Factions
It can be fast if you want it to be, has the best artwork of all of the games (armors, environments especially), and while the story voice acting was a bit cheesy at times, it had a moderately satisfying end.

I'd say prophecies, since I liked the aspect of not getting to level 20 until you're far into the game, it wasn't easy (at least for me at the time, before heros and cons at least), and, as mentioned before, it had a decent storyline.

Chapter 1 for me. The days before the game became a h/h solo game, oh and before free money was handed out.

Factions was too linear, and NF just made me go "wtf"

I want to like the game as it is now, just can't.

I do reinstall every once in a while when nostalgia hits me, rarely lasts a day on the HDD though.

Nightfall and Prophecies are my faves. Factions I've had a hard time getting into. The super-fast leveling is nice but I'm having a hard time caring about the story or any of the missions. I get frustrated and jump over to EotN or NF for a while. XD

Factions, It was great, Just as you thought the grungy-slummy city scene would never end your thrown into the Jade Sea or Echovald Forest, if you take the time to look around you'll find the designers really outdid themselves, also shiro is Bad-ass and IMO Still the hardest guy to beat in the game

Prophecies was the best. I still was playing the game for enjoyment and teaming with people. The guilds were much closer then and the game was active. Once heroes were implemented guilds stopped playing together as much and Factions just didn't do it for me.

Factions.

Prophecies was lolwut, horrible storyline.
Nightfall was ok but loaded with pop-culture and stuff.
EotN just sucked.

Factions was beautiful, interesting, a wonderful campaign.
Also, Shiro's pretty hot.

Plus Prophecies was probably the only one without a stereotypical big bad guy storyline. I know a lot of people don't like how Prophecies storyline goes all over the place, but I like it. It is the only GW game that legitimately produced "wow didn't see that coming" moments in the storyline.
/completelyandutterlyagree

There is just something about prophecies.

I start my new characters in Factions and end in Prophecies. That should say something. And yes, I bought each chapter as it came out. I still find the original storyline the most blah blah though. I didn't like the excruciatingly slow exp gain and the lack of a mission map which resulted in me running circles trying to find the damn bonus...dang that was so annoying. ><

I know this is totally a matter of personal preference but I liked the pseudo-asian theme in factions as well as the general scenery. The jade sea is nice, as well as the LoTR-inspired petrified forest. And of course...SEIGE TURTLES!!! and urgoz and the deep and CA and AB....

Hmmm,

That will be hard, i like Prophecies and Factions much. Why?
Prophecies got lots of different area's like The desert, Maguuma Jungle, Kryta, Northern/Southern Shiverpeak. Now you play in lots of different area's. So its nice as a combine.

Factions got a bit less of area's only Ministers Island, Kaineng City and Luxon/Kurzick side. You level fast there thats good if you need a farm monk or something and is easy to play You can beat factions in one day

I dont like Nightfall because i find it boring.

I personally love Factions the most. I love the Asian theme and I love how it doesn't take an eternity to level a character to level 20.

Prophecies is annoying and there's so much grinding to start a character there. It can take a long time to get a character from 1 to 20.

Nightfall is okay. I don't mind it but it gets boring at times but not all the time.

I guess you can say that each campaign has its moments.

Factions. Kormir can't compare to Master Togo. And Prince Rurik - he's an embarassment.

Prophecies.
I just getting the feeling that, more than any other, it was a labour of love. There are lots and lots of ideas and concepts all bundled up into 1 big package.
By comparison, all the other titles seem to have 1 key idea that the whole thing is written around, and that's it.

Prophecies
E.O.T.N.

The pugging in proph was pretty fun, those were the best times. Plus it was all new and there was a sense of achievement after learning and growing with the game. It was the only one too, where you had to group with other low level characters... so it could be quite challenging.

EOTN is second because it had the next best storyline.
