Guild Wars 2

Very kind of you DreamyAbaddon, but I just shut things down. However, I think I figured out the answer to my own question… all races start the game near their capital cities, and all capital cities have an asura gate to Lion’s Arch, so I presume that is the easiest place to gather together quickly.

Thanks. Follow-up question: how do we go about getting to the same zone, and how long will that take? We are all different races, so I guess we all start in different places?

I’m just getting started and have three other friends that are playing as well. We’d like to play the game as a group. How do we find each other at the start of the game? I added one person to the party, but their picture is blacked out (they are on a different instance I presume). We are all on the same world. How far do we have to go solo before we can meet up, and how/where do we meet up?

Thanks in advance!

Wow! Thank you everyone for all of the advice

Finally purchased GW2, and I will be playing through with my wife. We don’t have a ton of free time, so are unlikely to be able to explore multiple professions. So, I’d like to make the most of one playthrough. Any advice that experienced players can offer on “fun” classes, particularly those that complement each other well, would be appreciated.

Thanks!
