Guild Wars

Am I right? I don't wanna bust out, buy the first release, run outa content and bust out another $40.00 for Xpac or whatever it is they call them. That's kinda spendy for a game.

How long for a casual player, do you think it'll take before having to buy one of the xpacs? I know there's only one officially, but anything that costs $40.00 like Faction, and those additions, are pretty much xpacs.

There is a pack with all the expansions included a lot cheaper, $60 or so. Well worth it.

Oh really didn't know that. That's not bad

for new players, my advice is buy any ONE of the main games, and eye of the north. u are going to hit lvl 10 preetty fast

I have played for a little over two years now. and run multiple characters back and forth between Prophesies, Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North and still have many places i haven't explored yet.

I think that I have gotten a massive amount of fun for my investment, but that is just my opinion. I play warrior, ranger, elementalist, necromancer, dervish, assassin and mesmer class atm but have sampled every class available.

Looking forward to another year of combat and exploration.

To be honest I really don't think it's possible to run out of content in a week. There's no way you'll know the game well enough to be able to finish certain missions. Plus there's hard mode etc etc! I still struggle with some annoying missions and I've been playing over 2 years.

When I played the original Guild Wars and finished it, I decided to build another character. Before I even got far with my second character, I decided to create yet another one. I think character building and getting all the skills is one of the main and fun aspects of the game. And by the time I finished Prophecies with my third character, I bought all the other expansion packs and got started on Nightfall, which is where I'm currently at.

Luckily though, I found good deals on the games and paid less than I would have if I just used the online store.

I think GW is worth the money. At some point in every mmo things can get repetitive. Also you don't have to pay a monthly fee to play.

roughly.. if you can't find a special price..

however let's put this into perspective, I also play WoW though I admit not nearly as much as GW.. (mainly cause some friends play WoW) and I've had it for about.. 3 years.. counting the expansion, so far that's been a 655.64$ investment...

 Ive playd this game since the start casually off and on, somtimes id take a few months off sometimes id play for a month straight 24/7  I just beat the game around christmas and finally bought my first expansion - eye of the north - AFTER 3 years of playing.

Theres tonnes of crap to do in this game content wont be a problem.  Even if you do rush and finish it  its still worht playing during holiday events
