you should be able to run GW..you won't have all the bells and whistles since you probably won't be able to run it with max settings.
Factions isn't dead...its just different
No labourers (sp) this isn't a true MMO like WoW
All classes are equal...read on the wiki for more details on them...pick they type that best fits you..and go with it...get to lvl 10 or so...if you don't like it reroll it

-There are no labour professions
-Factions is not dead, the playerbase is just a bit devided between the different campaigns
-the profession of your choice is really up to yourself. I choose ranger because I like fighting from a distance, making me able to survey the entire battlefield
-Minimum System Specs for Nightfall:
* Windows XP/2000/ME/98
* Intel Pentium III 1.0 GHz or equivalent
* 512 MB RAM
* CD-ROM Drive
* 3 GB Available HDD Space
* ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 Series Video Card with 64MB of VRAM
* 16-bit Sound Card
* Internet connection
* Keyboard and mouse
* DirectX 8
So I suppose it should be playable.
-Two must reads which gave me the answers for your questions:

I would up the RAM a bit.. But should run fine. I see the Campains in the following way:
Prophecies: Core, First campain, great to start with, has a LONG PvE campain.
Factions: PvP, Intoduced the Assasin and Ritualist, not so great PvE but still nice to have.
Nightfall: PvE,PvP, Introduced the Paragon and Dervish. Also added Hero's as customizable Henchmen you could call upon. Short PvE though, but still nice.
Eye of the North: Expansion
I would Buy in the following order:
Prophecies+Eye of the North(2-in-1 Pack)
Nightfall
Factions
You can always buy online from the guild wars store:

??) my budget is around £10-15 i.e $20-30.Actually i wanted that order like u said L33t except i wanted prophecies alone but so many ppl have told me abt the platinum i hope im wrong and it fits in my budget 
.On the brighter side i will soon b getting a 1gb ram coz im sick of slowness my damn comp takes 10mins to boot!!!Once i get that i will have 'all the bells and whistles' as coridan says right?PS:Its kind of a gd change lol atleast i get to focus on my fightin skills,the previous MMO's(namely runscape and voyage century) i played i used to focus on the labour skills.a kinda welcome change.
gofi
umm... im not too sure but i think the plaync store is a bit more expensive then other online sites or am i mistaken?

i doubt with your current setup...even with an additional 1gig of Ram will be able to run GW with max settings. That being said..it isn't required to have it on max settings.
Yes normally the PlayNc or GW store is more expensive then other sites...since other sites offer things at a discount to move inventory.
if you are going to buy the game...really try to pickup the combo of Prophecies and Eye of the North.

i am going to get the game loll i will try to get the combo but as far as i hav seen it is out of my budget.Hehe how bad can GW b on medium settings?Another question,ive read on the forum abt new year on feb 7th and there is a special event(summersday i think) so this types of events have the big updates right?And are they a must to dl wht if i wait till its over then start the game will i b able to go on without dl the update?thanks.

Even on GW's lowest graphix settings its still a very cool looking game, but go for the higher your comp will support for some really awsome screen shots.
The event updates are not insanely huge, but you must download them, no way around it. However once you download the event once its much smaller the second time around, and if you use the suggested -image to doanload all files you should get most of the event material as well.
My best advise would be to use the -image either before you go to bed or first thing in the morning and let it run, even on a really really slow conection it should not take more than 2-4hours max.
I have a guild member running on 56K modem and he has little trouble at all.

.Ive got another question ive read i think on the site u r not allowed to buy from ebay is it true?

right don't buy any game except from a store. Most games you buy off of Ebay or other people...will be in use already or banned...so its just throwing money away...then only way to be 100% sure that you get a "valid" copy of the game is to buy from a store and not a second hand store
Edit; For a guy that hasn't got the game yet...you sure do have a lot of questions..i would image you will have a forum title of Forge Runner pretty soon....

hey guys know when a price cut for the game occurs?thanks.
Smile Like Umean It
Uh, they've been out for quite a bit now. Price cuts have happened two or three times now.
gofi

So, you wanna know if there's a price cut for the game during holidays?
Anet sometimes has promotions, but not necessarily for the holidays. And they don't just lower prices because it's the holidays. If you wanna know about sales from stores then you're gonna have to check with the stores. Like I said, there have already been prices cuts. Not too much is gonna change unless you plan on waiting for like, 6 months - a year.

hey guys i got another question.Can i use the -image command to dl all updates after installing without putting my acces key and making an account?
PS:Whts the first thing which comes after u start the game?
PS:Whts the first thing which comes after u start the game?
Smile Like Umean It
Lol, you're not gonna wait that long, but you're gonna wait 5 months, until June.
Funny guy.
And yes, you can do the -image command without having an account. You don't have to pay to download the game.
First thing that comes to me? Uh...well, since I'm pretty much focused on one char for the last month, do I wanna do some HM missions and get that title done, get the last couple of % for my Legendary Cartographer or try some vanquishing, I guess. Don't really do much more than that anymore.

2)When i input the acces key of nighfall:CE( i wont play it) then later when i add prophecies will i b able to start with prophecies and create my char there then later go to nightfall?or is it better to do vice versa?

As far as I know when you do the -image command you get the full program update, all chapters. However you need to add an access key to enter each chapter of the game, so if you only have Nightfall access key then you cant get into Factions or Prophicies untill you add thier access keys to your account.
You can start a char in any chapter, then move it to another chapter. There is little good reasoning behind installing the game and not playing untill you purchase another chapter. Go ahead and start a char, you will learn a great deal and can always delete the char and start over if you find the look of the char(excluding armor which you can update from any chapter) would be better from another chapter.
Also since you can make multiple chars you should concider making more than one, so you can test out each of the primary proffesions. They do play differntly as a primary then as a secondary.
gofi
thx for the info but that was not my question.Let me rephrase.Wt i was askin was if i add the acces key of prophecies to nightfall will i b able to play prophecies first or would it b better to do opposite i.e add acces key of nightfall(bear in mind its CE) to prophecies?
PS:i wont play it coz i wil have to do exams and i want to start gw after that as i hav mentioned many times.This might enable me to get prophecies in the gap thats why im asking the question.

You can play them in any order you like. You can bring characters made from one campaign to the other. However, you can't make a Dervish or Paragon in Tyria (Prophecies) as they are Nightfall exclusives.
gofi
kewlthat means i can add it any way and still start with prophecies.I like the flexibilty of char transferring.Thx if i hav any more questions ill post here.
PS:My nightfall:CE has arrived now all i have to do is wait for my exams to finish.In the meantime if anyone finds gd deal on platinum or prophcies alone post here pls.

heyyyy where u guys lost loll?

Well, it's a forum. No one is getting paid to come here, so it might take a minute for someone to reply.
Also, not really anything to reply to. Look around stores, hunt online. Do a little of the research yourself.
