Which game has the most people still playing. - Guild Wars Forums

crazygamer901 · Nov 20, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

I've been looking into guild wars and want to try it out. So I've been looking into the games and it's between the first one (prophecies I guess you guys call it) and nightfall, cause I heard factions wasn't that great. But if I were to get one I think i would get the first one. But anyways I was wondering, which of the 3 are the most people playing online, because I want the one I get to last the longest so I don't have to buy another very soon. Just wondering, between factions, nightfall, and prophecies, which seems to have the most people playing? please answer that question, but as another quick question, which game do u suggest I get? I want a game that will last a long time. thanks for all of ur help and suggestions.

Most people play Nightfall for the heroes, but Prophecies definitely has the better storyline. Basically, heroes are fully customisable hench that are made with poor programming and refuse to use most skills.

factions helps whit your clan when you get 1 this way you can play AB + you can lvl up really fast in factions this way you wont get bored lvling up but ill recomend getting factions + gwen or nightfall because you get heros and they help

nightfall probably has the most people playing it (not including eotn as a chapter). however, most of those people are getting through the game with heroes, so with the exception of a few of the harder missions, you might have a harder time getting real people to play with.

get them all or don't bother....having one or the other is about like having a nice car but only one tire

Yes.

Since it's one big world, not having all campaigns will severely limit your eligibility with regard to builds, as well as gameplay.

And if you intend to play solo, then it doesn't really matter.

QFT.

Yes, You can enjoy guild wars A LOT more if you get all 3 and the expansion pack. Just start getting a part time job.

That is a lot of money for a new player to put down on a game he doesn't know about. Wait for friday when some stores are selling the original for $10. Get it, if you like it, go to the online store and buy the expansion, eye of the north, and with the purchase of it through the online store you can get the other chapters for 50% off.
