Guild Wars 2

I still have the standard account (bought the game on it’s launch in 28 august 2012,3 years ago).
My simple question is what can you and cannot access in HoT? I can’t access the new maps and the new elite specialization + fractals lvl 51 or over and raids/new dungeons? You can’t buy new armors and materials from the trading post? Etc. I will be buying HoT in maybe 2 weeks and was wondering If I was still able to play it as normal.

Yeah, you can still play as normal. Your level will still be the same as others with HoT but you will miss out on the Masteries and added content in the expansion. PvP has been updated for the core game as well as WvW. A lot of changes will be made to the core game and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the game with or without HoT! I have for 3 years and now it’s even better. =)
