are chap2 chars allowed to go to chap1?

i was wondering for merged accounts of GW and GWF if the chap2 chars such as the assassin and ritualists be able to go to chap1 (tyria)? i know it was mentioned that your chp1 chars from GW can move freely between tyria and cantha if you have merged accounts, but does it work the other way?

say i make an assassin in chp2 in cantha, will i be able to move it freely back and forth between the two continents and have access to do quests and everything else in chp1 tyria??

if someone could clear that up for me, it'd be appreciated. thanks.

it was stated that they would have access to both parts if the accounts were merged.

i wonder if the 6 core professions will have chapter 2 asian looks if created in Cantha?

an asian necro/ele might be nice.

I think so. If you look at the Zaishen npcs/henchies and the screens that showed the new armor sets. those are some of the new faces/hairstyles that will probably be made available and more.

The thing that would be funny to see is, if you make an assass or rit in tyria presear and you end up being the only one of those prof. (ideally most factions ppl will create in cantha or ppl that dont have ch.2), you will get a lot of stares and pms probably. -new prof. /dance ftw!

(also, I think right now there are "asian-like" faces already in the core profs. the most noticeable is the warrior male's. I use it a lot when I reroll in pvp.lol. +Ive used 1 male and 1 female necro face that can be considered asian or "anime-style".)

If the accounts are merged (GW+GWF) then all characters can go everywhere.
If its just GWF you can only go to Cantha. Just GW, just Tyria.

but wouldnt that affect the gameplay of GW chap1? if new items and chars are brought over from cantha. besides, how awkward would it be to see a ritualist or assassin running around in tyria if you only have GW and not GWF

all the info and data is already in everyone's comp. since they stream data, everyone can see all the old/new stuff. yet to actually use/find/interact with the new content for ones own account, you need the specific key (gw /or factions)to unlock it for yourself.
(I guess you can also acquire faction items even if you only have ch.1, if a factions based charac trades you the items, but again, what would be the point of that if you dont have access in creating the new profs.anyways.)

they said items could be brought back and traded or sold to other people.

Nice Assasins and Rits can go UW and FoW

true that the as/rit can go to uw or fow, but maybe there just might be better places in factions that will just blow away uw/fow. Sure some may want the fow armor, if it will even be offered there, could be better places in factions that offers better looking armor then factions, but we'll see.

I don't think C1 one or C2 will have access to each others "Pre" part of the game but the rest of the game (post) if you own both will be able to access both.

Now how to get to certain areas say c2 to c1 not sure, assume there will be pre-reqs like C1 has ascension pre-req for c2.

Factions FAQ FTW

Maybe a forum mod could force people to view the Sticky info thread before people are allowed to post a new thread.

Watch for new shrines in the Factions questing areas. Just like in Chapter 1, I'm sure there will be new ways of getting to UW FoW and other bonus areas besides the ToA (But thats a good start)... Hint Hint... The Rift is vast anything is possible for the ascended ones...
