After all this and you don't even have the game yet?! -_-

Try play.com, HMV or Game. The prices maybe different depending on which chapter you want to buy.

Coridan · Jan 10, 2008, 07:43 PM // 19:43

you can get a buddy key buy posting in the sticky for buddy/trial key request...it is the same size of a download as you would normally have when you buy the game...around 3.5 gig or so..

Updates vary...

small update = less that 1-200k
Large update = 100-500-1000 mg

RPGmaniac · Jan 11, 2008, 10:24 PM // 22:24

One last thing. There is typically a small update every Tuesday or Wednesday because Anet has little weekend events every weekend. But the big updates don't happen too often, maybe one a month or once every couple of months.

warcrap · Jan 12, 2008, 01:43 AM // 01:43

you pop the cd into your comp then u have the game but when u start it up it will compress the updates so it will take a while before you can play maybe 4 minutes.

Dante the Warlord · Jan 12, 2008, 02:32 AM // 02:32

For you, i would definately suggest the Platinum edition, its cheaper and very nice since you get prophecies + the GW:EN expansion. Although in certain stores GW:Prophecies has been known that GW can be as low as $10! But in a regular store it should be around $30. PLatinum is around $50-60. Since ur UK, just pretty much divide by 2 to get the amt in pounds, give or take a bit.

gofi · Jan 12, 2008, 12:23 PM // 12:23

hey thx for the update on the updates

and ill certainly consider getting the platinum.If any of u do find a sweet deal on any guild wars game could u pls post it here^^ cant wait to get it.

gofi · Jan 12, 2008, 04:33 PM // 16:33

hey also i heard about guild wars 2.When is it coming out?and has the closed beta started?

Earth · Jan 12, 2008, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Guild Wars 2 won't come out until 2009/2010. Don't think the CB started yet.

I'd look around online. Generally stores will stick to the one price until they decide to put it on sale because:
1) Old game (which Prophecies is)
2) Doesn't sell well (Factions)
3) A new campaign is coming out (Nightfall)

If I was you and you are new to Guild Wars, buy a Prophecies + Eye of the North bundle.

gofi · Jan 13, 2008, 07:23 PM // 19:23

hey thx i will have to look into prophecies/eye of the north.Do u know when price cuts happen?eg easter.

gofi · Jan 14, 2008, 07:38 PM // 19:38

hey guys i love this forum loll it found me a sweet deal on one of the advertsments nightfall:collectors edition for £9!!too good a deal i couldnt miss the opportunity.Can i have an opinion?What do u people think should i buy prophecies then add the nightfall(on the way) or start with nightfall?Thanks.

PS:Remember im a new player to guild wars.

.And still lookin for an answer to above question lol incase your answer is prophecies

lennymon · Jan 14, 2008, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Personally, I think it's best to start with prophecies as it offers the best learning curve from starting. If you are in a hurry to get to competitive pvp, nightfall/factions may be better as you'll advance faster but it's a much steeper learning curve.
