I know this isn't exactly on topic but..
I really want to play this game but have never played a MMO. I've always been a RPG player, BG, NWN 1 & 2, Elder Scrolls and such, all on PC, never had a console.

I have watched a ton of live play and uploaded stuff of GW2 and it looks like I've got the fever.
Question is, is this game one of those with a steep learning curve or can this old grey beard (I'm 54) play along and not look bad stupid?

Also, I would like to play with folks that I somewhat "know" so could I join up with your server and get into the guild thing? Keep in mind I have never done a PVP or WVW or CO-OP. I know what they are but that's as far as it goes.

I like killing things that need killing and enjoy the crafting side of games as well, would that kind of player be of use? I don't mean to invite myself, that seems kind of shitty, so if you don't have the interest or room that's not a problem.

If you like questing and crafting there is plenty of that I promise.

its really a lot of fun, even without the pvp.


There is a learning curve but it wouldn't be a barrier to entry..think "easy to learn, difficult to master"
