Yet Another HoM-GW2 Question... - Guild Wars Forums

Marvel-Kid · Jan 04, 2010, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Alrighty..... I want to fill my HoM. -Money is not an issue. What I need to know, is if u can link your GW1 acc to your GW2 acc, without a plaync account. I have an account, but I lost my information. They refuse to give me my info even after proof of purchase.

Basically, can I transfer my stuff over w/o linking via plaync.

Kattar · Jan 04, 2010, 05:32 PM // 17:32

No one knows yet. Hopefully more information will be available when the game is closer to launch.

xron · Jan 04, 2010, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I've had the same worry and I won't be buying gw2 unless the situation is positive and we don't have to have a plaync account.

drunk n angry · Jan 04, 2010, 06:26 PM // 18:26

another question in filling the HoM is will it be account based or per toon based when it comes to advances from it in gw2.

because I'm not going to spend more money on a company who would have such a lousy method of transfer.

How is anybody supposed to know that they will need to keep CD-keys years later, when for most games they're useless after the install.

I could just go and restart in gw2 but I don't fancy having nothing to show for the things I've achieved in gw1.

That should actually be a common practice... I still have them all, all my game boxes (and keys) since the early 90's...

Lord Dagon · Jan 04, 2010, 08:15 PM // 20:15

yep.. see for me money is an issue so those of us that arent uber rich(ppl that buy polar bears and onis and things of that nature, im looking at you

) have to ask ourselves, "what is going to be useful in the near future(gw2).

So with anet speculating at gw2's realese being sometime earlier next year (mach april in that area) you'd think that they would at least give us some info on whats going to happen.

but then again it could go under the rug and anet will just come out with another "oops srry we didnt have the resources to get this done.. but gl everyone ;D"

so we dont really know... but anyway HOPEFULLY(and im putting my hope into this one) they'll tell us before halloween of this year.

And on a less serious note... if you get your account hacked in these harrowing times it wont even matter if you got everythign in gw1... you wont have an account to link anymore ;p

which makes me curious.. im surprised people arent freaking out at the above thing i mentioned.. as a future ramping up the suspence for the game they told us out gw2 account will get some special stuff if we did certain things in gw1(aka filling ur HoM). But with all these accounts getting hacked.. doesnt it kind of say that you'll LINK the accounts... which is kind of a hackers banetquet? id personally be a bit more worried to buy gw2 and a bit more less likely to get it if it links to my perviously hacked gw account to give me cool stuff in gw2 xD. Just a bit of food for thought to get those panick-streaken sweaty palm feeling going ;D.

i've pretty much kept cd keys for games that them to install but for games like gw where once you make your account, its tied to the account, i haven't kept all of them.

JimmyNeutron · Jan 05, 2010, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Another thread w/ the same question...

In about another month, we'll get "What will be the benefits of the HoM in GW2?"

Answer: Unless you hear it straight from the horses' ass, no one knows.

Why? I've put my keys back in the box after use and then completely forgot about them. Kept the game box. I'm done.

Tommy's · Jan 05, 2010, 09:00 AM // 09:00

In my eyes the funny thing about this thread is that it seems that people that are so spoiled in gw1 with all their goodies, will not play gw2 if they can't transfer their stuff, because then they got to start all over again. While unspoiled gw1 players are looking damn forward to it. Is it right to ask yourselfs wether your wealth has drained the fun out of it for you?!

Now I'm worried! I've used my email as login so far and only made a PlayNC a/c for the free storage pane. Hopefully the current a/c's and passwords will carry over because so far my experience with playNC has been mind numbing!

We're hearing from the horse's ass all to often tbh.

I think there's going to be a lot of whiney people when GW2 comes out. It may only be the way you worded this, but you are aware that you won't actually "transfer" anything to GW2, I hope? The best you can expect is that you can bring people into your HoM in GW2 and show them what you had in GW1. The weapons and armor in the HoM won't be used in GW2.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can take out minis and use armor/weapons from GW1 in GW2.... I can't remember if it was official or...

*Leaves open entry for Anet worker to tell us*

Grace Paragon · Jan 05, 2010, 07:14 PM // 19:14

this is straight from Guild Wars Official Wiki...

"Link to Guild Wars 2
This feature does not allow characters to be transferred between Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. However, it does allow character names to be reserved.
It does not support bulk transfer of armor, items, characters, or gold. However, acquiring select items in GW1 will confer benefits in GW2 via the Hall of Monuments.
Each of your GW1 characters has its own Hall of Monuments. However, the rewards will be "unlocked" account-wide and will transfer to your GW2 account, and it is possible to display all monuments attained on one account in GW1. Accomplishments dedicated in GW1's Hall of Monuments will continue to update your GW2 account even after GW2's release. "

as far as more info or Anet changing this, thats for them to respond to..

ANet has stated on numerous occasions that GW2 is a new game and that no equipment or armor from GW1 will be usable in GW2.
