Do you plan on unlocking map-travel with a level 20 character and jumping right in, or do you plan on creating a brand-new character and playing through the entire game?

Creating a new character has the advantage of letting you see the whole story from the beginning, although if it's anything like factions you won't be missing much...

and of course starting with a level 20 lets you start with full skill, attribute and max armor...

I'll probably start a new character and bring my old ones over later.

I'm going to bring my Necro and Warrior over, in that order. I'm not going to spend any cash outfitting new characters and might as well play with my old ones after buying them nice stuff...

Then play through as a dervish once you don't see D/P and P/D in every town.

I'm very tempted to go and start a mes para since i'll be able to heal have a little more armor and go after those rather odd looking elites.

That or send over my war since he has all my shiney stuff and people might be playing the "noob" classes

Starting a Paragon, then taking my characters over to Elona..
It'll most likely go:
Warrior
Necro
Monk
Ranger
Ele

then, maybe a Dervish.

Nice schedule buddy, I'm assuming that you have no work and play 24/7 without sleep to beat the game in 1 day Im bringing my war over first then I will make a para, then I'll think about my old necro.

I'll make a dervish first because I played Paragon during the event. Beat the noob island with it, and unless I really really like it i'll bring my warrior over and beat the game with her. Then go back and play a dervish or paragon whichever i liked better.

I plan on Starting a Paragon and getting it through the game. Then I'll bring my Mesmer over and get her through it next. After that, who knows? I may, if it's possible, bring my other characters over and get heros for them. Or I may just get busy working on titles for those 2 characters. Or mix up my game play between Nightfall and Prophecies. Gee, I may even jump all over whatever new uber-leet area they've put in and farm it for a while.

The only thing I'll do in factions is get the storage upgrade for new characters and maybe the occasional AB. That's it.

Taking all my old characters through first.

Nightfall will be a repeat of Factions release -- Towns filled with 99% dervish and paragons spamming LFG (but thank goodness for Heroes, so maybe it won't be quite as bad as Factions). Not to mention the materials needed for Dervish and Paragon armor, runes for D/P and weapon mods for D/P will skyrocket. Plus it's easier to breeze through as a monk or necro

First I'll take my Ranger over to Kamadan to get the Gray Giant, and then station him there for the time being. Then I'll recreate my PvE Necro to play the game through the eyes of an Elonian character. His progress will pretty much lay the groundwork for what my other characters can expect when I take them through.

Then somewhere down the line, I'll finally get around to a Dervish and Paragon.

Call me old fashioned but I believe a fresh campaign should be started with a level 1 char. Like many others I want to see the whole story unfold and will be starting with my Dervish called Circum Sizer.

I'm taking my monk through Nightfall first. I'll be going for 100% exploration and other maxable titles. Then it's NF green farming to get the most out of them while they're still insanely priced. After that it's female dervish FTW and getting her Obsidian armor if I like it enough.

I'll be creating a new character in Nightfall, either Monk or Mesmer, to play from the beginning to the end. After that, who knows? I don't plan my life (or games ) like that

1. Make a Ranger and beat Nightfall (All Quests, All land explored)
2. Bring my Necromancer over, beat Nightfall. (Skip quests)
3. Bring my Assassin over, beat Nightfall. (Skip quests)
4. Reroll my Warrior, if theres no new armor that covers his ugly face.

I haven't decided, but I'll probably do a little both. I loved playing a dervish during the preview, but I'd like to see some of the higher levels as well. So, I'm thinking I'll create a new char, play a little, and then take an existing toon over to explore. Who knows? I'm going to play it by ear.

Yea I think I'm going to bring my warrior over first too, so I can take advantage of the good farming while it lasts, especially greens.

Plus, my warrior was my first character I ever made, and was the first to go through factions, so only seems right to take him through Elona first.

In order:

Monk, Rit, War, Necro

Then I make a Dervish, get 15k armor if I like any of it, then I go back to pvp.

Will grind my characters through it: Necro, Ranger, Warrior, Monk, Mesmer, Assassin. I plan on getting 15k Elonian Assassin and maybe Mesmer armor too.

Then start a dervish and/or paragon and possibly getting 15k armor for them.

Okay more serious comment then last time:
I'll be making a Dervish first (I made a Paragon during the preview event). Maybe beat the game hopefully because it will be new so everybody else will be new to it as well, so that helps ... I haven't beat Factions yet. I don't have the motivation. And it's so damn repetetive.
So hopefully Nightfall is more entertaining, and hopefully I'll have my new comp in a couple weeks so I can learn to PvP as well.

Start with new Dervish and get the storyline.
Bring my Necro over to steamroll the whole thing.
Start a Mesmer.
Start the Warrior I had to kill for the character slot. Although I don't know if I'll start him in Elona, Cantha or Tyria.

I'll be doing the storyline with my good old monk first.
Due to mainly two reasons:

First is, once i'm done the dervish/paragon rush will have settled down a bit and people will slowly calm down and stop calling every dervish a noob. I'm quite sure that we will see a lot of dervish hate just like with the Assassins. With the same prejudices as well. 70 AL and most people know shit about mainting and managing enchantments which is a key element for a dervish to be efficient and survive. Anyways, most will chose their elite by looks, not by what it does. Leaving everyone with the "omz0r lol balthazar rofl" avatar while Avatars like Grenth will be hardly ever used.

Second, i plan on getting FOW for my dervish. But i won't be buying it blindly so i'll wait for someone else to buy it and brag about it with screenshots. I'll thank him and decide then.

Pseudo third reason: I'll play the material market for a while. Shortly after release a lot of common materials will skyrocket.

new character, of course. a dervish, no less. I'll probably be grouping with guildies and a couple heroes to fill the remaining slots.
