Hall of Monuments
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
The Hall of Monuments is a location in the Far Shiverpeaks, part of the Eye of the North. It serves as a means to transfer player achievements from the original series to Guild Wars 2.[1] In the original series, players were able to display achievements, miniatures, prestige armours and prestige weapons in their Hall of Monuments. By "declaring an ancestor" using an in-game item[2] in Guild Wars 2, the player can link their two game accounts, granting them points based on their Guild Wars achievements.[3][verification requested] Points can be traded for rewards, and these can be claimed by any character on the account,[1] and as many times as wanted but cannot be traded between players.
The rewards are known to include titles, weapons, attire and miniatures.[4] These rewards are unique - there is no other way to get them. For this reason, their appeal will be mainly cosmetic; they will not give the player any huge advantages over other players.[5] It does not take a full hall to receive rewards.
New players to Guild Wars 2 will not be able to return to the original series and earn achievements for their Hall of Monuments.[6] The privilege is exclusively restricted to current players.
