Is it possible to be in/famous in this game?

Yeah, I mean like talk of the town in shout famous maybe like someone brings up your name and it starts an hour long conversation.

And for the infamous part, what's the worse you can do to a scammer? Add him to your friend/ignore list and shout out in town that he scammed you? Or can you actually get banned for scamming?

Nope, there's no GW player that's really famous. You can't get famous because of items, since they're way too limited anyway, and by just being in a good guild or owning in PvP you won't get famous either.

some guilds are well known but i can't say people really talk about a single players for a long time as it's such a team game.

"just" hold the hall for hours every day. you will get talked about a lot ^^

Lulu


.....

She's not famous, only by the "Guild Wars Guru Forum-addicts", which are about 250.

Maybe in your World...not in mine. I play a few hours everyday and have no clue as to who holds what, don't know who the #1 guild is...and I don't care. I'm a casual player so I really don't care about which guild is best or all that nonsense..this is just a computer game people. Maybe the "serious" gamers on GW will talk about it but people like me...nope.

I'm with Burakus... I played for over 1,000 hours since release and I couldn't name a guild if you put a gun to my head. I'd probably mumble something along the lines of: [cool noun] of [cool noun] and hope you bought the bluff.

plus GW doesnt ban

I'd say there is one player regarded as famous on GW: Power Of My Rangers.
This is only cos he often had HoH for europe or america and you recognise it when it says Power of my rangers team has won a battle blavlabla

He's just one in a long line of PUG leaders who've come and will probably go. Monkey for meow is another, his ranger spike team held halls for a while last week using candy cane bows

Lulu's teams used to hold halls for insane stretches of time.

The game has millions (or at least hundreds of thousands) of players. People like to think they are, and forums only cater to a small fraction of the overall playerbase, so no. Quite a lot (ingame who don't spend time on forums) probably don't even know who Gaile Gray is let alone anyone else.

ha, that sounds like a cool guild. but same here, 900+ hours and I didn't even know about GvG ranking until observor mode was introduced, less I remember name of guilds, I couldn't even remember names i put on my own buddy list ...

I'm sure there are a few folks who *think* they are something special.

Legends in their own mind.

But no, GW is too big to have so called online celebrities. In some game communities some players will rise to the top (Fatal1ty, etc) if the game celebrates individual accomplishments, but GW is too team based.

There is someone on the European servers (won't name for forum reasons), who seems to have become quite well known. In the international districts at Christmas she and her friend gave away loads of 'gifts' for free...rubbish ones, like flowers and stuff, but loads of people crowded around hoping for something. She also talks as if she's immitating Gaile Gray/Frog in her kind of official, correct writing, and keeps saying she's the queen and other roleplaying-style stuff. She has become famous for really no reason because a load of dumb people think she's official/special.

<-- famous

sounds like she's full of herself.

but speaking of Gaile Gray/Frog, there's somebody famous, but of course the only approach in that direction is to gather a good resume and submitting it to Arenanet or PlayNC Co.

i know this isn't exactly what you ment but Gaile is kinda famous

then on the board here there's always Nef...

I think your Icon kinda makes you famous...I know I see it all the time...makes me smile

Power Of My Rangers? Never heard of him. Never saw the name Lulu in game either, and I do read the HOH lines quite alot. There are famous people in WOW though, but that's because every server has it's players that have everything, and are simply the best of the server, though, GW doesn't work with servers (which I love), so it's harder to get famous.

I've seen Lulu quite often but that was a while ago...mayb a month or two.
