Can a core account play to level 80?

Core Account or Free to play Account?

Yes, you can level up to lv80 and have access to all core tyria maps even if you have a free to play account.

Yes.

The only thing a core account can't do is go into expansion maps or use expansion features (like gliding and mounts). Anything which was in the game before HoT launched is available on core accounts.

Free accounts have some additional restrictions which paid core accounts don't have like being unable to use map chat or buy a lot of items from the Trading Post, but they can still play all the core game content.

[Farohna.6247]

Absolutely.  The expansions allow for having elite specs, gliding, and mounts, but all are 80.

[JustTrogdor.7892]

Yes as stated above.  Also here is more info on the difference in account types.  Note it has not been updated for EoD since it has not been released yet.

@Azlen.3047: All that Farohna mentioned plus Masteries, which have a level mechanic of their own: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery

You sure can!  But you are really missing out on the best gameplay and features the game has to offer by not having the expansions and DLC.
