Anything changed since I left?

Hi,

I've had some problems with my computer so I stopped playing the game for quite a long time now, but I'm going to be playing again once I get my new computer.

So I have to ask, has anything changed after I stopped playing?
I stopped playing a few weeks before Factions was released, and a few days after the preview of Factions.

Thanks for your time

yes guild wars is dead now!
evicerate lost 9 dmg...OMG!
the sky is falling!
its the end of days!
wont somebody plz think of the children?!

/sarcasm

yeah a lot has changed, including a skill balance that just took affect today. id hit guildwars.com and skim through the updates to start with, then if you have any specific question, it'll be easy to answer. kinda hard to sum up like six months in a single post.

Chapter 3 "Nightfall" is also due at the end of October so that will bring more changes.

Guildwiki also includes a list of the updates and will include some commentary, links to new items, etc.
