It's set either 100, 200 or 300 years in the future and you play as the decentant of the character you played (should have played) in GW1.
Therefore by playing GW1 and unlocking achievements for the Hall of Monuments in EOTN expansion, you get an advantage (items and experience) over newcomers in GW2.
Is what I was lead to believe.

it's not, i've seen some crazy cats (playable) and some new magic which totaly doesn't add up AND characters look totaly different
Not to mention that gw2 will have cities in the skyes and different magic...

and guns
*pewpew*
Chiyachan:
It looks like the charr have guns in the Guild Wars 2 trailer. Will there be firearms in Guild Wars 2?
Since Guild Wars 2 takes place 250 years in the future from Guild Wars, we wanted to introduce new technology to Tyria. From the mystical tech of the asura to the industrial war machines of the charr, Guild Wars 2 unmistakably takes place in a different era than the original game, and the weaponry and machinery reflect that. Firearms will definitely be part of the equation — but with a unique twist.
When will we find out the specific benefits that the Hall of Monuments provides to Guild Wars 2 characters?
We will reveal exactly how the Hall of Monuments works when we're closer to the launch of the game.
Can I play my original Guild Wars character in Guild Wars 2?
Guild Wars 2 is a whole new game with different professions and races, new technology, and expanded gameplay. It is not possible to directly use an original Guild Wars character.
However, your original Guild Wars character names will be reserved for your use in Guild Wars 2. The Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars 2 recognizes the accomplishments commemorated by your original Guild Wars characters and provides you with unique rewards to showcase those achievements.

I was right.

Not right regarding everything, it never states that people from gw2 will have a advantage at all, I wouldn't be suprised if it would be some kind om mini-pet or similiar cosmetic stuff.

GW1 was like that(not like it was a mmo, they didnt want to call it that). But GW2 gonna be more like a mmo.

So do I, hopefully guilds like EW/WAR and other old guilds will be back in GW2.
What I wonder the most is the fact that there will be no dedicated healer-class. Hopefully atleast it will be possible to combine skills to make a healer, or you are forced to run prot-monks(if there now are monks). Somehow they have to work in so people can play healers, unless GvG is gonna be quite horrible imo.

As a minipet collector, I consider that an advantage. :P
