should i buy guild wars the original or wot?
Stormfall
That's up to you. You don't need the original Guild Wars to play "Factions", but if you get both and link them together, you get access to all of the content from both games - all areas, skills, items, quests, missions, etc. So there's an advantage to getting both, if you want to have everything, but ArenaNet purposely designed Factions so that you wouldn't have to buy the original if you don't want to.
whiteyboi
well which is better?

Oranges are much better than apples.
Morangen
That all depends on you. If you dont have it right now, but are planning on getting Factions, then you may want to wait and see how you like it. If you are missing out on things that you want from the original one, or just want more content then I would definatelly get the first one. For some people, however, it might now be worth it.
Like Stormfall said, Arena Net made both games as stand alone products so you dont need to get all the games if you dont want to (another great idea from Anet).

Apples anr much better than oranges. (I live in Washington)
I'd say go for both...start with the Prophecies Campaign (original)....As for Factions, asking about if it's better is a bit premature since it hasn't been released yet.

Diablo???
yes they're both equally good.

It will be hard to really say which one is better until Factions comes out and people have a chance to really go through it. Right now people are expecting Factions to be better, but we really wont know until we play it.

Factions, because then you get 8 professions instead of 6(remember the 6 are the "core" classes which will be included in all expansions).

I say buy both. Link both. Play both.

Both is definitely the superior option.
Diablo???
double your pleasure, double your fun.

If you get into this game seriously you will want both. It will give you much more different build options. You will want those different build options to remain competitive in the factions battles.

I'd say go for both.

I would buy the original GW's and play that until the preview event for PvE Factions. You could then try it out and see if you would want to buy it right away or not.

Lets look atthis from a playability standpoint:
If you buy Factions only when it comes out, you'll have a better opportunity to play with people. Fact is, many people will be buying Factions and turning GW Prophecies into a Ghost town while they try out the new content.
That will change as people move back into farms or start shuffling their Assassin/Mesmers into Prophecies to build the most rounded character they can (there are two quests that give you something late in the game that can be very helpful no matter what your proffession, and they should be open for the Factions toons as well).
And this can be good or bad. More people in missions can mean easier groups for newbs...but it can also mean more newbs grouping together, making mistakes and a steaper learning curve for you to survive. So that leaves the Prophecy diehards; those people who have yet to buy Factions for whatever reason, know the missions backward and forward to lead you through easily...and with no one else to play with, they'll probably be more than happy to take you in.
If you're "locked in" to either or and intend to only buy 1, then go with Factions; you get all the new stuff and most of the old. If you want a great chance to play through the game, have a more rounded character and learn the basics, once Factions first comes out there will be no better time to own Prophecies.
Which type of play are you looking for?

Has'nt all the marketing being pushed in your face told you that every single thing there is to buy is good for you and help live longer but may cause cramps and nose bleeds? you must buy buy buy it all OMGZILLA
Russell.Crowe
I'd say both, 6 character slots+100% content
wsmcasey
I would buy both if I were you also. If you only buy Factions then I think you will feel lost in conversations when other people talk about content from chapter 1. Also, you will feel left out if your in a group of friends/guildies that have chapter 1 that decide to do something there. Unless of course you join a "Factions only guild", I'm guessing there will probably be a few of those.
If your not sure about making an investment of $100 for both games, then just pre-order for now for around $10 bucks and try out the weekend beta event. Then your only out $10 bucks if you don't like game. I'm personally addicted.

If you only want to buy one and not both I would just buy Factions. Most people will probably be playing there. The orginal will probably be empty, eventually, in PvE areas.
Mavrik
Buy both definatly.
