You will be outside Ascalon 2 years later (in game history). The searing has happened, everything has been burned down by the charr. All you need to do is going into Ascalon, there you can team together again, there are room for 4 ppl in teams there. Pick up new quests etc, and enjoy the storyline and the game together

Once you entered the quest with the bots there is no way back unless you start a new character. Move forward instead, there is a whole world ahead of you

literally
99.9% of prophecies is after the searing. And, well, 100% of the other games are too.

You went forward in time 2 years and the other two are still back in the beginner area. If you want to play with them you will need to create a new character and start over. It is impossible to go backwards from where you are in the game.

Yep, you went to the Acadamy and wound up in the future. Be sure to pay attention to the text when taking quests, it'll save you some headaches.

The only way to get back to your friends is to start a new charecter.

Arduin · Jun 30, 2010, 05:21 AM // 05:21

Start reading quest texts.

Pretty sure there is a warning as well when you start that quest.

Come on, everyone on the internet has to develop the ability to automatically ignore big, bright colored text. Especially if it's flashing. Otherwise, you'd actually have to read the spam and ad banners
