Thanks. I'm still considering whether I want to join an active guild. There are things I'd like to do (like Urgoz/Deep/DoA HM) that I either can't do alone or that will take a lot more time alone than with other players. On the other hand I don't want to be in a place where other people expect/"force" me to play a specific schedule. I was in a WoW progress guild 2004/5 and while that was fun, I'll never comit to that playstyle again. I bought a fresh 2nd account with the sale as well, I use it to "store" my own Urgoz ferry, donate additional heroes to my Urgoz-runs and an elemenatlist and assassin to quickly run my toons from the main account through Imperial Sanctum, Ruins of Morah and A time for Heroes when those Zaishen missons are up. (I still need lot of Zaishen Coins for bag upgrades, they didn't exist yet when I left). That 2nd account could save guild leadership of my old guild. I also use my own guild to freely switch between Kurzick and Luxon if I want to dump faction.

Hi. I returned after ~16 years. I started with Nightfall and shortly after bought Proh/Factions/Eotn and stopped playing around early 2009. Beginning this year, I found my old game boxes with access codes and asked ANet to recover my account (I didn't have my password any more), and to my surprise they did that after asking some more information. I created a new main, mesmer this time. My previous main was an elementalist, but I didn't want to depend on enchantments any more since enchantment removal is ubiquitious. And mesmers got a lot better for PvE while I was away. GW made me guild leader of my old casual PvE guild. all other players are gone. But since the guild has a fully upgraded guild hall, this is now my private "home".

I now try stuff I never experienced "last time", like doing DoA, Urgoz or Eotn dungeons alone with heroes. This week, I did my first time ever HA, which is now pretty much PvE as well, since most teams seem to be bots or single players (like me) with 7 henchmen. I even got to see the Hall of Heroes some times, standing no chance against teams with multiple human players - but it was nice to be there anyway. This was out of curiosity, my focus will be PvE. But now I have some Z-keys as a "souvenier".
