Can I transfer a Guild Wars character to Guild Wars 2?No, character transfers between the games are not possible.
However, you can reserve your existing Guild Wars character names for use in Guild Wars 2.
How do I reserve the character names I'm using in Guild Wars for use in Guild Wars 2?Reserve names by logging on to Guild Wars at any time after January 1, 2012 and before the name reservation list is built (the exact date will announced a few weeks before launch).
- Link your Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 accounts.
- Create a Guild Wars 2 character using the name(s) from your Guild Wars account. This step must be done during the
- Headstart Access period or on launch day.
What happens if I don't reserve the name before the name reservation list is build, I don't link my accounts, or I don't use the name by the end of launch day?After launch day, all remaining names will lose their reservation and become available to all Guild Wars 2 players.
Will anything transfer from Guild Wars besides character names?Yes, if you link your accounts, your Guild Wars in-game achievements recorded in the Hall of Monuments will be translated into special titles, animal companions, miniatures, an exclusive armor set, and one exclusive skin for each type of weapon. For further reference, see the article on the Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator or refer to the Hall of Monuments article.
Are Hall of Monuments achievements by character or by account?By account. A player may link a Guild Wars 2 account to a Guild Wars account using an in-game item in Guild Wars 2. All characters on the account will then be able to access the rewards from the Hall of Monuments.
