Guild Wars 2

hi so at one point i had several maxed characters and was doing ok and then one thing or another made playing this game too time consuming but now im looking to return but honestly dont know where to start at again. was a part of EXG guild on the sea of sorrows server but i dont know if they still exist or what. well until i finish downloading once again i was just wondering where was a good place to start once i get in game? how has the world changed? i heard lions arch was destroyed which was just after i stopped playing

Welcome back!
Want to re-start? Make a new character!
There have been changes… you’ll see them even in the new player areas.
Luck!

Welcome back! I hope you will enjoy new changes that the devs have made. As Seal suggested, trying out the level leveling system with a new character would be a nice start to see how things have changed.

If you missed out the season 1 or a part of it, you can check this thread:

Some player posted small notes and link videos. I would recommend you to scroll down and see Xiahou Mao post on that thread to see structured recap of season 1.

Hi Darkcyn, welcome back to the game!

Not sure how long you’ve been away, but this video give a nice, fun summary of the main events and changes from end-2013 to mid-2014: https://youtu.be/Oew7usdU53o

Aside from that, I’d say start leveling a character, (re-)explore the world and find out first-hand what’s changed in the time you were away.
