Week 5: 2/2

The second question to answer is how 3D spaces are used to reflect personalities and interests.  There are 3 main ways this is accomplished.  The first, and most common, is through your gear.  In Guild Wars, all gear has the exact same base stats, some are just rarer then others and cost more ingredients.  As such, you have at least 6 armor sets that are all different looks that you can dye different colors and make all your own.

The second way is through the hall of monuments.  As you collect certain achievements, your hall will slowly fill out more, and as you get excessive options, you are able to pick and choose which ones to display.  But unless someone is in a group with you, they will never see it and the overall design won't change, merely the contents displayed.

The final, much more relevant way to answer this question is with guild halls.  A guild leader can buy a hall from a bunch of different types, over 10 I believe.  Each of these has a unique layout and theme to them.  Some appear to be a Gothic style castle while another is a palace from an Egyptian esque area.  There are also some basic upgrades you can get that improve the guild hall, mostly for guild battles.  Almost everyone will have these upgrades after some time though, so the only real way to show off your personality is in the initial style of the guild hall.
