Any benefit to tying original collector's edition to GW2?

[vampiricllama]

I bought the collector's edition of the original game when it first came out. I never got factions or nightfall or eye of the north, just the original.

Just wondering, if I were to tie this account to guild wars 2, assuming i decide to buy it, are there any benefits at all to doing so beyond what a non-collector's edition account would get?

the CE for the original game doesn't do anything for GW2. You would get a few points toward the Hall of Monuments to get some of the armor pieces though, even if it's not many you get a few just for linking your accounts.

It would do nothing sind you need Eye of the North to access the Hall of Monuments and the content of HoM determines what you get in GW2.

You can see what can be gotten from the HoM on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hall_of_Monuments (mostly cosmetic but some people might want that)
