No More Power Leveling?

Those restrictions are solely for free-to-play accounts. New and existing core and HoT accounts can still enter WvW at any level and get to Lion’s Arch at any level.

I bought the game (preordered HoT) and I cant enter WvW at any lvl. It says I need to become lvl 31 first to unlock it.
So the WvW part that you describe is not correct.

That is correct to some degree. They hid the fact that new players can’t WvW until level 31, but if a new player were to head to Lion’s Arch and enter one of the WvW portals, they will be able to enter WvW instantly, at whichever level they arrive there as.
It is just hidden to try and not confuse new players by showing them everything they can do instantly.
Yeah there is a difference between paid and free accounts.
On paid accounts you can bypass this by pressing B and selecting a border, or by going to LA and using a WvW BL portal.
But dont know if these new restrictions to free accounts also affects paid ones now as well…

Okay thanks for clearing that up.
With the new F2P system, new players cannot enter LA until level 35, cannot enter World vs World or Edge of the Mists until level 60. So what options are left if someone wants to level fast? Crafting only?
Buy the game?
All LA portals are locked off until 35 for F2P players and all exits from the starter zones are locked off until 10 for F2P players.

If you’re on a paid account you can get to LA from level 2 onwards and use the portals there to access WvW, it’s just the icon on screen that’s locked.
If you’re on a free account the idea is to try the game and see if you like it, not to power level.
