I mean.. will you miss anything, would you be able to understand the concept of the storyline, and will you be able to grasp the game world's nuances?

Just check out the Guild Wars Wiki and read up a bit on the storyline so you can understand the basis of the background lore. I've played Guild Wars 1, and I wouldn't say its crucial or necessary to play GW1 in anyway. Looking forward to seeing you online!
