Guild Wars 2

I am just getting back into the game, and I made sure to log in each event during season 2 just so I could play through the awesome content. I have a friend that hasn’t logged in for a year. If he groups up with me, can he at least see the story while helping me kill stuff?

Yep. He won’t any rewards, but he’ll be able to see all the story and take part in all the fights.
