    I bought this when it first came out and never got around to playing it. I haven't even made a character yet! So who has this and wtf do I do?

    It is all about how you want to look, pick the race you like the most. The Race skills can be ignored, you won't use them.

    Once you picked your race make your character and make it perfect for you.

    Then you pick your story steps and start playing.

    Complete the first map area your in and then just keep playing.

    The point of GW2 is to make your character look good, or the way you want it and to have fun. The first time exploring the world is the best so take your time and enjoy it. I recommend joining, not making, a guild. With others this game becomes more fun.

    This is not like most other MMO's, the level cap can be reached very quickly and the end game stuff can be done straight away. End game and pre end game in GW2 are the same thing. The only areas of the game you can not get to are dungeons yet as you have not reached that level. That won't take too long though as I said leveling is not hard.

    Once you Reach level 80 just try and get some Rare gear, the yellow one. Remember Accessories, rings and Amulets give you a lot of your stats. So use the Trading Post to get appropriate level versions of these for your character. And a good weapon.

    Also when you start just focus on getting greens and blues and either use them or sell them.

    Post if you have any questions.

    Oh and the class you want to play as matters, though you won't be pushed into any roles in this game.

    Warrior. Good fast melee DPS.
    Guardian. Tough and can take on most things easily.
    Elementalist. Hard learning curve can be as good as all other classes. But you have to work hard at it.
    Mesmer, a good class can do many things. Can take some getting use to.
    Thief. DPS and has stealth.
    Engineer. AOE DPS with gadgets.
    Ranger. Has a pet uses ranged weapons mostly. Has some Melee.
    Necromancer. Great at conditions and single target damage. Has minions to summon and in a recent patch they were made very good.

    Funny, same for me, bought it 11 months ago and never played it. I tried to login, but forgot the password. To reset your password you need your email (check), your serial code (check) and your char name (uh...never made one!). Had to email support for help but they sorted it in about 6 hours.

    Thanks DOW for the advice, I will give it a go too.

    Are there server to play on? If so, tell me where you all are at.

    ok, how to do you select the server? or change one...guess they call them worlds:

    Weets, it is free to transfer if you have no chars, so delete them then transfer, or transfer before you create a char.

    Negative. The keyboard and magic pad aren't exactly targeted at games.
