Thank you, will update my client and take a look over the weekend. What does the level cap move to now?

It doesn't move.  Level cap stays the same, more content and other stuff.

I, for one, look forward to trying out the new Raid with the gear I didn't farm much for 3 years ago knowing that it still works.

Well, I hadn't intended on spending any money on Guild Wars 2, but I think I've already had £20s worth out of it so I brought the expansion this morning.

Most of us play in Gandara.  It's better if you attach your account to Gandara server due to bonuses and other stuff.

The game is good.  It's a different take from other MMOs out there, and the core game (pre-expansion) is free.  By different I mean that you're not competing against other players for every single thing, like say in WoW.  You are actually rewarded for helping others out, party or not, and everyone gets their fair share be they in your party or not.  It's also not a monotonous clickfest, you have to stay alert and doge attacks, move around and adapt to the environment.

As an added bonus, the art style is fantastic.

Okay when I go to play it tomorrow i will start in that world thanks for that. I haven't played much MMOs being a console player the only one I really played was defiance ( if you can count that ) I have just stared a firefall after uni recommending it and seeing you all playing it. Is there anything I should know about this games look who i should be or anything ??

Apart from server selection, it's pretty straightforward.  Just go with what you like.

Perhaps you can watch a couple of videos explaining races and whatnot, and see which one you fancy.

Yeah i will do, normally just play a male human but I like the 8 classes you get to chose from give it a very nice aspect of customisation to the game, I am looking forward to giving this game a go, have to try and get uni on here so he can help me but i doubt he will lol

Above all, read the quest log. If you do this and follow it, you will be a beacon of hope to all players in any mmorpg :)

There's an achievemnt tracker which explains what you need to do for it in text.
If you're in-range of an event or a heart, there is some text in the top right corner of the screen which informs you what to do to complete it.
