I had no idea there were people on dreamwidth who liked GW2 as much as i do, i'm happy to know that there is.
i'm curious -- how long have you all been playing? i just started i believe this month or maybe last month because i was looking for a decent and free to play mmorpg (and got very pleasantly surprised LOL, especially the lack of major paywalls / locking you behind levels.) i haven't played for a few days but i'm obsessed with it and it's a beautifully crafted environment.

edit: oops....nevermind. i'm apparently about 12 years late to this party LMAO

Sylvari are basically elves. (nature loving, creative, curious) and charr are basically dwarves (metalworkers, warriors), but I do appreciate the inversion here that the elves are the YOUNGEST race. And humans are among the older races.

For the most part playing multiple races doesn't net you much in the way of additional insights. Heart of Thorns is the only exception; sylvari get a different experience of the story than other races do. That said, there are a lot of places where being a different CLASS will net you a somewhat different experience. Playing through LWS2 as an engineer comes to mind. And there are points in Path of Fire where you have to make a choice that permanently affects NPC dialogue thereafter, so people will often use alts to see all the options play out.It's looking like the latest content also has choices like that.

Story order is usually Living World, Living World, Expac, Living World, Living World, Expac.

Base Game, LWS2, Heart of Thorns, LWS3, LWS4, Path of Fire, LW...I sorta lost track around here. I think I've got all the seasons but I'd have to log in to get them all written down.

That said, the GW2 wiki is your bestest bestest friend. It'll have all the seasons in all the right order, and class/race notes about big decisions.
