Because Guild Wars 2 takes place 250 years after "Guild Wars", the player can not keep their character from "Guild Wars" in "Guild Wars 2". Instead the player can link their "Guild Wars" account to the "Guild Wars 2" account to get rewards in "Guild Wars 2". The points are gained by completing a variety of tasks in "Guild Wars". When a task is completed, the player can turn the task into points by adding them to the Hall of Monuments. The Hall of Monuments is available in the "Eye of the North" expansion.
