I just want to further emphasize that no where has it been stated that the Hall of Monuments would be used to transfer any items/armor/weapons to GW2.

Looks like some people weren't so far off with the potential aztec/mayan influence guesses

I imagine holiday 2007 to be around Christmas time. I mean, it's got a few events going on then that people say "happy holidays," so why not? But, if I remember correctly, there was talk of this being released in Q3 of this year, which Christmas time would not fall under, I don't think.

Either way, it's still a long way off and makes me sad.

Your deeds from the original Guild Wars campaigns will be commemorated in the Eye of the North expansion in your Hall of Monuments. The Hall of Monuments will reflect the achievements you earn in Eye of the North as well as those earned in Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall. You will even be able to show off your hall to friends. Then, when Guild Wars 2 arrives, each of these monuments will correspond to special features your Guild Wars 2 characters can "inherit" from your own legendary past, giving you access to exclusive titles, companions (Heroes and pets), weapons, attire, and miniatures. These inherited items are unique: there is no other way within Guild Wars 2 to acquire them.

I don't think the "inherit" actually means a transfer of weapons....I would imagine that the weapon structure and even Armor structure would be totaly different in GW2....although it may give you the "skin" or look of the weapon/armor from GW1

Probably you do a quest, you get a monument, and as they've already said, you *unlock* items for GW2. I'd bet doing these Hall of Monuments quests gives you new bonus items/pets to spawn in GW2. It would be like instead of getting a spiritbinder for a pre-order or a Varesh from the CE, you get it for doing some GW:EN quests.

It's a way to provide continuity and bait people into GW2 without letting them actually transfer anything that wouldn't mesh with the very different game mechanics that are being cooked up.

Demilikos · Mar 27, 2007, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Mayan/Aztec architecture. If that's for GW:EN, the only place announced that would match that scenery is the Tarnished Coast, home of the Asuras. I wonder what that's all about.

Havoc of PhoeniX · Mar 27, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

November/December is a long time to wait for something that isn't as big as the previous Chapters. Nevertheless this inheritance stuff sounds jolly good. Maybe if we ask really nicely we can inherit a "family fortune" from Guild Wars characters :P

Kos Luftar · Mar 27, 2007, 05:12 PM // 17:12

I wonder if 2007 Holidays means, 2007 Christmas Holidays or does it mean 2007 Summer Holidays? They probably just RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing with us again, it will probably be late, even though it shouldn't since so much less is being introduced in this one. Less skills, no new professions, no new map, so its all just add ons so it should be able to be released this summer, but who knows, we probably won't know a definite date till much later.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 27, 2007, 05:22 PM // 17:22

When someone says holiday season, it's always the Christmas season. Never the middle of summer.

scarygrin · Mar 27, 2007, 05:41 PM // 17:41

This stuff looks great, I can't wait.

Looks like the Inq was right on pretty much everything.

As each of the campaigns was released we took greater and greater pains to do that.
On the other hand, there are things we missed out on, like the more organic type of community building where you wandering through the area and hook-up with other people."

"In Guild Wars 2 we wanted to have the best of both worlds. We are retaining the strengths of instanced areas, but we are also integrating a persistenced world. We are not making a World of Warcraft clone here, we are not trying to do what other MMOs have done."

Arena Net's new spin is sort of an amalgam of both instanced and massive environments, where instanced events can have domino effects on other parts of the world, or zone.

Can people FINALLY stop spouting the "WoW Clone" crap now?

Norns FTW

MirageMaster · Mar 27, 2007, 06:54 PM // 18:54

I see Halls of monuments isnt what i thought it will be,pretty much useless if i cant store stuff.I'll pass on GW2.

golem bigstick · Mar 27, 2007, 07:20 PM // 19:20

yay! something to break the addiction of wow!

for sure getting gw2, and i guess ill have to get EN so i can xfer my fow armors and crystallines, not to mention minis.

i loved gw, but it got boring fast, so i hope gw2 gives it a more mmo feel.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 27, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

^Again, no where is it stated that EotN transfers armor/weapons/items or anything.

chicks boy · Mar 27, 2007, 07:46 PM // 19:46

Cant wait to transfer my weapons/armor/chars/money with EN. Cant wait.

You can't do that with GW:EN. You can only store achievements.
