Guild Wars 2

Important background: I have never had the God Walking Among Mere Mortals title on my account. I have not earned it in GW1 and I was not mistakenly awarded it.

When I made a beta character just now (my first one this weekend, due to being away until now) I got the mail informing me that I had been mistakenly awarded this title and it had been removed. All my Hall of Monuments achievements were also gone and the points for them were removed from my total. (Interestingly however I still had the skins unlocked.)

I quickly switched to one of my regular characters and was relieved to see the change didn’t carry over – everything was still in place. But I’m confused as to why this would happen. I don’t know if it’s to do with making a beta character or not, but I thought I should mention it just in case.

I figure every single account was sent that mail about the Monuments error, regardless of whether they had every played GW1 or not (I received the mail, even though I was only at 3/50 for the rewards and had not exploited them).

I think the reason your beta character’s didn’t have them is because it could be considered a separate account (which therefore is an unlinked account to GW1) which then means you wouldn’t have any of the points towards it shown. However, you would still have the skins unlocked as when the account copy was made for the beta, it brought over the skins as well (which didn’t require a linked account).

Just my thought, I am only speculating.

I got the same email on my beta character too, and I think my heart missed a beat or two – I actually do have the title on my account (and should have). Few checks later, it seems that the beta character has no access to the title (and was sent that mail), but the actual characters in the account do still have the title as they should. So, beta character related it seems.

Every account for beta got it.

This is happening for new characters created out of beta on accounts, as well (there have been threads about it in other forum sections). When you log back into your beta characters or one of these new characters after logging in on a regular character (I think most of us did this to make sure we still had everything), you should find that it’s all there again.

In short, the mail message is being sent when it should not, but your account is fine.
