Guild Wars 2

I would like to ask if the devs can make a personal decoration for me. I would like them to make a memorial piece for my baby boy that I can put either in my home instance or guild hall. my little boy was born with a Heart defect that required surgery the day he was born. Sadly he passed away 5 days after he was born even though the surgery went well. so in memory of my baby boy i would like to make a decoration in my home instance or guild hall. But I like to be able to put a name and dates etc on it. would something like this be possible?

I hope you get it.

I’m so sorry for your loss

During beta there were threads from people asking for the ability to create a memorial in the guild hall that they could “personalize” as they prefer; devs commented on it being a very nice idea so I had hopes they were going to do it …. though perhaps we should be glad they didn’t initially introduce it at the high cost of mats halls started with. How insulting would it be to learn you can have your heartfelt memorial after you grind out 100 ascended items, eg.?

Maybe they haven’t due to logistical considerations such as how to assign permissions to it. I’d hate to see your monument to your boy turned into an “Eat at Joe’s” sign thanks to a callous fellow guildie, but then is it something only the guild leader can inscribe? If it’s made so any guildie can set down a commemorative marker that no one can edit, some pretty rude things can happen there, too.

I hope the devs haven’t forgotten or chucked the idea, but are instead still trying to think of ways to implement this gracefully for everyone.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I truly hope they give you the decoration you desire.

not just for my boy but there have been times when guild members have died from other guilds and it would be a nice way for the guild to remember them.

An ability to have a graveyard/mausoleum in Guildhall, where you can put up plaques with selected text has been suggested more than once before.

Specific monuments are likely out, but at least some generic mechanics for such purpose would be greatly appreciated.
