In the final cutscene of eotn' Ogdens Benediction' we can pretty much decide that this all happens at the same time otherwise that would be stupid, just jumping to different points in time(i have read some other posts where people think that it all happens in the far future and/or at different times).
Im just about to watch it in youtube to check hang on...
yeah so we see the player and the rest of the party walking off and then at the end of the cutscene(presumeably right after the great destroyer is killed) primordus opens an eye ans then the screen goes black and we hear primordus roaring/screeching. So it is quite possible that primordus wakes up and kills us!
HOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AY!
How we may die...

Yeah, seeing as how your player character is GW2 is going to be a descendant of your GW1 character, I doubt it.

The GW2 page on wiki states that the next game takes place 250 years after the events of EotN. (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/GW2 under setting)
As Katsumi states, GW2 is played through your descendant....meaning your offspring. You can't have children if you're dead.

BTW, I wonder how that will work for non-human characters?
Will half-breeds be possible? (eww half-Asura half-Charr!)

Hammers where never really used as far as I know, but swords, bows etc, where used for a LONG time before guns where feasible.
As for Winnie, the end scene already HAS to take part in different times, with the scenes with Pyre, Livia, ect having to happen a while after and all the lines about the future. Plus at no part does it even hint that he woke up at the same time we left the chamber, he awakes much later. Please stop making threads and disagreeing with everything ppl tell you.

And if the marketing department at Anet suddenly decides it needs more funding/ongoing interest in GW and releases another (mini)expansion? Oh wait, we killed them off already. o.O'

As for the new technology, they used bows, swords and axes for thousands of years before guns were invented. History is full of times where technology growth stagnated i.e. the dark ages.

Uncivilized military such as nomads and german barbarians, zulu, and Vikings favored hammers for their sheer weight and crushing capacity.. so i must correct you on that.. The reason Civilizid armies of Alexander the great and Roman armies did not used it because the weight of their bronze iron and steel armors didnt allow them to swing hammers manuverable.. On top of that the hammer vaiations were great durring the age of knights in full steel plate armor small little hammers were atached to pole-arms to litterarly crack the armor of the oponent....
If anything Hammers were use as much as swords were.. just by different military and Last time i chekced German barbarians over run Rome +)

I don't know about Primordus killing us, as Guild Wars 2 will be about our character's descendants. I hope you char reproduced before Primordus ate him. 
hehe
In all seriousness, I think your character dies however you want it to, like if you have a storyline going for your character. Or maybe it won't die, maybe your char has eternal life. It's all about your personal preference in my opinion, as these dragons don't actually tear up the world until 250 years later. Humans can't live that long unless they're immortal. So Primordus probably just opened his eye and can't move his body out of that giant rock for 250 years. Ouch, hope he isn't claustrophobic.

Speed of a horse + speed of a swing of a 2 handed or a 1 handed hammer is guarnteed kill if hit to the face, chest or abdominal area.. Movies suck at protrayng the devestation power of hammers.. They prefer swords due to mor ebludied scene.. id pic 1 handed hamme rover a sword... 1 crack on a helmet will stun the oponene next crat to the leg.. he on the knees 1 to the visot possible dent which results in it doing right into the face and a KO..
+ chainmail is strong against swords.. hammers its practically useless... Dont underestimate hammers dude +)

I wonder how the offspring of my female Canthan Necro could be a Charr! Bestiality!!!
I would like something more along the lines of an adventurer discovering the tomb of an ancient hero and taking his belongings, maybe even adapting his philosophy and beliefs.
Just like Conan falls into the tomb of an atlantean king in the Conan movie while running away from wolves.

Lexx Fluxx (Asuran), Ashpyre Smokeskin (Charr), Bjorn Ragnarok (Norn)...
(yeah, the names aren't too imaginative, sorry)
A character "reborn" as a Sylvari could have "imprints" of a former life, especially if you decide your character dies near the Sylvari Tree.
There are also tons of magical explanations to allow your character to "carry over": a Necro puts himself to sleep for 250 years, only to arise again, for example.
If Chronomancer is a class in GW2, that will make a simple explanation: Character "X" finds a spell that allows him to move through time, she emerges on the other side of a rift with new features and abilities...
You're only limited by your imagination, and, of course, how tied you are to the "official" lore.
EDIT:
Anyone who claims to be a Conan fan needs to read the original Robert E. Howard books. They are not perfect, but they are raw and powerful, and helped create the "sword & sorcery" genre to balance out the "high fantasy" of Tolkien.

I suppose you could be right, Winnie. However my take is that since Ogden says "In the years to come, new threats would arise in Tyria" and then starts showing cut scenes of Liva, Primordious, the Sylvari, and everyone else, those things happen in the future. Some of them in 5 years, some in 50, some in 200, there's no distinction. I would imagine that that scene with Primordious takes place at some point in the future.
I just don't see where the proof is or either argument, however I don't think it's plausible that the intention was that Primordious would wake up at that exact moment and kill us. If nothing else, if Arenanet had wanted that, we would have seen it. And there would be no epilogue where we get to hear the praise after defeating the Great Destroyer.

Ok, this is how it is going to happen. Shortly before the GW2 Beta there will be new content update for GW1 and new quests. These quests would be used to bridge GW1 and GW2 with cut scenes and all.
Many of your questions would be answered then.

This is how we die:
Sometime in the near future, some moron of an asura is going to get to screwing around with rez shrines, trying to make them work faster or something, and in the process short circuits the one he's working on. This causes a chain reaction that disables all of the rez shrines the world over. On top of that, the mystical energies that allow for all manner of resurrections is depleted, rendering all zoning, rez skills & signets useless.

This post does raise on interesting question. Since we are hundreds of years later by GW2, all our characters will have died. Perhaps we will see a gravestone of a few familiar names (heroes, important NPCs) or have quests based on GW1 mythology in GW2.
I'll die of old age in a small town in Kryta. Or... Zho will kill me after she finds out I'm cheating on her with a threesome with Cynn and Reyna. Either or.

Active thread around here somewhere aout speculation of death....

In addition to the Epilogue, Ogden speaks of new threats arising in Tyria and the children of the heroes will be called upon. Leads us to believe that GW2 will be our descendants, but I think it's up to you. If you want it to be an adventurer finding your GW1 char's tomb or something, go ahead. I find that kind of interesting. Reminds me of The Mummy.
HawkofStorms
Of course, "children of the legends/heroes" could be used in a strictly metaphorical way, as in "the next generation of people."
