Only "Legendary Survivor" can be displayed in the Hall of Monuments. As far as prestige is concerned, "Survivor" isn't a very impressive title, but it can be pretty substantial for a new player. Nothing wrong with trying for it, but don't beat your head against a wall if you lose it. (I'm speaking from personal experience here -- I started my first character over several times in an attempt to get the title, but my lack of understanding of game mechanics made it very frustrating. After about 3 tries, I said, "screw it" and dove head-first into the rest of the game. It made for a much more enjoyable experience. That character is now working towards "God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals." )
