I am getting guild wars and am wondering which to get?

Question

I am planning on getting guild wars and i am wondering if i should get prophicies and nightfall or prophicies and factions

Answer 1

Each Guild Wars is a stand alone game you know, you don't HAVE to buy Prophecies. So you could do Factions/Nightfall or just one of them.

Here is a brief rundown...

Prophecies
-European fantasy themed
-Long story quests
-No unique characters
-Most skills can be quested for
-Slowest leveling

Factions
-Asian themed
-Lots of PvP conflict
-Has the assassin and ritualist
-Faster leveling

Nightfall
-Egyptian themed
-Mostly PvE with one new PvP feature
-Heroes (customizable henchmen that level with you)
-Has the Dervish and Paragon
-REALLY fast leveling
-Most skills must be captured or purchased
