Guild Wars 2

I noticed yesterday a player with a yellow star next to his name. It seemed a bit similar with the star that shows explored content. So I curious, you get that star when you reach 100% world completion, or it’s for something totally different like spvp for example?

Thank you.

It is for map completion yes

Does it appear on only the character that completed the map or all that player’s characters?

If you notice while logging in, when one character has reached up to 33% of the map completion chat, the star for that achievement for your account is at that state. In that light, I believe the achievement itself, should be account-wide. Therefore, I believe the star you get should be accountwide as well, where after that first time you can do the achievement again for exp, rewards, etc. The star, i"m hoping, is shown on every character regardless.

Handy star.
Whilst we can`t see name plates through walls etc, that thing shows up from miles away ;D
