ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Transfering Guilds from Guild Wars 1 to Guild Wars 2

This should happen for one reason alone: The HUGE amount of drama that would happen if guild names were not reserved and people would "steal" reknown guild names. --Xeeron 13:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Strongly Agree. Reserve Guild Names for the Guild Leaders at the very least. --148.87.1.171 02:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Since it's a while new different game, in my humble opinion, no. Transfering guilds should not happen. I'm not a leader of a well-known and large guild, never been, so I can't really look from those eyes. But in these eyes of a once noble member of a well-known and large guild, I don't want guilds to be able to transfer themselves into this game. --88.115.117.120 10:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why? You simply expressed your opinion but did not give any concrete reason to back it up. --148.87.1.171 02:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

The guild mechanics in GW2 might be totally different, so I would say no to direct transfer. However, it would be nice if they added the ability for the leader of the guild to 'reserve' the name of his guild in the Hall of Monuments in GW1, much like the ability to reserve your name for GW2. --Kristoferjm 07:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I totally agree, I have my current guild for over 3 yrs now, and it would be a waste if some guy i kicked out the guild due to spamming would find it funny to register the guildname be4 i have the chance (there are people like that sadly enough). I don't mind having to rebuild everything in a different setting, but at least the guildname should be protected. Plus I find it very weird that even tho Guild Wars apparently evolves around guilds (hence the name), no information of what to expect in GW2 about the guild mechanics has been released. 84.28.238.158 08:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

WOULD NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW GRAPHICS. STUPID JUST MAKE A NEW ONE.

I would suggest the unsigned line above be eliminated as derogatory and of questionable value.12.21.174.25 07:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

As a Guild Owner and Leader, "Let Freedom [RING]", I would also like to see Guild Names transferred into GW2 as well. Considerable time and expense was made to create, maintain and staff my guild. It would be a shame not to be able capitalize on this investment even though GW will continue as a stand alone game after GW2 is released. To carry this idea even further, I would also like to see Guild attributes, such as Guild Hall NPC's transferred as well. Anyone who has gone to the expense of staffing their Guild will probably agree with me here. It is clear that the mechanics for transferring player's names and accomplishments already exists so transferring GH names and attributes shouldn't stretch Anet's programmer's skill sets unduly. 12.21.174.25 07:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
