Cast Your Vote... Best GW Expansion... GW:EN or Sorrow's Furnace

This is a poll.

Keep comments limited please, dont need any book reports....

Question just came up around my alliance, thought i would spread the question.

Some good points were... price, originality, creativity, rewards, content, game play.

I didnt see any other threads on this type questions so i thought i would start one.

Yes from Anet's news release and wiki, both are considered expansions, though the Sorrow's Furnance is limited to Prophecies only. (when it was released Prophecies was only campaign)

Post your vote...

Considering the sheer amount of content in GWEN in comparison to SF... I really don't think there's any need for this question.

Sorrow's Furnace.



It was free.

Free vs 40 bucks.

I really enjoyed SF.

Prophecies PvE as a whole was more casual with more groups, and a whole new area in that context was great fun.

Never really bothered with SF or GW:EN...

Edit: Voted SF after some thought. Made enough money in 1 day to buy a set of 15k. Plus, back in it's day SF was quite a challenge. No heroes, poor henchies and even worse pugs.

SF was more fun than all of GWEN put together.

SF was a challenge

SF only entertained me for a day.

This really isn't a fair comparison. I mean, SF is so small compared to GW:EN. You might be able to compare SF to other content updates (DoA and Tombs), but this... its too intangibe.

DoA wasn't a content update. It was Nightfall content that wasn't finished. So instead of delay the release, they held that content back.

prophecies already had SF when I started so my vote goes to GWEN
besides i love the dungeons

SF got me to my first 1 mil. So I vote SF.

SF is microscopic compared to GWEN, though both are a lot of fun.

Interesting that 40% of the votes are for SF.....

Not really. Everyone got really hyped over GW:EN, then they played it. No one really knew what to expect with SF, so there wasn't that many complaints. Plus, SF brought greens (sigh) and that is when the game began to change.

GW:EN has quite a bit more than SF does.

SF had a nice amount, not as much as GW:EN but it was free.

GW:EN is just so much bigger and more of a variety than SF.
I voted GW:EN.

Of course, SF is still pretty awesome.

I voted SF it was original, free, + fun back when it came out. Gwen is boring, costs $40 + disappointing recycled content. I kind of hate them both.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was roughly the percentage of people on this forum that play the game because it's fee-free, not because it's different. You know, the ones that are constantly trying to turn it into an MMO and for whom GW2 is being made.

Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Dungeon Runners, Rappelz, Archlord and quite a few others are free. Everyone at some point (well most everyone) had to fork out at least a little bit of money for GuildWars (even SF required the original, commercial game). I'm not saying GW wasn't worth it, I'm just correcting a misconception about GW being free. If you're referring to monthly fees while at the same time talking about people trying to make it into an MMO (which is a category known for monthly fees), then you're kind of contradicting yourself as normal games (non-MMOs) don't usually have monthly fees and therefore wouldn't be 'free' in that sense since the norm is to pay an upfront costs only.

IF GW was free then I could download the client and play it without ever having to pay anything. OR I could use the client and play on a third party server (assuming one was complete and available) without worring about ANet shutting it down. Most games require money when you buy them and GW is no different there. The difference is that it provides more playtime for your buck than just about any other off-the-shelf game out there.
