If you mean how many games, there's be 3 when Nightfall comes out. 27th October if I'm right.

Guild Wars: Prophecies was the first chapter released. Guild Wars: Factions was the 2nd chapter that was released. Guild Wars: Nightfall will be the 3rd in the series.

ok cool and whats the differences between the games as in builds etc? just sa slight break down would be good as im used to wow. i understand raiding isnt as many ppl etc. but yer just a simplifying break down. seems a bit more complicated

Since the games can be added to the same account to facilitate travel between each continents, builds generally mix skills from all lands. Also, GW can't be compared to WoW. There are no raids, for a start

how do you obtain good items and things in this game if there are no raids at all? just monster drops/shops..?

You have them crafted, or you get them from Collectors, or you buy them from other players, or you pick them up after you kill something and it drops it for you...

ok thanks. and the game ends at lvl 20? is there still quests and things to do once you reach that?

Faer · Sep 30, 2006, 04:30 AM // 04:30

The level cap is level 20, yes. However, as I often say, "Guild Wars isn't about getting to the cap; it's about what you do after you reach that point." The most intense and enjoyable parts of each game happen after you reach level 20.

sounds good =]. one more question in wow you learn magic or spells every 2 lvls is it that same in gw?

PvP is a great example of this.

In Guild Wars, you can obtain any skill available to your profession at any level. However, some can be rather difficult to obtain (Elite Skills which must be captured in high-end areas, for example), so you won't see many lower-leveled players using them.

On the L20 subject. Simply hitting L20 is not enough. After that, there are an additional 30 Attribute points to get (by way of 2 separate quests). Also, to gain access to Fissure of Woe and the Underworld, 2 high level explorables accessible from any campaign (Basically, if you want money, jump in here

), you need to Ascend (In Tyria, it's called Ascension, Canthans call it Weh no Su - Closer to the Stars).
