Late is not lost
The question every late joiner asks is "can I still catch up?" Here the game itself answers: yes, and it will help.
Catch-up XP
The endgame stretch is where falling behind used to hurt most, so that is where the game helps: from level 76, anyone behind the pack earns double experience until they catch it. No potion to buy, no event to wait for; the last climb rises to meet you.
A bag packed for the climb
New arrivals get a proper catch-up pack: a kit of gear and supplies assembled to carry you into the game that is actually being played, instead of leaving you to solo last year's content alone.
Momentum, daily
Fame and daily missions keep the climb structured: log in, do what the day offers, and the progress compounds. Between them, the doubled XP and offline farming, the gap between you and the veterans is a schedule, not a wall.
