Personally I'm really looking forward to this challenge

Guild Wars Hard Mode Fact Sheet

For veteran adventurers seeking new challenges and rewards, Hard mode is sure to provide all of the glory you seek, and more!
Hard mode will become available to any player who completes a campaign in the standard mode. Once you complete a campaign with one character, any other level 20 characters on that account will also gain access to that campaign's Hard mode. (Ascension is not required for these characters.)

Adjusted Difficulty Levels
Hard mode is not for the faint of heart. We've made adjustments to provide you with heartier henchmen and followers (for example, lower level henchmen will become level 20 upon entering a Hard mode area), but the levels of all of your foes, as well as their AI, have been enhanced. The monsters are not only harder to kill, they fight smarter than ever. So, your success in Hard mode will be determined, more than anything else, by your skill at playing the game.
For those of you who may just now be getting your footing in Guild Wars, have no fear. We've also adjusted the difficulty of the regular game as well, providing a somewhat easier play experience during your early adventures, and saving the more difficult challenges and greater rewards for later, after you've become more battle-hardened.
Once you feel up to the challenge of Hard mode, though, here is a sample of what's in store for you:
Increased Title Ranks
Advance your rank as a Sunspear, gaining powerful new skills tailored to your profession along the way.
Increase your might against the minions of Abaddon by progressing through the ranks of the Lightbringer title track.
New Titles
Earn your place as a Guardian of Tyria, Cantha, or Elona by completing all of a campaign's missions in Hard mode.
Defeat all of the foes in each explorable area to attain the status of a Vanquisher, and track your progress on the World Map.
Increased Rewards
Greater challenges mean greater rewards.
You will find a larger number of both rare and uncommon items in your Hard mode adventures.
You will also acquire more experience points, and even more gold!
New Items
Testing your mettle in Hard mode will also give you the opportunity to find exciting new items.

Double-click on the Elite Tome while in a town or outpost to learn any elite profession skill already unlocked on your account. Double-click on the Non-Elite Tome while in a town or outpost to learn any non-elite profession skill already unlocked on your account. Double-click this Passage Scroll to teleport your party to the Underworld. This item can only be used in the Temple of the Ages, Zin Ku Corridor, or Chantry of Secrets. Double-click this Passage Scroll to teleport your party to the Fissure of Woe. This item can only be used in the Temple of the Ages, Zin Ku Corridor, or Chantry of Secrets.
Lockpicking
Opening locked chests in Hard mode can be done using lockpicks. Why carry a dozen different keys when a lockpick can do the trick? Lockpicks aren't perfect, though; they may break. However, the ranks you earn in the Treasure Hunter and Lucky title tracks will increase both the chance that the lockpick will work, and that it will remain intact after each use.

Yeah i'm loving this latest update. There is so much to do, so many titles to acquire. I just wish they would let us know which titles will be shown in the hall of monuments so I know what to work on!

TDC all Titles that You "Max" or That can Be
displayed will Be in the Hall of Heros!
Example: Sunspear 1-2-3-Ect.
As long as you can Wear the Title in GW1 it will
be in the Hall of Heros if you don't get enough
points to be able to Display in Gw1 there wont
be any mention in the HoH.
Also at the live on line 1UP interview last
month with the arenanet team leaders it
was said that If you continue playing GW1 and
raise your titles after GW2 release those also
will be in The HoH as you aquire them but, this
last point is Not set in stone as of yet.

Wrong again Crimson. your titles will be displayed in the Hall of Monuments. The Hall of heroes is in the Mists where all the PVP battles for favor take place.

I suggest you read the article again.

Just to help you out I will link you to the GW artile on Gamespot which is linked from the GW News page on www.guildwars.com.

I've quoted it below

Quote:
GS: How will Eye of the North tie into Guild Wars 2? And how exactly does the Hall of Monuments work? Is it a way to show off all of your accomplishments and also pass down your gear to a future Guild Wars 2 character?

BM: Eye of the North shows off the Norn and the Asura as well as foreshadows some of the plot that makes up the foundation of Guild Wars 2. Without going into too much detail, the Hall of Monuments is an instance that allows you to immortalize all your character has accomplished. The accomplishments reflected range from stuff casual players can earn to making sure the hardcore players get rewarded for the more spectacular feats they have done. Based on those accomplishments, we will have all kinds of neat stuff in Guild Wars 2 for newly created characters to "inherit."

Yeah thats what I do when not doing misions with my other characters.

There is a good LB farm in the Desolation with the quest a Show of Force (in Hard Mode)

Its also good for Sunspear points as well.
