Initial Start Questions - Guild Wars Forums

I have questions regarding the wipe of character information, levels, and guilds. If I have read correctly, we will only be keeping the weapon or item we recieved for pre-ordering the game from the store, all other things will be wiped clean. In all fairness this is good; but if we are, or after the wipe out, were in Guilds that have been in play since the beginning, would it not be an added bonus to let those that have pre-ordered their game to still be in the same guild? Just a thought, I also realize that it would probably be difficult to program the wipe of some and not all members from a guild.

As I have stated earlier, adventuring in Guild Wars has been wonderous and the graphics are outstanding... even in the Catacombs... the ceilings are not totally visible to the eye... this is as it should be... if any of you have been into cave exploration, the light only goes so far and then the darkness takes over...

As far as free weapon, I don't know if I received mine or not, how, or where would you go to find the weapon?

Also, I am running a Ranger/Monk character, and was able to explore alot of Old Ascalon, and found alot of the bosses, and the trainers in the area I was in, but getting there initially was tough. I must have spent a half an hour trying to figure which gate to go through, and went to all the gates in my area. And I finally noticed another character running into the mist and then "disappearing" through a portal, or under a bridge. I must have passed the entry way three times. Is there anyway, that the individual at the Academy gate could give a clue, if he is already not, as to where to go? The first time players that are brand new to the game will benefit from it. Peace.

A recent interview with the game developers is clear on one point: All avatars will be wiped to level one. That same interview says that things that have been acquired will not be wiped. It is not clear what will happen to weapons and armor that are of a higher level when the avatar reverts to level 1 and can't equip them anymore. Particularly if the inventory is full. Where is this stuff going to go? What happens to it? No insight on this yet and possibly the devs don't know.

interesting..
I wonder too, could you keep skills - even elite ones?
I dont think they are level based - or maybe some/most are and I didnt notice? You keep your $?

Wow.. advantage preorder if some, let alone all of this, sticks around..!

All you characters will be reset to lvl 1, and all items, skills and guilds will be wiped, the only thing that remais are the character names (AFAIK).

I really wish they wouldn't wipe guilds. Everything else, I understand and agree with but I feel like that one thing should be left alone. Wipe the ladders and such, sure, but allow the organizations themselves to stay.

an interview stated it would be a clean wipe so it would be to a guilds advantage to have the guild leader ready to lock in the guild name when you preorders start on the 27th ahead of the 28th retail people
