To answer my own OP, I actually was in the betas etc for 1.0. Had a whole LS with some good friends going into launch. After a while, though, people started to leave. The LS fell apart and I only tinkered with the game here and there because I loved the world etc.
I switched characters since my first one had an RP sister that wasn't playing anymore. Even still, the highest level I got to was 21 PUG with some random lower level classes. I never even entered a dungeon. So for the most part this game is still totally new to me. I actually now wish that I had played more of 1.0 to have some better context to the new story, but, what can you do?
I'm debating if I want to return to my 1.0 character. If I did I'd likely change how she looks and give her a whole new story. Otherwise, I'm going to make a new character and start over.
