Hi there,
i played gw for 1.5 years after the release and i played the next 3 expansions for like a few months.
I'm planning to purchase the latest expansion but is there a way to update/download all the ingame zones content? there is nothing so frustrating like having to wait for 2 mins for the zone to download new content.

also iread that you have to be at least lvl 10 for the new expansion so what do you guys suggest?:
- play it with my prophecies lvl 20 (my favorit character)
- start a new char and play eotn when i'm lvl 10 (like i said i've been away for a while and i dont know if there changed a lot skillwise, so maybe its better to start over for the new skills?)

thx in advance

-image in the shortcut target box to download everything, when it's done, remove it to play the game.

If the ranger is your favorite character then by all means, use it. Eotn is content for level 20 characters, you can join with a level 10 but it will have a permanent boost until it reaches 20 to bring the health, energy and attributes to that level, that can't modify. So it makes no sense to create a new character just to play Eotn.

-image really comes in handy when updating. I have a separate shortcut with -image command on it so I don't have to keep changing my shortcut every time I need to update.

If you buy the retail game you won't need to image it most of the time except for minor stuff or completely new content (HoM, Zaishen Menagerie) since comes with a disc to install.

i still got some trouble with the -image thing.

my target box gives me this: "F:\Games\Guildwars\Gw.exe"
where do i put the -image? i tried everything but it always says that the target is incorrect
