Have you tried to find the old GW1 landmarks in GW2? I've found the old Temple of Ages. At first I never realised where I was but then it hit me. It was quite a nostalgic feeling. I remember sitting in that spot for ages trying to get ectos on 55hp monk. I'll take a screenshot next time I'm on.
I found Gwen's grave and this little flute started playing. It was pretty sad. I didn't really like how they made the second game take place so long after the first one. All my NPC friends are dead
