It's getting annoying how often the search function is disabled, so I'm trying to take it easy on spamming "Search" on every reply to every question.

Anyway, Fame is linked to PvP, in order to gain Fame you must participate(and win) certain PvP game types, such as GvG, and Hero's Ascent. Fame is linked to the infamous Rank, you gain rank based on your amount of fame(not sure of the exact numbers). For a newer player interested in PvP, you should probably focus on progressing through the PvE aspect of the game, and concentrate on unlocking skills, runes, and so on for PvP. I'll leave my personal feelings about Rank out, so I hope this helps a bit, feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything else.

You cannot get Fame from GvG. Winning GvG battles only helps your Guild Rank, and you get Faction from killing people. Fame is only awarded if you win a battle in HA.

Here is some helpful info from http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=382193

Rank 1 - 25 fame
Rank 2 - 75 fame
Rank 3 - 180 fame (Deer emote)
Rank 4 - 360 fame
Rank 5 - 600 fame
Rank 6 - 1000 fame (Wolf emote)
Rank 7 - 1680 fame
Rank 8 - 2800 fame
Rank 9 - 4665 fame (Tiger emote)
Rank 10 - 7665 fame
Rank 11 - 12960 fame
Rank 12 - 20000 fame (Phoenix emote?)

1st consecutive win: 1 fame
2nd consecutive win: 2 fame
3rd consecutive win: 3 fame
4th consecutive win: 4 fame
5th consecutive win: 6 fame
6th consecutive win: 8 fame
7th consecutive win: 12 fame
8th consecutive win: 16 fame
9th consecutive win: 20 fame
10th consecutive win: 24 fame

K i get it now but what is the point of it? Does it unlock new weapons/armour? And I know this is off topic but what does faction do these are the only two things i havent understood yet.

Fame does nothing, faction allows you to unlock skills @ a priest of balthazar.

Ah ok thank you for all your help XD

All fame does is unlock certain emotes that do nothing except show how leet you are (or how much you can play IWAY

), it only applies to Heroes Ascent play, you don't earn it for anything else and guilds that demand you have X fame aren't worth belonging to.
