Well, I for one would just like to say that it's been 2 years I haven't played guild wars and I am just starting to get back into it pretty hardcore. Guild wars is not dying anytime soon. Hell, tons of people still play the original everquest. I have Nightfall and have just purchased pro+EOTN and plan on being around for a long time so anyone who wants to can be in my party anytime they want. I was looking at GW2 but to tell you the truth it doesn't really seem to offer anything all that groundbreaking IMHO. There are new people joining all the time. Besides I have gotten pretty attached to my characters.

Which is better to get if you have Prophesies and Factions? Nightfall or EoTN?

Nightfall has a ton more hours of game play + story line + quests.

Eye of the north is a much better place to play

but is very short in hours...

Hi
I have been playing GW a while and have all expansions icluding eye of the north, i might get the bonus mission pack but no rush.
Even though iv been playing almost 4 years now i still and probabbly never will understand the shortnamed terms you are using above, they could mean anything to a newomer, agree?

My experiences & recomendations...
1- Prophacies - very slow game but the skills given off quest giversmakes up fo it as you have to spnd less points buying skils and have moe to uber upgrade, also as it is the original & Eye of the North is the expansion, only then you realise how mASSIVE and emersive the game is Eyeof the North story lines fill the gapsin your brain where you get the thaughts, i wonder what will happen to.......everything ties in and introduces 2 new controlable heroes at the start Vekk an Elementalist & Stonehamer a priest healer.

2- Factions - If i could only buy 1 i think this would be my last choise unless you like leveling to 20 fast and dont mind the lak of game story content, but i have to admit, the assassin is one of the best if not the best DPS ingame in arena combined with a mesma - unstopable lol.
Also the REitualist is an amazing build act as a protetor a healer Ritualist/Monk builds are very common because they are brill and then Ritualist/Necro - Ritualist/Ranger give the pet/minons extra power due to their trait.

3 - Nightfall - The Paragon has to be one of my favourates, it used to be Ranger but now Paragon, just as effective with extra armor and chants to aid yourself as well as team mates, Paragon/Rangerhas the lot, steel armor, spears/bows a pet, chants, traps, brilliant defence - gotta love em.
The Dervish, like a Monk but figt up close with a syth and has high DPS just like assassin exept you heal yourself as you strike with you syth moves, maybe even higher than warrior, a popular build is Derish/Monk for high DPS and protection spells and the Dervish/Paragon for DPS and chants.
I think if i could only afford to get one, it would be nightfall, most up to date features, most players, fast leveling driven through quest story lines, really emersive.

these ar my oppinion and mie only, if you dissgree take itwith a pinch of salt and bit me

. lol...jk.

I find Nightfall to be the most new player friendly campaign. Also in my opinion, it has the best skills, and it has the best features. Nightfall can get you to know exactly how the game works, it can get you really thinking about technical things such as building builds, and it has the best story line.

Dytonis Strom · Jan 18, 2010, 12:45 AM // 00:45

I would say wait till the deals come out. If you wait a while you might find a good deal in the nc soft store or at your retailer. Like eotn/ campaign combos etc. Or bundle packs with all three games .

Fedetic · Jan 18, 2010, 05:06 PM // 17:06

I started with Factions and it didn't disappoint me at all, I quite enjoyed it.

After Factions, I didn't know which one to buy, so I asked my friends. They all said to buy EOTN, since it has dungeons and some other stuff.

Now I'll buy proph or NF. (Or maybe both at the same time)

I dont regret the way I went through this game.

NickyKK22 · Feb 23, 2010, 10:34 PM // 22:34

I bought The Game of the Year Edition of Prophecies but now they are selling a 3 pack of all the campaigns for around the same price i bought prof for. Nightfall is the funnest imo because of the Dervish and Paragon. Also because it has Heros.

Nightfall because its easy to get the hang of, plus you get Paragon and Dervish which are imo the best professions. And you get heros

Noobie Wan · Feb 28, 2010, 12:08 AM // 00:08

Just picked up the complete collection for ??15 from amazon UK, thats all 4 games for under $23, the offer was just too good to pass up.

I do have the original Prophecies campaign from several years back, didn't get really far, my attention wandered else where after completing pre searing. Thought i lost my old account, it was only after i created a new account then realised characters had a 2nd name. lol then took me half a day figuring what my old character name was to hack back into my old account...

Fusylum · May 01, 2010, 12:36 PM // 12:36

Trilogy is a great deal now days

That is a great idea

teebagg66 · May 12, 2010, 06:37 PM // 18:37

question about the trilogy deal: I have nightfall already, if I buy the trilogy can I just add prophecies and factions to my existing nightfall account or am i going to have to make a new account?

Don't know for sure but I believe each game will have it's own code.

*Darcy* · May 31, 2010, 10:31 AM // 10:31

The Trilogy has one access key. If you add it to an existing account through the Add A Key on your log-in screen, it will add any campaign or features you do not already have, but will not overwrite any existing characters.

Ultra Tom Beast · Jun 04, 2010, 02:49 AM // 02:49

You should describe some of the quest in each of the games like how long are the quest or are they easy medium hard.

*Darcy* · Jun 04, 2010, 02:55 AM // 02:55

You can read descriptions of missions and quests on the wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page which is also available in the game via F10 or Help on the menu.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but anyone got a Nightfall trial key I could use ?
