There are a lot of account upgrade "temptations" now. Play through Nightfall as exhaustively as you can, PvE and PvP, before buying anything else. Like any other game, the original luster can wear thin very quickly and the "no monthly fees" will not mean much if you spent over $150 unlocking content for a game you only play a month or two!
fiontar is right, just play with Nightfall when you get it and don't worry about the other chapters yet. I think that Nightfall is an excelent game an probably the best addition to Guild Wars, but I can't say for certain if you'll like it.
And yeah, seems that a lot of people that are normally inactive are playing NF right now, not to mention the new people. Lots of people in NF right now, in every town and outpost.
I got my nightfall day after release and i have love it, it's best chapter yet. In christmas my game shelf is gonna contain all three GWs yep maybe it's too early to get factions right after nighfall but it' christmas so free game for mee
Today i started new char in factions and in Shing Jea (starting area) there are a lot of ppl. Sure ppl move to newest chapters but after they finish it they go back with new characters and explore other continents. I agree with others.. buy nighfall first and if you will like it buy other chapters =]
Well im a die hard Gw fan, i mean when i first bought it i was damn excited, and when the announced night fall i was even more excited, but when the demo actually hit the area i was damn pissed off with the fact that the only new things were the 2 races, the new map n the new skills + the new story n monsters......and i thought to myself jesus tht aint looking so good after all the hype tht was created about it in the first place. i know it sounds dumb but i was expecting things like instances and a war tht would contain at least more than 8 ppl per side...and mayb a better trading system.....i mean is it me or does the trading system really depress u?
my view is dont keep ur hopes to high.....its good but in the league of mmorpgs, i wouldnt rate it as #1
Thats b/c you played GW wrathex. Nighfalls doesn't add anything new (heroes are just improved henchmens, insignias etc. are just runes) but it's a very good chapter. If you want something new then factions is better if you want more of the same then nf is perfect.
Well, I have not played any of the others campaigns but Nightfall, and I just love it I really liked GW gameplay, first game that for me worths, in my opinion, being a healer I just love my monk , but crap I need to fix my PC, because I messed up with the bios and stuff so now I am on my dad's notebook posting this and I really want to play GW =[
i just bought NF.... and damn it owns! :P im kinda new at this whole GW thing... i playd the original a bit... but only untill lvl 11 and then it got 2 boring... but NF.... NF is diffrent... aint boring like the original... i like the new system " u never fight alone " but with some heroes .. it's gonna get even better when my mates buy the game :O so we all can play xD but yeah.. damn NF is good :P

I always thought GW was great game, but after a while I would get a bit bored. No regrets it was always worth the $50 purchase. But I kinda got distracted from prophecies half way throgh the desert.
But Nightfall is different I finsihed the last mission last night and I could easily see myself go through it again and again with my otehr characters. Part of this is the new heroes which I love and part of it is better pacing and more coherent and Epic story. Especially in the harder Realm of Torment stuff it is really interesting to me to come up with good team builds. Doing a mission other people had been stuck on for a week in 2 tries using an Assassin tank was a real feeling of vindication. Haha die too easy my foot.
Running through the end game area with all the tormented souls cheering you is pretty cool .
I have the first 2 GW games..ive been a huge GW fan since early beta (i still have the same character) and i love it so far. I cant wait to buy NF and join the fun with the rest of u.
