Rejoining game....Whats changed :?

Hey guys im rejoining the game after a while now.... i think i quit around the time nightfall pvp beta came out and everyone was complaining on the uber dervishes. So im just wondering whats changed now? Im going to be getting nightfall soon i have prophecies and factions already though. So basically i just want to know what changed in the core game, skills, new places, events stuff like that... or a place to look at all the game updates would also be nice.. since i checked on the guildwars main page but their updates dont go back far enough/as i understand there were plenty of stealth updates. Anyway thank you I look forward to playing the game again.

Two words: hard mode

dervishes are considered as weak as 'sins now, soul reaping got nerfed, nightfall is awesome, alot of skills got changed, heroes rock, hard mode made "the great northern wall" mission almost as hard as glint, and new minipets.

Go here and read through from August last year.

What?? Nobody's mentioned the biggest change of all so far???

QUADRUPLE STORAGE!!!!!

General

New Game Nightfall
Heroes
Party Search
Soul Reaping Nerf
No more campaigns, and Guild wars has less than 2 years till it gets cannibalized by Guild wars 2
Skill rebalances, and new skills

PvE

Quadruple storage
Hard Mode
Lockpicks
New Titles

PvP

Nightfall Guild Halls
New Heroes Acent Objectives -- No more Altar Building, Hello Killcount
(I think Heroes Ascent was 8v8 at the time of the pvp beta, but it switched to 6v6 for a while)
Tweaks to many heroes Ascent Maps

No one plays HA anymore.
The ladder changed radically.
Anet values Hero Battles higher than Team Arenas or Heroes Ascent.
Don't listen to Giga Strike. Dervishes still pwn. They just aren't as incredibly imba as before.
People still think there will actually be Automated Tournaments. In reality everyone at Anet is laughing their ass of seeing how much longer people will buy it.
Hard mode.
Did I mention no one plays HA anymore?

Ugh many things have seemed to change for the worst....o well all i will do is ra and stuff anyway i like trying out those new weird builds . plus no pressure you get in ha and things
