Character

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

A character is the customised avatar of the player in the game. A character does not have a type in Guild Wars 2, as it did in Guild Wars, so can be used to enter both PvE and PvP. When entering PvP the character will be granted levels, items and skills by a currently unknown mechanism. A player can have more than one character in Guild Wars 2, but the number of character slots has not been announced.

[edit] Character advancement

It has been stated that the level cap could be 100 or even infinite.

[edit] Customization

It is known that the character will have a race. It has also been stated that a primary and secondary profession system will likely be used.

No information is available on the visual customization of a character.

[edit] Original Guild Wars characters

Guild Wars 2 is set 250 years after the original, therefore characters from Guild Wars cannot be ported to Guild Wars 2. The Hall of Monuments will allow recognition of some Guild Wars achievements in Guild Wars 2.
