Okay, I found a post that said something about armor being customized in the Hall of Monuments, so that when you make a Guild Wars 2 character, it'll have to have the same name as the armor's owner's name. Is this true? Like, do we not get to make whole new character names in Guild Wars 2? Any information will be greatly helpful!

From what we know from the PC Gamer article, GW2 will take place hundreds of years after GW1. That means from an RPG standpoint, your characters in GW2 will be your "descendents" from your GW1 character. At least that's the general concesses.

So the answer is, you probablly will be able to make new character names or keep your old one, whichever you prefer. If my name Joe Shoe, my great-grandfather might also have been named Joe Shoe (Joe is a family name) or he could have been named Steve Shoe.

There is still no word yet on wheter you need to keep the same surname (in my example, Shoe). Of course, if you consider the possibility of the bloodline going through the female side of a family over those 200 years, then even the Surname could be changed to your heart's content.

Ah, well that makes sense. Forgot this takes place 100 years or so in the future. hehe Yeah I've got all new names picked out. Can't wait!

Thanks!

On another matter but sort of tied in with this thread
I haven't read OR I missed where we get to "Reserve" our names for GW2?
Is there anything we actually need to do to have our names reserved?
Or is it just automatically done when we add stuff or create things in the HoM?
Thanks for any info.

Just hold on. Please. GW2 doesn't come out until like 2009. The information will be available when it is needed. No need to panic.

I personally think if u the way itll be is : If you have a Guild Wars campaign, youll be able to connect them seeing as how the HoM will be shared with Guild Wars and GW:2. So if u put GW Monk armor up there from a GW account. A Monk from your GW2 account will be able to use. Or rather something along those lines. Its all account based
