anything about moving Gold from GW1 to GW2. Has anyone heard anything or can link me to info on this matter? Will all Gold in GW1 stay in GW1? Gold IS the bottom line after all. So much so the only game re-set I XP'd was due to a marketing "glitch" that would have upset the games economy. For an issue this important I'm surprised I haven't seen anything from A-net/GW on the subject. Thanks for your help ~Peace~ Stepp

First, Welcome to the forums.

Pretty sure since Gold IS the bottom line...it will NOT be moving over. It would simply give people too big of an advantage when starting in the new game. And I believe they've addressed it at some point...can't remember where though.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't say you can transfer titles or weapons, but that you will get a title/weapon if you had GWEN.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It has been said that gold will not be transferred. Gaile has stated that and one of the other Devs has stated it in an interview.
Only thing that has been said for sure about the transfer of weapons. You can use the weapon you stored at the Hall of Monuments and able to use that weapon in GW2 to give you a slight edge at the beginning areas of GW2.
Titles,pets,mini pets,ect stored in the HoM are suppose to unlock titles,pets,mini pets,ect in GW2 that you can not otherwise get in GW2.

Yeah I think that's right...as you build your Hall of Monuments in GW:EN some of the titles you get will grant you rewards in GW2...including special weapons I believe.

if gold was transferable eBay gold sellers among others would get record sales.

Thank goodness this won't be the case...

I suspect that there will be an active market for GW1 gold once the HoM rewards become clear. There will be those trading GW2 gold/items for GW1 gold so that they can max GW1 titles.

The mechanics of this, of course, will be very *very* risky.

I suspect there'll be record sales of IG gold after GW2 is released and players start migrating over there.

No available transfers of gold or anything else have been confirmed to date. What has been stated is that through the Hall of Monuments you get to build in GW:EN, you can showcase a GW character's special items and titles. The titles will grant certain benefits in GW2. I believe the weapons, etc. will be for show only, but as the game is several years away, who knows what will happen.

When GW:EN comes out, we will learn what can go into a monument and then we get to wait for GW2 to find out what use it has.

BUT, there will definitely be no transfer of gold. That question has been answered several times by ANet with a resounding NO.

New game = New character. New characters means that you will start the game with nothing, the same as when you started GW.

There has been very little acual info on how the Hall of Monuments is going to work, but I believe they stated, quite clearly, that you canNOT directly transfer over anything. Instead, your acomplishments in Guild Wars will unlock exclusive content of some sort for Guild Wars 2, and your Guild Wars character names will be reserved for Guild Wars 2.

Na I'm betting money wont move over
Also I don't want it to go over. . . I can start again equal with all the dam rich people and try to beat them this time
No offense to rich people -.-" nothing wrong with being rich :P

Gaile actually said that nothing will be transferred over, except things that you can show via the Hall of Monuments.

My own personal opinion, so that you dont get the whiners and the people bitching because "Tom Jones" has something that they dont, NOTHING should get moved over except your character name if you so choose to keep it.

Yeah I agree Yichi, it's a whole new game, no point starting with things you already did. Name only would be good.

Something that could be done:

Convert your gold into expensive items in GW1 and then sell the items in GW2. Of course, this won't work if you're only allowed to transfer 1 or 2 items per character, or if something in GW2 makes the GW1 items worth less gold than in GW1.

Or if transfered item simply gets customized, making it untradeable but perfectly useable.

Transfering gold IMO is something we dont want. It would be extremely unfair on new players and existing poor players.

We dont want to carry over the existing rift between poor and rich into the new game. Atleast not for a few months. Its also unfair because we cant have one new player starting with 1 million gold, while other new players have absolutely nothing.

Thats like punishing those players who didnt own GW1, or those players who didnt spend hours farming in GW1.

Its a new game, and we should all start on equal terms. I appreciate that alot of people have worked hard for their gold in GW1, but its an entirely new game.

Heh a whole new game, gotta start funding when Gw2 comes out o.O

*Gotta dig up a hole and put all the money inside and hope that my character 200 years later can find it and dig it up.*

They stated that gw2 will be a clean state game, so, there should not be imbalance in early game.

Just wait for gw:en to come out and all the mysteries will be solved.
