=Guild Wars 2 Petition for Transferable Characters= Guild Wars has meant a lot for me over the last year and a bit. Ive made many friends, I now own a small guild, have some very fun characters and now Arena Net says,

"Characters from the original Guild Wars campaign will not be migrated to play in Guild Wars 2."

Did I waste 746 hours on my account for it to be "reset?" The way Guild Wars is set up, with the current caps, transfer of accounts will not make a big difference between someone who has played GW1 and someone starting GW2. Armor level is standard 60AL insignias and runes are universal. Ive seen level 5's with maximum grade armor or even FoW! Armor is a big factor in the game, but is easy to access. As for level caps.

"The level cap will be raised. It has been suggested that the cap could be 100 or infinite but it is clear that this has not been finalized."

A level 20 compared to a level 100 or more will not be much different than a character from pre-searing. level 1-20 does not take long. People do it within a couple of days.

Suggestions

 * Make some sort of quest allowing previous characters to "travel to the future". Anything is possible with magic.
 * Our old characters will retain armor and skill, provided the entire system isnt changed.
 * Old characters may then start from level 20. Because of the large new level cap, it shouldnt make too much of an unbalance.
 * It was said, "some items" may be transferable, I think that money should be too, it makes most sense. Like in real life, you can gain inheritances.
 * This wont make an unbalance either because as it is now, Guild wars is not based solely on time and money, but prioritizes on players' skill. Having 1 million will not buy you better armor or weapons.
