guild wars 2 path of fire rock formationArenaNet is inviting former Guild Wars 2 players back to Tyria with a “Welcome Back to Guild Wars 2” event. The five-week long program starts today and is designed to help returning players catch up to the latest season of Living World.

“If you haven’t visited Tyria for a while, welcome back! It can be overwhelming to start catching up, or to know what you’ve missed—so to help you get up to speed on Living World Season 4, we’ll have livestreams, guides, and free or discounted items in the Gem Store, focusing on one episode per week. And we’re starting today!”

To kick things off, Daybreak, the first episode of Living World Season 4 which launched in November 2017 can now be unlocked for free in the Gem Store. Don’t forget to grab your free Tradesman’s Package while you’re at it. Both items will be available from March 26th to April 1st.

Do note that you’ll need to have Path of Fire to play Season 4 of Living World. If you’re thinking of jumping back in, you can use the coupon code GW2WELCOMEBACK to get 50% off the Path of Fire expansion. The coupon, however, is only valid from March 25th 9am PT to March 27th 11:59pm PT so you better act fast.

ArenaNet will also be holding a series of livestreams throughout the week starting on March 26th at 12 noon PT. Tune into the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel to join devs Rubi Bayer and Clayton Kisko as they show you how to acquire and unlock your first mount. ArenaNet Partner Program members will also be streaming content over the next few days. You can check out the Guild Wars 2 official site for the full schedule.
