I have not played GW in about 3-4 months. I have not got the expansion yet. Do people still play Phrophices?

I have no choice. Factions is way to laggy. That, in combination with terribly overpowered monsters, chases me back to Tyria. I can't fight while my computer is lagging and staggering.
The graphics aren't so nice either.

After I took one of my characters through Factions I returned to Prophecies and have pretty much stayed there since.

Yup, many people are still playing in Prophesies. All my characters have migrated back there. It's more fun than Factions once the "newness" of Cantha wears off.

yep, still play in Tyria......many reasons:
1. have a rit/ele who needs a boat load of skills that are only accessible there, and tons of skill points to get them---so tyria missions get me both.
2. still have some characters that dont have the cartographer or protector titles.
3. its the ONLY place I find staff heads and wrappings in any kind of timely fashion (have only gotten 1 head in cantha with 5 characters playing for the last 2 months.....)
4. drops are better on missions in tyria.............my characters, even with a full henchie group, will fill up 20 slots in my bag or more per mission there....in cantha I am lucky to get one or two items, let alone money.....cantha suuucks for getting loot.
5. up until last month I had only a laptop to play on----cantha slums KILLED me sooooooooo many times due to the horrible lag ( 5 to 10 seconds....cant do much during that kind of lag except die---quickly)....so I spent a ton of time doing stuff in tyria...still dont like the lag but my new computer handles it better.
6. horrible new quests.....and the only rewards are money, xp and equipment requisits---nice if you want to go farming chests (and since the drops suuuuck big time its the ONLY way to make farming pay).....or if you need a new id kit or salvage kit......most of my characters have the xp so its not so much fun and the money aint worth it.
7. just more to do in tyria all in all.....its bigger and there are more areas that are lower level that you can go alone thru.......more fun to NOT need the henchies or a group to get around.

geez is that enough reasons?

Yup, still playing Prophecies. The first thing I did with my Canthan toons after they finished Shing Jea Island was take them to Tyria...

you just need to know where to farm

i make more money farming in cantha than farming in tyria.

Play both, but there are still plenty in Prophecies. I like the graphics in Prophecies much better, it is still the more "in depth" game.

Ditto. I have one character I'm playing Factions with, and only because I wanted an assassin and so couldn't start in Tyria. I've currently got two characters in pre-searing, and I spent the afternoon out with guildies doing Tyrian missions. Some places in Prophecies are hopping compared to some Factions locations.

I deleted my Cantha born character, I could just never get into the ritualist, and the assasin never appealed to me (too skinny, and the way they run!) - I am one of the ones who likes chapter 1 much better - just started an ele in pre-sear too.
