Concerning the original series, Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Hall of Monuments.

The Hall of Monuments is a means for players to transfer evidence of achievements for Guild Wars characters into Guild Wars 2. A player must have Guild Wars Eye of the North to access this feature. More details on the behaviour of the monument in Guild Wars is available on the Guild Wars Wiki Hall of Monuments page.

Hall of Monuments accomplishments will be sent to Guild Wars 2 by account. All Hall of Monuments accomplishments for any Guild Wars character on your account will be available to every Guild Wars 2 character on your account.

Hall of Monuments is designed to reward players currently playing the original Guild Wars games. Players new to Guild Wars 2 will not be able to later purchase Guild Wars to obtain the Hall of Monuments benefits. Jeff Strain stated in an interview with Ten Ton Hammer that "I can't imagine that we'll let somebody coming into Guild Wars six months after Guild Wars 2 ships and letting them have rights to all of the same opportunities our original players had." Players will be able to add to the Hall of Monuments in the original Guild Wars even after the release of Guild Wars 2, and any newly unlocked accomplishments will then be visible in Guild Wars 2.

It has been suggested that each monument statue will unlock something for the character in Guild Wars 2 which will not be able to be given away and will not offer any significant benefit over players new to Guild Wars. For example;

  • Monument of Fellowship - may grant special heroes or pets.
  • Monument of Devotion - may grant unique mini pets.
  • Monument of Honor - may grant special titles.
  • Monument of Valor - may grant special weapons.
  • Monument of Resilience - may grant unique armor sets.

A character in Guild Wars 2 will be able to physically access the hall and "walk out looking like a bad-ass."

Further information on how the hall will manifest and operate in Guild Wars 2 has not been disclosed. The hall will allow names to be reserved.
