I’m just asking because, while I could go back and play MORE of the original GW, I was wondering if anyone knows if they have plans to let some of the non-GW1 players, or those who didn’t fill their HOM to ever get these items/upgrades/bonuses.
No, this is clearly a reward for GW1 players only.
I have (lost?) several thousand hours on that game, GWAMM and 50/50 achieved, I’m not even sure a bunch of items and titles is enough to worth all these years on GW1.
God I hope not. I put a lot in to Guild Wars. And I love my Firery Dragon Sword. It has been my sword skin from the start. And that will never change. It’s by far the best looking sword in the game IMHO. If they make it that anyone can get it. I’ll lose my feeling of being different from the crowd. As I’ve not seen many people with the skin at level 80.
No they wouldn’t do that.
The HoM skins are a littttle bit of a measly reward in the first place. They’re hardly going to take the exclusiveness away from a whole lot of people who worked very hard and spent a lot of time playing GW1. I played GW1 since launch, since in GW2 the titles and exclusive skins I earned are the only indication of this I would be pretty peeved if that was taken away from me.
I only had 30 points. I can imagine that anyone who had put in even more time/money than me to get up to 50 points would be rather enraged if Anet ever did this. It simply isn’t going to happen, they’re there to be exclusives for specific people and that’s how they will remain.
I’d imagine the only way this would happen is if GW1 were ever shut down. Currently it’s a nice way of rewarded longtime fans, and even potentially getting new GW2 players to try out GW1 who otherwise wouldn’t have.
ArenaNet would be disregarding a significant part of its former GW1 client base if they did simply just open it up.
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

Even if/when they shut GW1 down they won’t open up the HoM rewards. They were designed to give players who had ALREADY played GW1 rewards. They only allowed new GW1 players to earn them because they knew they would get sales from it.
It’s no different to GW1 offering special limited edition weapons on occasion.
In GW1 players who purchased the pre-release bonus pack of Eye of The North got the Hourglass Staff (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hourglass_Staff). There is no other way to get the skin and they never implemented it since it was designed to be something for people who purchased that specific version of EoTN. So the HoM rewards will always be for people who actually earned them.
i doubt its doable in a month, but then again im not one of the fastest players on earth so maybe your right 8-)
Got 30 points to and then didnt want to grind any further.
I enjoyed doing things like legendary guardian and legendary vanguisher.
would be a shame if this would be given for free to non gw1 players.
Just stepping in to confirm that those bonuses from the Hall of Monuments will not be available for those that did not play GW1 in the first place. As it has been correctly stated all over the thread, the different bonuses constitute a reward to those players that accompanied us during GW1.
We close the thread now.
Thanks for your understanding.
