GW2 is pretty unforgiving when it comes to learning about all the stuff you can do in the game.
I created a new Norn (because why not, right?) and ran into a dude with a creepy voice and a mask on. Talked to him and got transported to some village haunted by ghost players. I had no idea what the hell I was doing or where I was, not to mention how to get back again. Good times.
Also managed to get to the PvP area (something something Mists) and was taught the basics of PvP before being guided into a larger area full of people running around and chatting with each other. Never actually got to the PvP part of the thing as I decided that two hours at level 1 wasn't the time:level ratio I wanted.
Last week I found out that you can level pretty much by just doing the race specific area - and yet, not entirely. My level 17 was running around in some area she definitely shouldn't have been in at that level, so she went to the Norn area and got a couple of levels just doing the starting stuff there before going back and finding a new area where stuff was level 18. She had to go back to Norn land at level 19 to get the last couple of thousand XP to level 20. Got those last thousand XP running to the Norn area.
That's when I decided to reroll my Necromancer as a Norn instead, because I missed my Carlton dance. True story even.
In short: There is
so much stuff in this game! Almost too much stuff.
