I stopped playing Guild Wars a few months ago and moved onto other games (Crysis, Bioshock, TF2, Assassins Creed). I left about 350k and 35 ectos on my account. I was wondering if I should do anything with it?

1. Leave it
2. Buy stuff
a. Invest?
b. Deck out HoM?
3. Give to a friend (if I have any )
4. Run a competition
5. ???

Have I missed any news about HoM or anything significant?

Deck out Hall of Monuments first on one character (it's not like Destroyer Weapons cost much any more)...if you're planning to buy GW:2.

Then...with the remainder...run a competition.

If you wanna buy GW2: fill your HoM with hero armor, mini's, weapons, elite armor etc.

If not, and you like art, have some artist you like on Guru draw you a cool commission of your favourite character(s) for the amount you have. (or multiple artists).

If that's also not your thing, give it away to good friends or guildies you've played a lot with.

If you don't have those either... I'd be more than happy to take it all off your hands ^^

If you have absolutely no uses at all for that money, donate it to your HoM.

Deck out your HoM, set yourself up for the release of GW2, with the left overs have a give-away on the site. Let the prizes be unknown, but give random people a number, then put all the numbers in a hat and randomly select some out. Those people get prizes.

Ta-daa!

Well if your definately not going to play anymore I suggest giving it to the friends you have left. If you want to play a bit more buy some cool gear for your fav character. If you plan to try out gw2 you could allways buy some stuff for HoM

Fill your HoM... and don't forget to get some buy-able titles - every rank in KoaBD (up to 5) tarts up your HoM a little more. This may be purely cosmetic, or it might have some effect in GW2... who knows?

You earned the money, so spend it on yourself even if it's just for shiny cosmetic bling.

Edit: oops, you don't have so much cash that you can buy a title...

I would say, hold onto it. When you have played a game like gw for a long time, sometimes all it takes is a little break to realize that you really did enjoy the game, and then you would come back to an empty cupboard. So I would suggest holding onto it, at least for a little while to make sure you have infact kicked the habit. If then you have lost the urge to play gw, and dont play on decking out your HoM for GW2, then I would suggest finding some new players in Ascalon or Kamadan and hooking them up with some seed money, I remember when I first started playing the game, I was just dirt poor, and if someone like yourself hooked me up with money back then, it would have really made a huge difference. Either way good luck

Keep it in case you will come back or give away in a competition or some kind of lottery.

Convert it to pure gold (platinum) and keep it. You never know when you will be coming back.

Whatever you do, just don't give it to people who asked for it. There are billions of better things you can do with it.

Buy stuff or deck out the HoM (if you believe anything you get in GW2 will be worth the effort).

Give a little bit to friends who might need some money and keep the rest.
You will be happy to have some money once you decide to give GW another shot.

/agreed. Although I was given some in-game cash to start me off by a friend, he failed to explain how to spend it. Was kinda broke extremely fast :P
