i am certanly going to buy guild wars nightfall, because im a great fan of the game series. i own both prewious chapters (prophecies and factions), althou my opinion is that factions are not as good as prophecies, and i think nightfall will be much better than factions. factions seem like they have been made really fast, in a short time, and you can notice that when you play the game. you can finish all 13!!(only 13 missions) in 3 days, and you can do it mostly with henchmen, which is not good for a online game, since the point is to play with other players. howewer, nightfall will be different, it brings more control to the henchmen, brings in the whole new hero sistem, has 20 missions, which i think will be great based on what i saw during the event few weeks ago.
the nightfall will be released next week, on friday, and i am sure going to buy it the same hour the stores open!!! you should all do the same if you like guild wars

yes i have been thinking about getting guild wars factions for a long time now. i decided i am gonna wait till i get my computer which should be soon. Im not sure if i will get nightfall anytime too soon after i get factions i will probably want to play that one and beat it or get close at least. i havent played it but its free and all of my friends that have it says that it is great. and i like rpg's alot so i think i will like it for that reason. and i like games where you can play with other people around the world.

just a quick review of nightfall, which i have been playing hard since the hour it was released . i have not actually finished the game (completed all primary objectives), but i have gotten pretty good feeling about the game. it is good, no-one can say it is not, missions are well done, but there is a problem called heroes. it was supposed to be a great new twist to the game, but i have come to the sulfurous desert(almost end -game) and i havent done not one mission with human players. i sure hope this will be changed at the very end, because it is not good for MMO to be played alone, i mean, there is no point in that, since MMO-s should tend to be played people-with-people, noth people-computer(or player alone).
otherwise, new professions are quite good, dervish is like wa/mo(meele weapons with spells and some healing) with hammer on steroides, but with good new approach to the game with enchantments, his skills and even slower than hammer scythe wielding.
paragon on the other hand is like ranger with warrior armor, good support unit with shouts, but i havent really gotten into him, so i will report about that another time.

another mentionable thing was in-game halloween event, which has taken place in lions arch and kamadan. cityes were decerated, and changed in the way of halloween. merchants were cacoons, there were ghouls, you really had to see it yourself, it was great. also mad king came, and just as last year entertained people with various games as "paper rock scissors" and "mad king says". he appeared evry 3 hours in cityes mentioned before, and at the end of each wisit he gave people pumpkin masks!!

to conclude, a really good guild wars (extended) weekend is over, and i cant wait to continue exploring elona(by just finishing the game you explore really little, less than 50%)

(forgive me for mistakes, spelling errors etc, but im really short on time, sorry)

Guild Wars was an awesome game for the longest time. I was hooked on the game for at least four months. However, unless you keep buying all the new Guild Wars titles that keep coming out (Factions + Nightfall), no new content is added to the game. I personally can't afford to buy a 50 dollar game every 3 to 4 months or so. I played the original for so long that I started to do things in the game twice, which is mainly what caused me to quit playing the game. The plus side of this game is that it does not require a monthly fee to play. For people who want to play a free MMORPG that is easy to learn and play, Guild Wars is for you.

heh, i know that problem, no new content if you dont buy new chapters. as for the price, look at this that way: other mmorpgs have monthly fee, guild wars doesnt, and many other mmorpg are more expensive even when you buy it in the shop - guild wars are really cheap. it costs merly one day of work, and if you look at this that way- in six to four months, you have to work(not even hard work) for one lousy day, to being able to play new chapters, and thats really not much, for others mmorpgs with monthly fees you have to work once in two months, when you already have the game, and thats really not even that much or hard to do... so to conclude, anything can be done if you want it to be done...

Guild wars is a AWESOME GAME, its really different then other games... example: line age, 1 moons, WoW, Fiesta all play solo... but in GW... its always in a team winch I find is great. the PvP is great! the players are friendly and very funny... Its so worth the one time payment of 40$ and if you wanna buy the expansions... they come out around once every year. I suggest trying it to everyone
