To me, GW1 won't be dead until they close down the servers. I keep returning to the old areas to explore and see the interesting changes that have happened in the two and a half centuries that passed between the games. I like the stories in both games, and looking forward to seeing how the expansions will continue the story in GW2, since the current story is fairly comparable in length to what Prophecies offered when the game first came out (though GW1 did have a few more missions at max level).

I played GW1 for 6 years fairly actively, though casually, since I had 10 characters to walk through the campaigns and quest with. I didn't PvP in the first game and not really planning on doing it on GW2 either since I have those 8 characters to develop and play through the story... What I don't like in GW2 is forcing to wade through the WvW maps for 100% completion, but that's a fairly small negative since I can wait for occasions when our server is controlling those PoI's etc.

I didn't set any goals besides enjoying myself while exploring the new version of the world I largely enjoyed in the first game as well, so there's no rush to reach the "power plateau". And so far the world hasn't disappointed me as I've gone through it, either solo or partying with friends. I still have dungeons I've never stepped foot in, Jumping puzzles I've never finished etc. even after playing for almost five months now (started in the headstart), so I don't mind waiting for new areas to be unlocked, especially with the new rewards the old areas should be even more fun to complete with my alts.

I find saying "Rub rub rub" while reviving someone is a good icebreaker.

You should try it out sometime OP.
