Greetings. I'm downloading a heap of patches as of right now, so I thought I'd ask some questions to the GW2 community. How's the game now? I can't really say how long I haven't played for, I'd say at least a year, maybe year and a half. I didn't really make it that far, maybe to about level 27 or around there so I have yet to grasp the full concept of the game. The reason I turned my back on the game in the first place is both due to WoW and the game itself. Some features of the game, like the whole "explore the whole map to level", kind of turned me off at the time. Since WoW is really the only MMO that I made it really far into, I've become accustomed to its play style and how things work within the game. I guess what I'm trying to ask is: how does GW2 work? I get that for leveling you explore a whole zone that's appropriate to your level until you're ready to move on, but past that I don't really know anything else. What else should I be doing? How do dungeons work? What is the first thing I do when I reach max level? What about crafting? How does gearing up work? There are so many things about this game that I want to know about, but I'm sure that some of you know that changing to a new MMO is confusing and, such as my case, turn you away from the game. Is there a site dedicated to all of the info I want to know?
Thanks for taking the time to read my half-wall of text, and thanks to anyone who can provide some clarification.
TL;DR: I know almost nothing about this game except how leveling works. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
