Guild Wars Factions takes the game to a new world called Cantha, which is reminiscent of Asian and Chinese culture. The new world is obtainable only through Factions, and players who have characters in the Guild Wars Prophecies campaign (what Arenanet is calling the first game) can easily transport them over to Cantha by means of a giant transport ship that travels through Cantha and Ascalon. Factions also gives players the chance to try out two new professions, the Ritualist and Assassin. Players who own both games will also earn two free extra character slots per title, meaning you will have a combined total of twelve character slots. [/quote]

HI-larious. http://igo.ampednews.com/gamehub/2152/previews/477/

Someone should go tell them to actually call the company before writing a review. I read the rest of the article, most of the other stuff is also wrong. I half expected it to have the new classes wrong too.

Main reason I found this article was that I was looking around for a complete skill list of the new factions skills for the core peeps.

Oh, and there are even grammar errors. Don't rely on this website for shit :P

All articles are speculation than the known sources of interviews and articles we have now, doubt outside sources would be dependable.

This sounds like a school report written by a 9th grader, including the speculation that the assassin (omg an assassin!!) might easily become the most feared classes in the game. Assassins are gonna be the new wammosfor Factions. I doubt that I'll be fearing them anytime soon.

That's mainly correct. You earn 2 free slots PER TITLE (after chapter1), meaning for each new chapter, = +2! Combined you will have 12 (4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2).

Reading comprehension ftw.

Well, seeing as how the article was talking about people who own "both" games, "both" as in 2, Adding all those extra chapters that haven't come out yet wouldn't make any sense. As far as I'm concerned, 4 + 2 != 12.

That's mainly correct? I don't know what reading comprehension tells you, but my reading comprehension tells me the article obviously isn't talking about chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5. It's talking about one new chapter being added on to one existing chapter, assuming that each chapter automatically gets 4 slots up front, and stating that you get two slots per title (remember it's talking about just chapt. 1 and chapt. 2) added onto the the already staggering 8 slots it assumes you already get. This is obviously in no way correct.

So, to repeat myself, and 500 other ppl on this forum, just in case someone just wandered in from the middle of nowhere:
Prophecies + Factions (unmerged) = 8 slots
Prophecies + Factions (merged) = 6
Prophecies + Factions + Ch.3 = don't talk about it, it'll only confuse more ppl.

It's ambiguous to hell, but basically what it says is.

Players who own both Prophecies and Factions will also earn two more free slots per additional title they purchase. The wording was bad, that's all

The rest, however, is inexcusable
