• • How different from 2-3 yrs ago?

  • PvEwise, yes it is worth the come back, the content has been upgraded to a certain extent (not always in a good way, but that is just IMO), as for the PvP side, DO NOT COME BACK, you'll just change your current opinion of how geat used to be Guild Wars. All the veterans left (there are some exception ofc) and there are no big rivalties like the QQ/iQ one... No more epic fights, all there is now is a meta and people running it... and some oldschool guilds that tries to innovate and does succeed (credit to dR). I don't know much about the GvG side, but from what I've learned, it has become a mess. The balanced was f**** up. It's just not the same feeling. As for Heroes' ascent, it has become , truly, a mess. There are no more 8 active district but about 2 and a half (the last one only counts as a half). FOTM builds infest and the format as changed (to the worse). People don't innovate anymore, and they play for fame. All the oldschool players left (except Chamalee, and Leeloof, but that's another story). The game is dying in every aspect of PvP. TA now have ONE active district. HB well its HB, nothing much to say about it. People became obsessed with ranks/titles/shiny shiny emotes and that killed the whole spirit behind GW1 (before factions came out), when being creative > being r14 or champ 7. And it is true that to survive(if you ever come back) you'll have to buy all the other chapters, because the meta is so thight now, and people STICK to the current-meta, that is has became impossible to play with only the first chapter. People just don't have the same "drive" like in the old days... and it is understandable (the game is getting older, and people feel that they have tried everything, now it's time to farm fame/champ points much?). Many of the top guilds has been SOLD for real dough. (I'm thinking about DF, eF, ...). The legendary Guilds died (EviL left, VOID left, even WM is not what it used to be, iQ is dead, QQ is dead (some of their members are in dR though), all the good HA guilds are dead. Oh and yes, holding does not result in the server to get the favor of gods, since now the favor of gods is linked to PvE titles achievements.

     

    So to sum up that big wall of text, do not come back, the veterans left and the blood is not renewing (blood renewal :P -- ok that was a bad joke but MEH). The atmosphere is just different, there's no more innovation but only 1 FOTM build. Ohhh my I remember when there were mesmers in every HA balanced as well as 3 monks, and holding builds, and even ViM...
