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

Lord Iowerth
Well, the only name that I really truly remember ... and only because I see their name win in HoH periodically, and the name is so funny it just sticks:
"Alcoholic Muppets has won a battle in the hall of heroes ..."
Makes me laugh every time, and I usually forget to fight and end up dying in whatever area I happen to be in.

they made it so you cant pull the charr to the rez shrine, making the only way possible to lvl the charr by doing it manually...

The only famous person on the GW world is Gaile Gray. But she works for ANET so that doesnt really count. But she does actually play GW. And a VERY distant 2nd might be the dude that runs the GW podcast called GuildCast. His name is Shawn and his character is Walmart Special. But they arent famous for their superior gameplay or anything. BEcause of the nature of this game, and how many people are playing it, you really cant stand out for exceptional play or anything. It's not a fighting game or FPS.

I dont know anny famous persons sometimes i wish i whas Famous but that whill never happen ^^.
annyway people cant really be ''famous'' in guildwars if you look at the facts famous people are most of the time rich and are getting payed for his/her work. These PvPers and PvEers that think they are famous arent it because of the simple fact.
They dont get payed for it

Quoted for truth. Mainly on US servers ?

Kago and LuLu are about the most famous I know of in GW. They're so famous I know of them even though I'm in another realm...

Yeah, Kago is one of the most famous people I know. I know him for being afk a lot and having so many FoW armors for each of characters. @_@
HawkofStorms
Most of these people are famous on forums. People who read up on sites such as this know about Lulu, Lady Blue, Nef, Power (well, he does hold halls a lot so he might be an exception since so many people read those global messages), and Kago.
The "casual" gamer doesn't really know these people.

I'd say Kago is famous, but Power? Famous?
Nah.
What about Divine (ISellSigils)? LuLu, yes (and LuLu is a he, ok?)
With the advent of observer mode, the team gameplay and an individual's part in a team will make people more famous. Furthermore, GW has a lot to go in the development of PvP guilds. It's only been 8 months, and I think we'll be seeing the equivalent of, say, those sponsored CS clans like Team 3D that will make people more famous.
And there is "PvP-famous" and "PvE famous." I could name a huge list of PvPers who are famous/well known in PvP circles (like Kuntz for his work on GStats, or Ensign for his affinity for number crunching). And I barely know Kago, but a friend who hangs in Grotto 24/7 does.
Oh, and how could I forget Lara Valor?

No, what he means is that it is still possible to use the way that makes the leveling time alot shorter.

I played with him. also in some of these tomb runs. and people would literally drop from their guild just so LuLu's name would show up as the team. and he would play with "Lulu the monk" no matter if he was actually healing or not. or doing some other monking. (it was veery easy to be a healer back then. every team who had the slightest clue would target LuLu instantly. just drop some prot spells on him.)
anyway. the gwguru forum addicts (as you so kindly name them) are well over 250. and they are not the only ones who know about Lulu. trust me on that. i have met so many people talking about him ingame. more than 250. and i don't know how many on this site i have met.. but anyway. theres more than 250 who will instantly recognise the nickname "Lulu The Monk" i would guess closer to 25.000

Of that list I never heard of any of them, until I started on this forum. Ask yourselves the same, had you not come to a forum would you have known anyone indirectly? Probably not. Now, extrapolate that to the majority of existing players who do not visit forums typically, they won't know either. In that sense being famous/infamous isn't really possible.

I think people who care about such thinks underestimate how much of a completely forgettable non-event it is to many people, to see that line pass by that tells us who holds the hall of heroes. I can play all night and when I log off I won't be able tell you a single name, even if the same one came by many times in a row. It's background noise, my brain doesn't process this.

Lara Valor also...

Power Of My Ranger has rank 11 so the above point is irreleveant. I think power is quite famous for his amazing coordination in PUG spiker groups
