    This seems pretty awesome. I play GW regurarly, and this will probably increase the experience by a lot. I mean, two new classes FTW. Way to nerf like all builds already out there XD
    Also, this game is (unlike common belief) not a regular expansion pack. You can use it like a expansion on a existing account, or buy just the factions game and use it without acces to the Prophecies campaign (the original campaign)
    I'll have to play trough the original story once though. I hate getting in groups with n00bish swedes. (I am swedish myself, so no offence, but most swedes are actually wannabes that got drawn into gaming by Sk.swe being the best cs 1.6 clan out there for a while...)
    EDIT
    Reading this trough, I detest my inability to stay on topic :rofl:

    Expansion packs = same account, sexier things, D2, WoW, etc.

    All have expansions and use the same account ;)


    Factions won't be as great as the great Pandas and bloodelves ;)

    You DO know that it won't be the pandarens for alliance? Blizzard said that themselves =P
    Anyways, what had that part about expansion packs to do with Factions?

    I've never been a fan of GW, I did however play in the beta event and it wasn't all that bad.

    This looks interesting, but not worth it IMO.

    You will also be able to buy more spots for a price of 9.99 USD this summer in case you want one of every class.

    I didnt preorder factions, but am planning to buy it, itll be well worth the money to get a black Moa Bird for myself.

    I shall render/post my awesome characters soon ;)


    Been playing GW since it's retail release, didn't get the chance to play the beta :( Pre-ordered Factions, but cancelled my CE order when the store told me I'd have to wait until June 30th to get my copy, as I was too far down the list, then went out and picked up the normal copy. Have, since then, gone and placed an order for the CE though, mainly due to ANet's newest news on the topic ;)

    A/W = best mage/tank slayer in the world varying on your skills
    Ri/Mo = best healer based on skill setups

    Ever seen Orison of healing healing into the 100s? 5 energy for upwards of 100 healing. I dont own factions tho, I just made those during the preview events. I dont play GW anymore, I have 4 full accounts of level 20s and each character is worth close to $250 average. Damn it for me not having a credit card to use on eBay to sell it.

    lol Im not gonna add Factions to my GW account!!
    Unless you get 4 more chars!! l
    if they dont add 4 more chars for factions of my regular account I would rather make a new account so I would have 8 chars and 2 accounts!

    And only be able to go to one of the continents on both one? No thanks, I merged mine.


    @.Dementia: Why yes, I have seen orison hit 100's, and it wasn't from a Ri/Mo. I'd still take a Monk primary over a Ritualist/Monk any day.
