Hey everyone.
I've been thinking of buying guild wars for the HoM rewards and to brush up on the lore in preparation of GW2, but I don't really know what copy to get.
Do you only need EoTN for this or do you need prophecies + factions + nightfall aswell?
I was thinking of getting this;

and then buying EoTN, but does anyone know if the code from EoTN will override the 14 day limit on the other 3 games, letting me play them past that trial time?
Thanks

No, it won't override the 14-day trial that that shop is, for some reason, charging you for. You still have to buy the actual games.

If you wish to try out the game before purchasing, there is a free trial of just the first campaign, Prophecies, available here. Prophecies is generally considered the one with the gentlest learning curve to gradually introduce you to the game mechanics. Unless you are set on trying out a ritualist/assassin/dervish/paragon right out of the gate, the free trial is the best option rather than buying a 14-day trial from a retailer.
There are three campaigns -- Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall. EotN is an expansion and not a stand-alone campaign. You'll need to purchase EotN in addition to whichever full campaign(s) you choose for access to the HoM.
There is also stickied topic on this forum board for new players on a budget uncertain as to which campaign to buy.

If you asked a few years ago, I'd tell you to surely buy GW. But it's too late by now. GW2 is comming out soon and it will cause too many people leave GW1 that it will harldy be MMO. You won't get much points for HoM in 2-3 months.

With determination and a decent guild you can get close to 30 points. Besides not everyone will play gw2 at launch ,so you have gw2 release [launch]( wich could be december 2012 for all we know ) +1 ,2 months.

Plowing through GW1 for the HoM and 'rewards' for GW2 is both a waste of time and money.
Play GW1 for the fun of GW1 - or skip it.

the pre order for GW2 will hit the streets in 5 days allowing u to play all the betas, release is still aways off and all beta events will most likely be on weekends. im a 50/50 GWAMM and i still play helping new people and friends get their HoM and tinkinkering with squirly builds. so u have time to make substantial headway toward your HoM before release. be sure to get all 3 games and the expansion at 1 time......u will have many advantages by doing this.
good luck and remember--wiki is your friend
