When GW2 is released...

What will you do with your character and your stuff when GW2 is released?
Will you continue to play the old campaigns or will you throw it all away for the new system?
As for now, I've heard you can only migrate your name, some titles and some items to the from GW to GW2 through the Hall Of Monuments for those who have GW:EN only.

I wasn't going to buy GW:EN but I think I just might have to now :/
I think it really sucks that I won't be able to migrate things like money and good weapons ...

anyway, what do you think? what are you going to do?

It's just a game. And your weapons, titles, armor, minis (when you add it to your HoM) will give you something in return when GW2 is released.

i know some people who have a lot of hours in Guild Wars and their not to happy about loosing there prized possesions.

It is kinda lame how you cannot add your perfect unconditional weapon to your hall of monument, lame destroyer weapons. *Insert laughter here*

i think most ppl will sell off stuff to get stuff to put in their hall of monuments, people will buy all the elite sets, minipets, destroyer weaps. there might be some last minute title whoring too. i can see a lot of people buying ale for 200 each from the store. WAIT, just thought of something, after GW2 comes out, will you STILL be able to put stuff in your hall of monuments effectivley transfering it to your GW2 account?

i honestly dont care about starting over i mean think about it you only got to lvl 20 and you went through the storyline!
so in gw2 get to lvl 20 and then you wont feel like you've started over as long as you dont lvl up anymore lol

Games end. They always do. I'll be moving on to GW2 if I'm there, making a new character and not looking back to GW.

GW 1 = Game Over

GW 2 = New game =]

I don't think I really care, it's not that I lose my GW1 account, I can play on it whenever I want

if you could move all your loot to GW2, would you really be happy? You would turn it into a continuation of the same. sometimes a fresh start is just what these things need. If you truly cannot bring yourself to make the change... GW servers will still be running. You can go get a dose of nostalgia if you want to.

Until at least my Main Character is not GWAMM and has a Complete Hall of Monuments and all PvP Titles so high, that they can be displayed at the HoM, I won't go to GW2

Alone this fact makes this multi character unfriendly game a Hell Trip that takes ages to get done...

So unless Anet makes not finally with release of GW2 all those account based changes, to make out of this game again a multi character friendly game, I believe, very much people will keep playing GW1 for a looooooooooong time...

It all depends on how good GW2 will be.
I will most likely move over to GW2 and leave GW1 behind.
To be honest, I'm a relativist. Everything is relative, even whether I'll choose to move on or not.

You're assuming what actually can be transferred into GW2 as a result of completing all of that actually is worthwhile for the time. I am not. Sounds much to me like collector's editions things and I am not playing 100s upon 100s of hours just to gain that in GW2. Transferring my character name, or possibly a couple, into GW2 and that's the end of it.

I played titles in GW simply to have something to play, since there isnt much else to do at a certain point, but the hours and hours of investment with the GW2 gain soley as the goal just isnt worth it to me.

This is why unlike everyone else I focus on one character maxing all possible titles until GW2 comes out to give myself the most availability in GW2 from my HoM

tbh i would prefer that noone could bring anything over to GW2 through HoM - it would therefore mean fresh start for everyone, everyone would be equal, no like "you was noob in GW1, didn't have cash to buy all those mini pets/armors/etc". I really hope that HoM items won't have too much of effect on GW2!

anyway, i'll 100% move to GW2

They should make third birthday pets untradeable, to lock in the vets! (Dodges rotten tomatoes)


...

Well can't they have an age shrine?

Hours > EBay

When GW2 comes out I will be solely focused on just playing with the skills and making builds. I won't have time to remember GW. XD

I can't wait for GW2. The newness of starting your first GW1 char will be open again. It will probably be similar in many ways. It's the differences that will keep people playing, though. I'm looking forward to being level one again with starter armour and no money (I hope HoM won't effect this too much).

I have 10 level 20 chars who have been thorugh the campaigns. There is still a lot to do but it's starting to feel like grinding. Without GW2 I'd be looking for another game or heading into PvP for lenghty periods.

I doubt I'll play GW after GW2 comes out (as long as most guildies migrate as well). Playing a new game with the same people sounds great to me. WHy wouldn't you want something new?

I will probably leave to GW2 unless it continues ANet's current trend of crappiness (consumables, PvE skills).

However I will always love GW1, which I have played since 2005 and have so many fond memories of the new experiences and old days. I will probably still play GW1 from time to time to see how things have changed, and probably check out the holidays.

I have a feeling the HoM inheritance will be a huge ripoff, but it's still a plus, a symbol if your dedication to the first game, so I work on my HoM as well (but only on my main, which will be inherited by my GW2 main - all my other chars really have little to offer in the way of inheritance).

I don't think HoM will do anything other than supply people with the most common untradeable worthless items in the game. (Common because nearly everyone from GW is gonna have em. Especialy the EBayable ones.)

But yeah, I'm with you I can't wait to be a newbie with everyone else again. It's no fun going at it when everyone already knows what to do.

This is basically my POV as well. I probably won't play GW1 much after I get GW2 so I've been slowly filling up my HoM. I'm not going to try to have some massive garage sale of all my stuff so I can max my sweet title or anything because I would rather be able to see all my beloved items if and when I log into GW1.

Hopefully I'll reach all my major GW1/HoM goals by the time GW2 comes out, but if not I'll be SOL.

Moving on to GW2 ofcourse. GW1 was great but time for something new and better.
