Gw and Gw2 HoM for new accounts - Guild Wars Forums

Pulsedriver · Oct 26, 2013, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Hi everyone!

I started to play just one month ago (October 2013) and I read this on http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hall_of_Monuments:

"Players reaching a high enough rank in their Hall of Monuments will unlock exclusive rewards, including titles, companions, armor, weapons and miniature pets in GW2"

The problem is:

"These bonuses are expected to be available to any Guild Wars 2 account linked to a Guild Wars account that is created before the release of GW2."
"ArenaNet has not stated whether this also means that the bonuses will also be available to Guild Wars 1 accounts created after the release, but before the creation of a linked Guild Wars 2 account. "

What does it mean? Even if I manage to achieve the 50/50 HoM in GW, I can't have the bonuses in GW2 because my account is created after the release? Or can i do it as any other one? I hope someone can give me a positive answer...

I'm not sure even I understand what that second quoted sentence means. Also, there is no such thing as "companions" in GW 2.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you created your GW 1 account before or after the release of GW 2, you will still get the respective rewards from your HoM.

Ok, so it seems I don't need to worry about my new account and the rewards in GW2... Thank you so much

GW terminology. Companion = pet.

Therefore, there is no such thing as "companions" in GW 2.

Okay, if it's that hard to admit.
