If you have 15pounds to spend, just go to an aussie retailers site, buy it off them and you'll get it a third cheaper than the price given because of exchange rates.

Could I just buy this: http://www.game.co.uk/PC/RolePlaying.../?s=guild+wars

Yes, yes you can. That's Prophecies, the first game of the series. A good place for newbies as it has a nice slow learning curve and doesn't overwhelm you with having to kit out heroes (customisable henchmen), you can just concentrate on kitting yourself out!

Yes you can. That game is the first one, aka "Prophecies"

Dang it, too slow for Kamara

Ok, So.

I'm going into town to get that tonight.

One more question.

I download Eye Of The North from the Guild Wars website. Why was it free?

RPGmaniac · Jun 24, 2008, 07:11 AM // 07:11

Because you're not paying for the client, you're paying for the access keys that allow you to actually play the game.

Nasadaws · Jun 24, 2008, 07:12 AM // 07:12

Ok, So now where can I find JUST a access key?

RPGmaniac · Jun 24, 2008, 07:21 AM // 07:21

If you went out and bought one of the boxes, there will be an access key in there. The other stuff doesn't really matter, the important thing is an access key.

Nasadaws · Jun 24, 2008, 07:23 AM // 07:23

THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!!

Right so do I need one access key for all the games or does each game come with one?

RPGmaniac · Jun 24, 2008, 07:24 AM // 07:24

Each game comes with an access key

You buy Prophecies, the original. You can make a Prophecies account, using the key you bought.

You then buy Factions, the second release. You can ADD that to your account using the key you bought.

You now have an account with Prophecies and Factions on. Both of them.

The client (which you downloaded) is free, you can get it anywhere. You pay for the privelage of the account on Anet's servers.

If this is confusing, let me know, I'll try to refine it.
