Nothing in GW should significantly affect stuff in GW2, I mean it's a new game for christs sake everyone should start from scractch. (I like NeHoMaR's suggestion, some e-peen reward should suffice).

If people start posting about how they "wasted" their time getting titles in GW and now don't get any benefits from it they need to consider.... GW2 IS A NEW GAME.

Get over it

I still cant belive how ignorant people are about HoM, it took me a whole...3 mins to find a pile of info off the official wiki for a start, it only takes a little more digging to find more....go look - this is what? the 7th topic about this in a week?

Description

From the official site:

Heroes are born in the crucible of conflict and tempered in the flames of battle. Their deeds shine throughout history as a beacon of hope to those who must rise to defend the world in ages to come, becoming part of the legend of the land. The legends forged within Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and the Eye of the North will not be forgotten in the future world of Guild Wars 2.

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 , weapons, attire, and miniatures. These inherited items are unique: there is no other way within Guild Wars 2 to acquire them.

Notes

* This feature will not allow characters to be transferred between Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. However, it will allow character names to be reserved and a character linked to a Guild Wars character will inherit some of the original character's accomplishments.
* It will not support transfer of armor, characters, or gold. However, acquiring some armors in GW1 may confer benefits in GW2 via the Hall of Monuments.

Well, says it all really

Wiki is not A-net.... It is updated by the players... I still haven't seen anything from the devs about anything that has been posted as expectations in this thread.\\

The information given does not say that we can transfer anything, It says we are given acces:

titles- so we get corresponding titles
companions - maybe a character in GWEN will last 100 years? or maybe a special pet.
weapons- most likely a 'game of the year' type weapon (like I stated before)
attire- holiday type festival hat?
miniatures - It doesnt even say we can KEEP the minis...it says we are given acces to special minis...

seriously this is how things like this:

....happen. Players hear partial info...players set their expectations... players cry and complain that 'ANET PROMISED' ...when this has never been the case.

I commend clawofcrimson, Lonesamurai, and the others with similar posts for their continued patience in helping clear up this confusion every time it comes up -- again. I've also been trying to help clear up this confusion, but thanks to these contributers I don't have to.

Finally, in comment to NeHoMaR's "only hope"... It would be nice to know during GW:EN what will eventually unlock something in GW2, but I would rather NOT know what it is exactly that I am unlocking until I play GW2. I enjoy the surprise.

well unless Xfer is added to the dictionary in the next 3 years I highly doubt anyone will be Xferring anything from anywhere to anywhere else, let alone GW2.

Off Topic: Transferring? I doubt it will be anything like as simple as many people claim to know it will be. I suspect there will be very very little if any transfer of anything, there may be the possibility of unlocking unique skins or something for your GW2 character by obtaining an exciting weapon in GW but it probably wont apply to many weapons. Of course this is all speculation as we have had very little official information and everything is likely to change.

Z'HA'DUM · May 22, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

and why transfer weapons anyway? who says that the weapon stats are gonna be the same? i dont think so, otherwise it wouldnt be gw2...

Edge Martinez · May 22, 2007, 10:57 PM // 22:57

I don't think anything should be transferred, or any special favor given for anything from GW1. It's a new game.

Edit: That's my opinion. Obviously ANet/NCSoft/Whoever is doing something.
