they'll maybe be in you ancestors Hall of Monuments, but you wont be able to display them on your new character , after all, theyare titles for competeing in a totally diferent game.
I got Protector of Tyria/Cantha/Elona. Tyrian Gaurdian and skill hunter and legendary survivor. I got about 4 titles NEARLY done but im too busy helping randoms and general missioning to bother grinding out the last few. As long as i have a little something in every area of my HoM im happy, got some eite weaps, armors/pets/heroes and titles, im good to cross over.
Was awsome at the start , when it was packe with entheusiastic people, it's a shadow of its former self community wise, but the game itself, is beautiful. Watch the video review on Gamespot to get a good idea of what its like, just bare in mind that if you bought it now, you'd do alot of the game solo. But it's crafted fantastically.

I have 10 titles maxed- three lots of Protector, all four Cartography, Sunspear, Lightbringer and Vanguard. Not at all interested in any PvP ones; 10 will do me.
Peach will never get cartographer.

I highly recommend Guild Wars as a game. It very much exceeded my expectations of it. I heard it was a hardcore PvP game so I bought it with trepidation, but I feel the single player and co-op is extremely good and solid as well. With all four sets available at good prices, this has, by a LONG way, given me the highest hours played/money paid ratio of any game ever.

I have actually played this game longer then any other game that I ever owned. When I just got it I was into both PvP and PvE, but then towards the end of Factions and when Nightfall came out, the community was spread so thin out over all the continents that it was completely impossible to find a full group of players to complete missions or quests with. That kind of ruined PvE for me, as I really like to interact with other players rather than use henchmen or even heroes. And then from the beginning of Nightfall I completely centered around PvP.
I will never get Tyrian Cartographer because to hell with redoing missions again to map those last little bits (because I'm pretty sure that's all I'm really missing). The other two I may get simply because I plan on vanquishing and the two go very hand-in-hand.
I should really go back and get the master rewards on those two missions I didn't yet in Factions so I'll have the Protector title for that too.
I was working on Legendary Survivor on my Paragon, but I managed to lose it to lag about halfway to rank 2. I was not pleased with that.
Probably most proud of my armor collection (I, uh, spend way too much money on armor in-game) and my Underworld statue in the HoM, since when I did UW was right when they first added in Dhuum and people were bitching and complaining it was impossible to do with a group that didn't consist of only Assassins so a bunch of us went and beat it. I think we were probably among the first groups to do so, it was pretty awesome, and the first and only time I've done UW.
They are still talking up how, even though it is not instanced, they are removing all the potential irritations of having other people around. They also say leeching will be impractical. I'm still sceptical on both counts though- I want them to be right, but I fear it is logically impossible to completely cut out these things.

It doesn't matter so much that they are there. It matters if they can cock up your gaming experience.
I'm not sure this dynamic event system will be that great either. I want to game at my own pace sometimes. I can do that in GW. I don't think it will be that simple in GW2.

well, it's a heavy RP mechanic really, a rallying call to arms at the drop of a hat to some nearby village that being attacked, so you and your few guildies head over an find some rampaging orcs, sounds like an exciting system personally, but if you're of the view that - if your busy doing something else, and can't get to the event, and feel like you're gonna missout on special drops/xp/w/e, i doubt the system will be THAT rewarding to the participants. They'll likely just be for fun and to keep the world feeling alive.

Meanwhile, much as I like the current 'War in Kryta' storyline in GW that is first in a series of events that bridge the gap in GW2, the problem id that only a tiny fraction of people can see all of it.
As an example. One of two new scenes added in today's update is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Evennia- leader of the Shining Blade in Prophecies- turning up at the Eye of the North and asking the Ebon Vanguard for help against the White Mantle- in return for which she offers to help wipe out the Charr in Ascalon (with a slightly tragic feel, we know that will never happen as they are still there in GW2).
All very well and good and plot advancing. The problem is, you can only see this scene if:
1. You have seen the scene before where Evennia leaves the Shining Blade camp in the Talmark Wilderness. This involves you actually having found the camp in the first place, as it has only existed a few weeks and unless you check out guides or the wiki you wouldn't actually know it was there.
2, Even if you do know it is there, you have to have competed Prophecies or EOTN to see the Camp, else the location is in its original state as it was in Prophecies.
3. But the conversation outside the Eye of the North furthers the Gwen/Thackeray love story which is also part of the GW2 buld up. To see this scene, therefore, you also need to have seen and completed the previous scene in THAT story
4. Which means having completed the scavenger hunt for Gwen's surprise birthday
5. You only get to do the scavenger hunt if you have seen the scenes in the Hall of Monuments leading up to it. Which you can only see if you have completed either EOTN or the EOTN Wintersday Quests.
So. To see this new scene, you have to have:
1. Completed Prophecies
2. Found the Shining Blade Camp and viewed all the previous scenes there
3. Completed EOTN (or the Wintersday quests in it)
4. Followed the Gwen/Thackeray scenes at the Hall of Monuments
AND
5. Completed the Gwen Scavenger Hunt (not the hardest, but not a casual thing!)
...
That's got to be fewer than 1 in 10 players! Fine, I just saw it, but geez...
