Coming back to GW - Guild Wars Forums

echodrome · Jul 03, 2008, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Hi,

Newbie here

. I played GW when it first came out but then I dropped it in favor of WoW (I know).

I am thinking of coming back but with so many expansions I am kind of lost so my two questions are:

What is GW natural progression? Would it be GW->Factions->Nightall->EotN->Bonus packs?

What would I be missing if I skipped one of these expansions?

Thanks for your help

No, you wouldn't be missing much. The stories are not interconnected.

Lore-wise. Prophecies (you referred to it as GW) and Factions happened at the same time, just in different places. Then Nightfall, then EoTN. The Bonus Packs are things that happened a long, long time ago.

But no, you can play them in any order, it won't make any difference.

If your budget allows, get as many of the additional titles as you can b/c alot of the really good builds have skills from all over the campaign. If not, I would suggest Factions b/c it has good skills and the guild faction system.

I'm thinking if you use search, you'd probably find at least 5 0r 10 threads saying the same exact thing yours said, wow included.
