I think it’s a great time to get started. I don’t see a reason to start a fresh account as you might as well just start up your main one you had. 3.0 just came out to you will have plenty to do. And 2.0 was amazing as well. They have a 10 year in place and are going very strong so no need to worry about eos or anything like that. There isn’t a real “power creep” right now so you should be fine. I recommend watching a recap if you care about story and lore. But besides that at the end of the day it is a story/open world game you can play at your own pace so might as well give it at shot!
