You can get them to Tyria (Prophecies) once they reach the port in their own campaign (The Consulate Docks in Nightfall and Kaineng Center in Factions), but you can't start out in Prophecies with those classes unfortunately.

By the fact you like Rit and Para the best, im guessing you want to play a support role, damage buffs, heals, damage, protective abilities, etc.

If you want to start in prophecies, some classes to look at would be an elementalist, with monk for a secondary, or maybe a necromancer with a monk secondary.

As an Ele/Monk, you can put out damage, blind your enemies, snare your enemies and use wards to protect your allies. And from the monk secondary you can use protection spells to aid your allies, use smiting skills to buff your teams melee classes, heal allies, and remove hexes and conditions from your allies.

No, you cannot, but I think that's a GOOD thing. Factions is faster than Prophecies and I personally didn't like Prophecies a lot. Nighfall is by far my favorite game (ISTAN FOR ONE), plus heros and inscriptions fast, no battling stuff when traveling, etc.

To add on to this: if you port them over to other campaigns, you'll arrive at the port cities of that campaign. So you'll end up in Lion's Arch in Prophecies, skipping quite a few of the initial missions. But you can always go backwards and do the missions you missed out. However, whereas a Prophecies character can access Shing Jea and Istan, a Factions or NF character can't access Presear Ascalon since it's a time rather than a place. (No missions there, though.)

I kept seeing Gw's mentioned on sites like Mmorpg etc. but never paid it much attention, guess I was a cheapskate at the time (while playing Flyff, lol, I wasted a lot of cash on that game, f'ing Penya lol).

Once I bought Gw's it has kept me interested a lot longer than the free rpg's I played and you can trust me, I tried a lot.

Ugh, that game was such a colossal grindfest. I played it for a couple of weeks at most, got pissed off when killing an enemie wich took 30-40 seconds of repeated button mashing would only give me like 0.1% XP towards the next level and dumped it. Gotta love Guild Wars for that, I can play the game without having to spend massive amounts of time getting to level x so I can play the real content.

At first you will be very limited in the choice of skills you will have, you can move points around when your in a town so experimenting isn't a problem.

You would aim to have points in whatever element or elements your using and some points to increase your energy pool.

Press K and check through your available skills and you will see what effect adding points into an area does to the skills.

For attributes, focus on putting them mainly into your main element at the moment (probably fire), as you gain more attribute points, you should probably invest in healing prayers. Although you may wish to go more towards the protection prayers side of things, or put some points in another element.

Just remember for spells like healing breaze (one of the first healing skills you get), only put in enough points to meet the breakpoint, e.g if with 5 attribute points, you get +6 health regen, and with 4 attribute points you also get +6 regen, it would be better to only put 4 points into it, as you get the same amount of regen, and more points to spend on something else.
