Introduction
This guide is for players new to Guild Wars 2, whether they have previous MMO experience or not. I've tried to make as few assumptions about familiarity with terms and concepts as possible, even though they may seem obvious to veteran players. Naturally this can be a tricky line to walk - I don't want to risk over-explaining very basic things like 'loot'.
There are a number of links to the official Guild Wars 2 Wiki in this guide. It's a comprehensive resource convering pretty much all aspects of the game, and I encourage you to consult it regularly. You quickly access it from the game itself by typing /wiki in the chat box, followed by either a search term or an item link, where you shift-click on an item, waypoint or point of interest to insert a link to it in chat.
Creating a Character
If you've already created your charactrer and have completed the initial story mission, you can skip this section and go straight to Combat.
