Buy Eye of the north?

I want to know if I can just buy eye of the north. And will I get an access code with it?

Sorry if its in the wrong forum, I'm new.

You can buy it, but you must have a Prophecies, Nightfall and/or Factions to be able to play it.

Nasadaws · Jun 23, 2008, 07:27 PM // 19:27

Really? My Friend doesn't have any of those...

He plays it.

Then your friend is lying to you, you must have at least 1 of the campaigns to be able to play.

Eye of the north is the only expansion for GW no one can play it without having any of the 3 full games.

Nasadaws · Jun 23, 2008, 07:30 PM // 19:30

He doesn't. I was just there 5 minutes ago playing on it.
I installed it for him.

And, Aren't the campaigns offline?

Kattar · Jun 23, 2008, 07:32 PM // 19:32

It's not possible. You are either wrong or confiused. You can argue all you want, but it's not. It's an expansion, not a stand-alone game.

Installation doesn't mean anything. All of the campaigns use the same executable/data. Only the account key matters. If he is playing EotN, he has at least one of the campaigns on his account key.

And no, the campaigns are all online, as is EotN.

Nasadaws · Jun 23, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

So, I have to buy a campaign now?

So, Can I buy one access code? Or do I have to buy two?

And I wasn't arguing, I was asking. And stating what I saw.

No, all play is ONLINE, and Eye of The North is only an expansion, you can not creat a new character there, and all the game play is Lvl 20.

Could you answer my new question?

The one 1 above me.

Kattar · Jun 23, 2008, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Yes, you have to buy a campaign. You pay for the access code, as that's mostly all that's in the box anyway.

Don't but it off eBay, as it's a scam. Get it from a reputable retailer. Gamestop, EB, etc.

You can buy prophecies and GW:EN in 1 box, it's about 40 bucks. Not sure how those keys work though.

OR

You can buy them separately, and you will get 1 code for each one you buy.

Yes you have to buy a code for 1 campaigne and 1 code for EOTN

Nasadaws · Jun 23, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Well, That sucks.

I need to get it for under ??15.

TheRaven · Jun 23, 2008, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Shop the sales. I don't know what the games are selling for in your local stores. Check out a few of them and see. I checked Amazon UK and they have Nightfall for 15 pounds.

Snograt · Jun 23, 2008, 08:00 PM // 20:00

Just go to GAME. Any of the three chapters for £14.99 plus Eye of the North for £12.99

That's the whole of Guild Wars for less than £58. Or you could buy the box set. For £99.99 ...uh?

Nasadaws · Jun 23, 2008, 08:23 PM // 20:23

I think im just gonna buy a campaign.

FlareStorm · Jun 23, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

I think your friend got the base game + Eye of the North package

That or he saw the login screen and assumed it was only EoTN.

Anyway, you need one of the campaigns(Prophecies, Factions or NF) in order to access EoTN. If you buy then separately, you will get one code for each to add to your account. The GW Platinum edition(which is the Prophecies/EoTN combo pack) though only comes with one key which grants access to both.
