Guild Wars or Guild Wars: Factions?
Jagan
yeah, so i'm thinking of buying Guild Wars, now the thing is.
i know that there is Guild Wars and Guild Wars: Factions.
now i want to know what's the best choice if i want to go play.
does GW:F has the same possibilities as that GW haves?
perhaps i'm a really noob asking this, but i just want to make things sure.
thank you for your time.

From my experiences, If you havn't played either I strongly reccomend buying Prophecies first. You will get to know Guild wars better with prophecies and in my opinion it is a far superior game over Factions. In factions you are basically dropped in at the deep end and left to get on with it. Prophecies on the other hand gently guids you through how the game works through beautiful landscapes, exciting quests etc. So if i was in your schoes, I'd 100% get Prophecies first.
Hope this helps.

Prophecies is better. Use the search if you ever get a chance.

sorry for that.
but however, if i get it right: if i play gw: prophecies i won't see people who play gw:factions and i will not have the 2 new characters aswell.

Prophecies would be better to get to know Guild Wars, however Factions is currently where a good amount of the players are.
It's up to you, if you buy Prophecies and enjoy the way it plays, perhaps you will buy Factions in the future.

is guild wars the same as guild wars: prophecies or are there three different kind of 'games'. (gw, gw: factions, gw: prophecies).
sorry for all these questions, but i'm confused right now.

i would go with guildwars.....
for some reason i just liked guild wars better then guildwars : faction
if you care about graphic alot guildwars faction is ur choice, if u just want long game play that doestn bore you , i go with guild wars, but the other problem with that choice would be not that many people play guild wars anymore....

Again, I suggest Prophecies for the starter

Yes. Definately. The way I see it, Factions is an expansion pack.
Jagan
allright, now there only rests 1 problem, which is:
howmany players do actually play prophecies now?
cause most likely most players went to play factions.
are there still enough players playing prophecies to do quests with and are there still enough active guilds on there?
thank you for your time, once again.

Edit: Btw, if you buy Faction first, you'll lack some skills because you havent Prophecies. Factions has less skills than Prophecies.

For a quality game, go with ch 1.If you wanna punch a hole through you're LCD screen, buy Fuctions.

New Player - Guild Wars or Factions

Buy Guild Wars Prophecies.
Kook~NBK~
There's plenty of people playing Guild Wars (AKA GW: Prophecies). Not as many as there were before Factions came out, but it's not any harder to get a mission/quest group together than it was before, just fewer districts in any given town/outpost.
I'd go with Guild Wars initially, too - more skills, better storline (relatively speaking), more content, the quests are more enjoyable to do. Also it's got a more gradual learning curve so you're not thrown right into the deep end.

Buy Guild Wars: Prophecies!!!!!
In GWP the only very hard missions are the very last one and THK, well this is my opinion anyway! But I enjoyed and still enjoy the game!
Forget about GW:Factions If I knew it would be so hard I would have never bought it!
Today I felt just like Young Hero said, I left the game in disgust after trying for the 'humpteen time to get somewhere. Henchies are stupid; healers don't resurrect, but fight in first line ..... what is going on??!!
Guilds, most of the time, only do Alliance Battle, PvP, GvG etc. etc. PUGs are hard to find, the city is enormous/huge and full of groups of minions that run after you for a very long time!
To Anet: I'm not enjoying this game anymore....... like you care!!
OK! Finished my rant, but I don't feel any better!
*If this post is not apropriate delete it.

no worries here

Also there is a whole different story and alot of different types of land. Factions is more made up of asain land, such as the cities such as the marketplace and kaineg center. Guild wars prophicies has more places to go and better areas. It has many different landscapes suck as jungle, shiverpeaks, desert.and ascalon the ruined land infested by char.
take this info into consideration too..
ps.i suggest prophicies.
