Is it possible to be in/famous in this game?
sun is in us
I saw Bill Brasky enter the ring as a Lvl 1 Ascended Pre-Searing Warrior with no Armor on while Free Sheets to the Wind on Dwarven Ale that he had squeezed from the Kidney of a Stone Summit Axe-Wielder. He had no teammates and no weapons, so he pulled off his own leg and beat the opposing monk to death with it, while simultaneously spitting in the Eyes of the opposing warrior, blinding him, who then proceeded to trip over the Mesmer knocking both to the ground and crushing the wittle purple guy. The Elementalist, shocked by the Fury of Bill Braskys' Ire, spontaneously combusted; all the while screaming for Bill to impregnate her. By this time, the warrior, who was brushing the Mesmer guts off him, tried to run, but Bill plucked out the eyes of the dead monk and hurled them through the back of the guy's fissure helm, knocking him stone cold.
It was all over in 6.3 seconds....
Here's to Bill Brasky!

People might get talked about for a few seconds in town, but i highly doubt any single player will be 'famous'. I agree with those who said holding the hall beacuse there are many names i remember from that, besides that I dont think so.

Hardest part of gaining infamy (or fame) is that caused by instanced playing. In WoW, you're seeing other players all the time even when you're out adventuring. Ignoring the popularity of the solo-farming builds, that means the chances of Avg Joe interacting with a soon to be famour person are fairly slim.
You gain more notice in Guildwars for forum posting then you do for playing. Thank god observer mode and the championships will help change that a little.

Number 2 "No. 1 (korean here)" of Team Uni has some dedicated fans in the pvp community for his unique ability to rambo as a warrior.

from a pvpers standpoint,
some names you may not know of...
heavy tengu armor "lvl 2 tengu lfg" but really he is well above r10.
also a former sB.
C V T former marvel superhero member, i cant stand this guy, but im sure some of us more active high rank pvpers know this guy. he was the proffesional spirit spammer.
Zao Yun.... perhaps one of the best pvp'ers guildwars has seen. he got his rank 9 during the spirit spamming days without joining or forming a spirit spam team. this guy tombed with 2 war/rangers (axe) , 2 emo smiters , 1 tainted/putrid necro and the usual 2 healers and 1 prot. that was his fancy.
btw, this guy is korean. ~ ive played with him many times back when he use to tomb.
teh bible.....also a former sB member, im sure this name rings a bell for all of you veteran pvpers.
as for pve, i have no clue really, the only tims i pve is.......
ill get back to you on that one.

so 896 would put you at rank 5.

I'm suprised Lady Blue Steel hasn't been mentioned more often. As far as PvE goes, she would probably be at the top as of today.
Ajantis
Heavy Tengu Armor = Ninja Pirate Purple?
As for LBS, only reason most of us even heard that name is because of this forum..

Well one name that just about everyone has heard of is Lady Blue Steel for her infamous running academy.

Maybe on american servers... If you go onto european ones and you ask if they know who LBS is, the only ones that do are the ones that visit guildwarsguru..

yo, power and pRp and monkey are going to get nerfed in a week or so. once ranger spike is gone, they are incapable of running anything else. they are kind of well known for being disliked. not because theyre bad people or anything, but because they run a build which takes little to no skill and run nothing but that constantly (kind of like iway, huh?).
anyway, i would say that the most famous person in guild wars is IAN BOYD. MASTER STRATEGIST.

LBS gets flamed a lot depending where she goes. Not all of the people can be from Guru, so she isn't only (in)famous from here. I was in ToA the other day and she was there. People were following her around saying some quite nasty things to her... she and I had a little chat about it- seems as though that happens a lot.

If it takes little skill why is it not many people are running it as effectively as they do? EP have faced people using pRp's build before and they flawlessed them. Yet with pRp they had the an incredible hard time. In fact they switched from their well known signature build to War Machine's build.
EP has been running the same build for months now.
WM runs and slight deviation of their signature build for months.
Some can argue that they have their style and others change with the metagame.
Your comments are illogical.

Why flame someone offering a service?
If you don't agree with her/his prices, don't take the service. LBS prices may be on the upper side of the runner market, because they are high quality (or so they say, never used runner services).

I think the only reason anyone would know aM is from when we ran 8 Wammos in gvg while the ladder was locked >.>
...since then though we remade the guild (for some reason we were listed as Euro so we had to fix it) so we gotta rank ourselves up again before you can watch more Wammo shannanigans.

I haven't heard...... Missy Monk Monk!
i'm sure that name rings a bell with most pvpers, and its not too hard to get as famous as her/him....just say: "Hi i'm [instert your name]" in local chat
say that as much as possible
for a few months....
then people will start talking about you

(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.)

Lots of good replies, but you are all forgetting someone.

Showed us how to unlock our runes in Riverside back when farming was OK by A.Net.

Just watched TE beat another good guild (ranked 16, the name of that guild is hard to remember) in the tourney. Peeps like Kuntz and Lulu and the rest of them really deserve their repuation as top PvP players, even if it was Xizzy really being responsible for all that...

Sissy Boys had their heyday of being famous and are still not forgotten
Power of My Ranger, Jenna Loves Yogi (Jenna Ranger?), Ian Boyd, Isaiah Cartwright, Lulu The Monk, Missy Monk Monk, pRp, EP, Kuntz, Te, Angry Businessmens, Marvel Superheroes, Ascalon Electric Company, Geo Stigma (one of the earliest Droknar Forge Runners), War Machine, IVEX, Fianna, Prav, Rifts, Kansas City Hot Steppers, The one who made the first documentary on Desert Griffon Farming and many more.
cant list them all here.
famous people in their own right.

Famous all over the game? Not many. I'd say God Antipowers comes close though as most people encounter him in Pre-searing. Famous to PvE forrumers though? I'd say theres a handful. Most of the regular posters on the forums are well known to even lurkers. Especially during the winter/halloween events/gailetalks. My guildies and I notice familiar names and always greet fellow forumers. I even have a guildmate who likes to make it a regular habit to poke Sai in the head whenever he sees him

LBS, LuLu, and Power of My Rangers are about all that come to my mind xP

MrBiggums
Yes I know you're mantra of morons thats why i put up your tag.
Wonder why pommeh haywires senk etc.. left the guild?
My guild doesnt run iway and none of our members do... do you even know my guild?
"but because they run a build which takes little to no skill and run nothing but that constantly (kind of like iway, huh?)."
he talked about a build with no skill(iway) yet he runs it constantly. Thats what I was pointing out.
Nice try
