[edit] Information (!)
Some information about multiple OGW accounts to one GW2 account from Gaile's talk page on gww:
- "The answer to the primary question, courtesy of James, is that the connection between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 accounts is actually character-to-character and not account-to-account. This means a person with multiple GW accounts will be able to link the characters from both accounts to characters on one GW2 account. In fact, that is one of the reasons that the Hall of Monuments is character-based."

- Sigh..I only have one stellar HoM, and about two O.K. ones. Calor (t) 19:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- No EotN here yet. The above provides only one bit of information, but leaves many other questions open. Character to Character strongly implies a "one to one" relationship to me. But it could just as easily be "one to many" or "many to one" couldn't it? --Aspectacle 21:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I believe Gaile said it was a many to one system. Lord Belar 22:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- You've got to give me a reference before I believe you. :P --Aspectacle 22:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll get around to it. Lord Belar 22:21, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nvm, it's one to one, but with no set linking, so you can chose which characters to link to which. Or at least that's what I'm inferring from "This means a person with multiple GW accounts will be able to link the characters from both accounts to characters on one GW2 account." Lord Belar 22:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'd asume it ment each character name you have "reserved" gains a link to the character its being reserved from. So Bob of GW2 would gain benefit's from Bobs Hall from GW1. That part about not being account based just means if you have Bob on one account and Jorge on a seperate account in GW1, both names can be added to your GW2 account.

Calor, don't feel bad, I have one mediocre HoM and a number of bad ones... -- Armond Warblade
08:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- ya my HoM its good lol i dont know how to get weapons in it....like what weapons are they the end game ones? but anyways thats going to be sweet to get special things--FrekyElf
- Unfortunately, only destroyer weapons. But hey...you're right...it is awesome and generous for GW1 to have an effect on GW2 rather than completely wiping it out (besides it still being supported when GW2 is released).Shewmake 02:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
So does this mean that once you use a GW1 character's HoM to buff a GW2 character, you can't use that HoM again? Or can you reuse it if, like me and some of the other people on this page, you really only have the one decent HoM? --MarinBloodbane 11:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Heya Marin, there really isn't any firm information available on this at the moment. I'm in a similar situation - one okay-ish HoM and several which'll probably do nothing more than reserve a name for me. So I only expect one gw2 character to get anything worth mentioning out of the HoM. --Aspectacle 21:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Regina said on her talk page on GWW that there will be a Dev update on the HoM out next week (week of June 16). Fingers crossed for some interesting information from that. --Aspectacle 00:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
A little bit more;
- The specifics have not been determined yet. Hall of Monuments achievements can be updated in GW2, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish in time for GW2 release. --Regina Buenaobra 18:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
In this edit on her talk page. I won't add it in because I hope we'll get more information later this week about HoM. --Aspectacle 23:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] About Minipets addet to HoM in GW1 vs. GW2
- → moved from Minipets
I heard many speculations about, what gonna happen to all the minipets we r adding in our HoM's in GW2 ..and many questions about what importens they r going to have in GW2
My question r ...if we add a pet in GW1 and want it to have any importens in GW2 ...do we need to keep it or can we(as most ppl) just sell them after they r addet to HoM?? Or if we sell it, is that gonna change anything about it in GW2?
PS. Im not sure if im doing this rigth, or writing this in the rigth context - If not, feel free to move it to the rigth place! Looses 11:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Feel free to sell them, although, their values will drop significantly after "dedicating" them to the HoM. Once you add a certain minipet to the HoM, no one else can add that same minipet, but nothing will happen to the dedicated minipet if you do sell it.
- You diddent get my point - I wanted to clerify the means in GW2, if i sell my pets here, in GW1! ..Does i have any conseqences ...my speculations is about the new team-companions in GW2(mentioned many times).
- If our Pet where ment to be our new team-m8-pet's in GW2, dont u think we r loosing this new companions in GW2, if we sell them now in GW1??!
- "nothing will happen to the dedicated minipet if you do sell it." Once you add a minipet...it's there no matter what...so the effect in Guild Wars 2 will be there no matter what.Shew 15:39, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CANT TRADE ITEMS!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
This sucks i wish we could trade the weapons or minipets (that we earn with our own time). I worked hard to get that stuff and now we can't trade them. It feels like they wont have no money value and are just there for show. I dont even see the point in HOM any more if your items wont be worth anything to anyone eles. What makes items "cool" is when there worth a lot of money not something that only you can have. I rather have something worth a bunch of in-game gold then something worth nothing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wiiman00 (talk • contribs) at 00:03, 19 October 2008 (UTC).
- 1. You don't need to post the same comment on both wikis. 2. You're not forced to put your items in the HoM - if you don't think there's any value in it, i.e. you're not particularly bothered about there being a bonus in Guild Wars 2 and you'd prefer the money, don't put anything in there. It's that simple, to be honest. --

"It feels like they wont have no money value and are just there for show."-That's exactly why the items are there. And by the way, if it's something that only you can have it's priceless, moron. I'd much rather have something cool only I can have than something worth a lot of money.

[edit] Filling the Hall
Does anyone remember hearing if we receive a benefit/achievement for filling all 5 monuments in the hall? I'm wondering if there's any point in buying a whole bunch of ugly weps.Vidal 08:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- No, and I've never heard a definition of a "full" hall either. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.149.1.199 (talk).
- It's having every display...full. In other words, you have the maximum number of items being displayed. Anything that gets rotated out of sight is considered extra.Vidal 14:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I meant an official definition.
- Ah, yeah. I'm not exactly official am I? You know when the mural behind the "Honor" display bumps up one rank for having all the displays full? I was thinking that would mean full. For example, if you are only rank 1 in KoaBD, and filling your hall makes it display as rank 2. That kind of full. Anyways...Vidal 04:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, that. You should already get a benefit from the KoaBD title itself. Filling other monuments with minipets or heroes shouldn't change anything.

will you be able to link your banned acount to your new gw2 acount? 85.223.3.154 16:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Updating HOM after linking it?
Anyone know if that is possible? It reads as if the original HOM is closed (or at least irrelevant for GW2) once you "import" your achievements.--Cyberman 04:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- ArenaNet has been fairly quiet on this front, I have no clue, I don't think anyone else does either. Expect something more in depth as the release approaches.--Corsair
@Yarrr 04:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)- Uh... ArenaNet has been fairly OPEN on this front. You will be able to upgrade the HoM no matter what. They said don't want to punish people, and that they want to encourage people to return to GW1... -- Konig/talk 05:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- I meant the HoM in general. We haven't received any solid information on this in a LONG time. As for the not punishing people, I could have sworn that was a reference to the HoM not giving any gameplay benefits, or at least none major.--Corsair
@Yarrr 05:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)- First one, then the other. And I think the only thing we haven't been told of the HoM through various interviews and posts in forums is what the rewards are, exactly how we're to link the games, and what exactly we'll need to put in the GW1 HoM. We know how to get there (via doubeclicking an item that we can spawn infinitely via a command similar to /bonus in GW1), we know that it'll be account to account, we know a generic attribute to the rewards (no gameplay advantages), we know that the HoM will be open to upgrade after GW2's release and we know that we'll be able to upgrade it after linking, etc. -- Konig/talk 05:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- So let me see if I got this right...I link my GW1 account to my GW2 account, and all my current achievments link to GW2 account. Then I return to my GW1 account and add a new title/weapon/mini. Does that give me a new reward in my linked GW2 account HoM? I guess i'm trying to ask is do we keep getting rewards in GW2 as we add stuff in GW1 after they are linked? (Usaf1a8xx 22:52, 20 August 2010 (UTC))
- Yes, as long as your GW1 account is older than your GW2 account or was bought prior to GW2's release (don't know which one). So, as long as that's true, you can log into GW1 and upgrade your HoM at any time, and your GW2's HoM will also upgrade. --217.129.133.230 12:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] We're all humans; how is my descendant gonna be a charr/norn/asura/sylvari?
Is this like adoption or something? otherwise I'm sure lots of guys would love to screw around with Jora and end up with a norn descendant, not so sure about oola for asurans (Don't you think gray wrinkly savants with hair that would rock for headbangs?) and then charrs.... --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:76.65.92.201 (talk).
- I believe it's been said that non-humans won't be actual descendants, but instead simply stumble upon the HoM (which, at GW2 time has been lost for quite a while). --Naoroji

- 1) Descendants of the Heroes (e.g., Pyre, Jora, Vekk); 2) Descendants of major figures (e.g., Olaf, other members of the Fierce warband, Oola); 3) Player-made descendants (done through adoption, teacher/student, etc.). 4) Spiritual descendant (no actual ties). 5) "Descendant" was just a word used by Anet to denote the time passage and that GW1 characters won't be around, thus there is no connection - blood or otherwise - and all heroes just "stumble" (although we have confirmation we take our items via a teleporting item that we create via a feature similar to /bonus in GW1) into the HoM and find an ancient heroes' stuff. All reasonable answers. Go go grave robbing! -- Konig/talk 17:40, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- I really hope it's not a /bonus thingy cuz I have a lot of crap my my various HoM's and that would fill up my inv if I got something for each achievement all at once. I kinda hope it's more like a place where you find chests and the chests pop up a window with items you can transfer out, or display cases with a similar function.

[edit] Finally, some information.
I was glad to learn some details about how this is going to work. Hopefully, when the "full HoM guide" comes we will be able to get some concrete info about how many points specific achievements are worth, etc. Of course, that might just put more pressure on to get more titles...

- Granted but someone like me who hasn't played for a while due to getting board will start playing again to try and stock up on titles etc before the GW2 release to have access to all the cool stuff. --RaGingIMP 16:29, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
