HOM closed at start of GW2?
Every now and then I hear that when GW2 is released, Players will not longer be able to add new monuments. Now.
Is it true, is there definitive quote from anet representative that this will happen? Because its quite dumb ... id rather believe that its FUD someone made up and not okayed idea by some anets designer. Not only it is basically "deathblow" to GW1, it also reduces all potential sales of GW1 related products to practical zero. Grind under pressure (looming GW2 release) is not that much pleasant either. Besides, there are still some unanswered questions, like: Will more characters be able to inherit from single old character (aka, does monument gathering on single main character make sense if you want to have multiple GW2 characters...)? |

This is just a guess, so take what I say with a grain, but I'm thinking the HoM will be unchangeable once you make a new character linked to that particular character's HoM. So maybe you could keep updating a GW1 character's HoM as long as there is no new character in GW2 that considers that character as an ancestor. I hope that's clear; and again, just a guess.

I believe it has been stated before by Gaile that as you update your GW1 Hom, then the benefits from it will be transferred to your GW2 character. However, since so much is still in flux I would aim to try and get as much done within the useful lifespan of GW1 as possible.

Like Shanaeri, I'm not taking anything for granted, there's plenty of time and I'll just fill it up in my own sweet time.. then if we can add more stuff that'll be cool. Edit: Just found this on a devchat transcript. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it's legit, it seems to be a log of a GameSpy Arcade LiveWire devchat, and also looks pretty old, things may have changed since then: Quote:

I doubt it for 2 reasons.
1. When people see all the 1337 loot that will be recieved from the HoM achievements there will be crying and QQing cos it will be 'unfair' that they cant go back to GW1 and farm up their titles. 2. Some people who just buy GW2 without having played GW1 (yes it will happen) may even reverse buy GW1 for the '1337 loot' and we all know Anet <3 sales. |

In the interview last month they explicitly stated you can "go back" and finish off a GW1 title for the GW2 HoM benefit. That's in keeping with their plan to keep the GW1 servers running until no one plays it.

Will the hall be locked when GW2 comes out? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:84.56.226.91 .
I've heard that it won't be, so you can keep customizing it or adding things in it if you want. Alaris 23:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC) Anyone have confirmation to this one way or another? 69.31.193.138 18:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC) I assumed that if someone wanted to purchase GW:EN and work on the HoM after release of Guild Wars 2, he or she could do so. Let me include this in the CS this week and see if I can get a formal answer. -- Gaile 18:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC) there you have it im sure the hall will NOT be locked |

So, bottom line, still no definate answer, and probably won't be until closer to GW2 release. But logic says that the HoM will remain active, as others have suggested, to keep the orginal GW sellable. |
