Guild Wars 2

I was there when GW2 was released played for about 4 months and dropped it.
i`m currently downloading the game and wanna give it another go from the start(not interested in the level 80 boost ATM)
is there any reason to buy the expansion from the getgo or should i play a bit and see if i wanna keep on playing and buy it in a later stage?

thanks in advance <3

I don’t think there’s any reason to buy HoT right away. Just play the core game for a while, then you can decide whether you want to go on.

HoT is aimed at level 80 players. Apart from gliding and some quality of life improvements via the HoT progression system, I would play from core and get it when you are at the point of progressing.

I agree with this. If you like the core game a lot, then go for HoT.

The next expansion is also just a few months away, and will include HoT.

I can’t give you a date but it is likely going to be before Christmas.

Thank you very much for the tip guys!
another question, is there a “recommended” EU server where most of the community is?

All servers share the same maps in PvE. Server choice only matters for WvW.

Welcome return, and good luck.

The only reason to buy HoT immediately is if you really want to play a Revenant. Otherwise I would wait until you got a character closer to 80, since you won’t be able to get into the HoT stuff until then anyway. Might as well see if the game sticks and keeps your attention long enough to be worth the $20 first.
