Thanks for all of your replies.
I still have one more question before I begin my time on GW2.

Does it matter which server I choose to play on?

Greetings Guild Wars 2 players.

So I just bought GW2 5 minutes ago and It’s downloading as we speak. I’m not new to the mmorpg genre but I am curious about what I should know and can expect from GW2.
For example, can I expect to play with many others in the lower lvling areas or are they already abandoned even though the game is still pretty new?
Are there things one definitely should or should not do?
Is GW2 anything like WoW or should I forget everything I know from WoW and re-educate myself?

Any other relevant en important information for a newbie is welcome.

I thank you in advance,

Helsinkk.
