Considering that the orginal Guild Wars just came out for them very recently I'm just intrested if Anet is going to be releasing an expansion for them only after about a month or are going to wait to release Factions there.

This is really not a big concern, but I'm curious if I'll be seeing any Japanese or Taiwanese in Factions when it first comes out.

Ye know, I never thought of that. Still, by the time Factions actually releases they'll have had plenty of time to work up, so I suppose all is good.

There are no such thing as "buying box" in the Asian version, they just pay-to-play their way across every chapter.

So if they decided to get into GW when ch4 came out, they would download all the chapters at the same time.

When will they get it will depend on the translation team, which I am willing to bet is already quite close if not already finished translating.

I don't know about Japan, but in Taiwan, they have basicly two ways to play (if you count the 1 week new player trial version, it's 3): buyout which is like American or European, or pay monthly fee. The buyout version in Taiwan released earlier February includes both Chapter 1 and 2, which means those who buy this version can play Factions for free when it comes out. I have no idea how the monthly fee version works, probably they can play both chapters too?

Well, if you actually read the Factions FAQ, you would not have even bothered posting this question.

Yes. Guild Wars Factions will be released in America, Europe, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau on the same date.
