Guild Wars 2

So my windows 7 messed up so i had to redownload all my stuff (guild wars 2) its still downloading but will my character still be there or will i have to start over?

Your characters and stuff will be there. That stuff stays on GW2’s side of things.

As long as you remember you login ID and password and only be logged into the game on one machine at a time, you can have the game loaded on a dozen different machines and still have access to your characters. What you paid for was an account and all your account stuff including your character, your bank, your wallet, etc. is on ANet’s servers.

All you loss was your screenshots folder.
