I started playing GW with the Factions campain about 4 months ago, I have just finished the game and would like to buy a new campain, my dilema is such: I can only buy either Prophecies or Nightfall but not both (due to time constrainst I can't play both), could someone please tell me which one is best
Thanks in advance.
Prophecies or Nightfall?

Keep in mind that not that many people play Prophecies anymore and you will have difficulty completing some missions without heroes (from Nightfall). IMO go for Nightfall because:
- 2 new professions.
- Gets updated more frequently
- More players.
- Better graphics
- More challenging

If you have time constraints, I recommend Nightfall. Prophecies requires a lot more time to go through, and if you're used to a Factions pace, Nightfall will be a lot more suitable to your play style.
As one who bought Factions first and Proph second, I found myself completely spoiled by the experience rewards in Factions and found Proph way too slow in leveling for me. That is just where I'm coming from, though.

Nightfall is just more fun... Better story, better visuals, better gameplay options.

I'd say Prophecies coz that game will eventually not be able to be bought anymore...
As for people in Tyria, theres still a loooot more people in Tyria then there is in Cantha so a matter of having noone to play with is close to nihil.

Nightfall is a better game - especially for someone whos played Factions
unless you enjoy spending most the game under level 20 ...

So if you don't that will limit it.
If you do then ofcourse you can do whatever you want
But yeah i guess you're right there.
Should've writeen it a bit better i guess

Go for Nightfall, the heroes alone means its much more useful than anything tyria would give you.
Ninna
Nightfall also means you can use heroes in other chapters you own
Ive been enjoying Heroes in Factions alot

PROPHECIES!
It has snow!! ^_^ so enough said.
Though I just like the environment variety in prophecies alot better, as Elona's looks too similar all round. Overall I'd still vote prophecies, I enjoyed playing that the most out of all campaigns.

Prophecies. Hands down. Great storyline. Well thought out quests and missions. Areas that have an impact (crossing the mountains was sweet!). And of course... Gwen.
Nightfall is very good thus far. I have no complaints about it, but I just prefer the skills as rewards system used in Proph. YMMV.

I personaly like prophecies better, but demeros is right, not many people are online. But if you do decide on Prophecies, i have a few Characters that ill be taking through the campaign, so just look me up My character name is over <---- there. . .

NIGHTFALL!
I didn't enjoy Prophecies much after the noob section. Too much plodding around, too many pop-up devourers - just too boring. Rubbish rewards and no elite skills, for way too much of the game. It was Factions that really got me into GW and Nightfall has pulled me away from that.
I keep trying Prophecies again, but always get bored/frustrated/angry in a very small space of time.

I think many people overlook that most of Prophs PVE content is for under 20
no thanks

Prophecies. It's the best starting point for the GW series. Thought I agree that if you're coming from Factions you are going to feel like it's very slow.
It has a better storyline, IMO. Something your character can really get involved in. More epic. Definitely when you are starting from scratch. Your character goes through a complete journey, a growth, questing and levelling, whereas in Factions they say we need you, quick, get level 20 so you can fight this stuff.
I have been definitely impressed by Nightfall, but nothing really compares to Prophecies. Maybe you could get Proph now and wait until Nightfall is put on sale in store?
Also it depends on what you want. If you intend on rushing your characters through and skipping missions and quests, don't bother with Proph. Get Nightfall instead cause the heroes are an awesome help.

Prophecies is the best campaign in Guild Wars.
Dark Saga
I think you've got several good arguments here.
Prophesis - Longer campaign, much more varied environements, character growth (i.e. slow accumlation of levels and skills), more intriguing story (in my opinion)
Nightfall - Alot more players (eventhough most are soloing with heroes), quicker leap to level 20, more challenging (I'd say about the same difficulty as factions), heroes and two new proffesions, better cutscenes and a story that is more "alive" (although not as immersive as proph in my opnion)
Personally Prophesis is my favourite, but I am biased since I grew up there

Prophecies is much longer, but is a very awesome campaign. I took my time going through this game, and it took me quite a while before i beat it. You do level up a lot slower than in factions or in nightfall.
Nightfall will have more people in it, you will get the hero's (which are very handy), you level a little slower than factions, but much faster than prophecies, (or at least thats how it was with me) you would have 8 different character classes to choose from instead of just six.
But also there will be some things in nightfall that you may not get beacuse you didn't play prophecies.
So im not really going to say which one I think is better - Beacuse those two are my favorite. Alhtough one outweighs the other.

Id have to say prophecies for one very important reason, there are key skills only available in that campaign that you will not get in factions or nightfall.

I am in the same boat. I have Factions and wish to expand. I am thinking Prophecies, more for the important skills that are not available with factions alone.
