LOL was thinking of buying everything aswell. Damn.

Buy from offgamer. I manage to get all under RM100 last month. This including EOTN

Yes should be under RM100 aswell. Just now I saw the trilogy is at RM67+.
And the EOTN is RM19+.

Will try to purchase tonite. Hopefully before midnite.

Tried to look for your character calson but you were offline.
Any other players? IGN?

Mine is now Orlando Tu. Created new one. Warrior+Monk.

whoa, guild wars that cheap now?

the only thing i dislike about this game is that:

1) there's nothing much to do after you get like around 2/3 chars at the end of the story...and well...u repeat the same story every single time u start a new char...lol

2) the rubberband lag...my god, it's horrible...=(...and it takes a long while to get a dl completed during the transition phase to a new area/ arena battle...(you could get time outs and be kicked out of the arena after u finished dling the map...and everytime u enter the arena, the same thing happens at a highly often frequency, lol)

the good thing is that:

1) it's pvp focus, thus, it's really balanced gameplay

2) u can take like 10 years off the game, and ur char still remains the "same standard" like "most" of the other ppl, u WILL get rusty though, lol

anyway, to play guild wars2, u dun need a guild wars 1 account, and even if u have a guild wars 1 account, the data will NOT be transferable to GW2, which is a shame, kinda...

u guys are lucky to buy all 3 at rm100 though, bought my prophecies at rm 150 IIRC...XD

oh, and i have:

1) 20 ele/monk (story completed)
2) 20 warr/necro (story completed)
3) 08 ranger/ mesmer (got bored of the game, quit like 2 years or so liaw, lol)

Tried so many RolePlayingGs. Mainly free, just to find a suitable game for my needs.
I've played some P2P but its becoming tiring. U need to commit becoz u think u have paid for it. If not, u will feel "rugi".
So at least games like GW, its a ONE TIME payment. Can take my sweet time to play.

I have to disagree with you there since your comments are solely based only Prophecies alone. I do however agree that Prophecies can be a bit slow because that's how the 1st game was made but some people like to take their own sweet time to finish the game. For those who like adrenaline rush can try Factions as most of the missions are timed so the faster you complete the mission the better the rewards. Nightfall can be consider the most well develop game as the pace of the game is just right there's a lot of new additional content you can't find in the 2 previous game.

You must have an extremely poor internet connection since I do not face the lag problem you described. You can use the "-image" command to download all the content at once to reduce the load time of the game.

Have you tried Hard Mode, Elite dungeons & Achievements ? These are things you can do after you have finished the main story. There is also Guild Wars Beyond that is implemented recently to link the storyline of the current game with Guild Wars 2.

Didn't you heard about the Hall Of Monuments that allows you to get special items based on your achievements in Guild Wars ?

->LostWanderer

Please don't give your comment based on just Prophecies alone if you haven't even try Factions & Nightfall.

->EightPhantomz

I'll let you decide on you own whether to get the game but I can tell you that it's really worthwhile to get the Trilogy + EOTN since you'll get access to all the content. If not I would suggest to start with Nightfall + EOTN and get the rest when you desire.

Planning to get the Trilogy + EOTN from Offgamers tonite. Got Xmas discount.

Does the free trial version allow me to play online with other players? Noob here

this is an online game after all, of course you can play with others, trial or not

What is the normal price?

can i play with just eye of the north ? no previous xpansion

Trilogy = RM67.70
EOTN = RM19.32

Added on December 20, 2010, 11:23 pmYou need to have at least ONE of the three (Prophecies, Factions or Nightfall).

What i meant was what is the usual price without discount? Or does it mean it has been this cheap for a long time already?

Based on the prices stated by players in this thread, its becoming cheaper now.

lol, why the fire?=_="

anyway, i enjoyed it (GW) for quite a while, until it begin to become a little repetitive for my taste, thought of getting the expansions too...but the lag is just...bad, on the ping side of story...usually will reside between orange and red status...and it's pretty common if one to google search it...of course, if things were smooth, it should be a whole lot more enjoyable...and guess what, i'm using streamyx, just like most of us (malaysians) for our internet connection.

it's a worth buy, i must say...i don't dislike the game at all when i got it (i don't dislike it now even, but i just didn't like it as much as the time as i got it)...but guild wars 2 is coming out most likely Q3 of next year...so i'll just play that instead...XD

and thanks for the -image tip, i didn't know that exist, ...=)

oh, and i did try out nightfall for a while, when they just released the game and had a "free trial" for it...can't remember much about it now though...it's been ages anyway...lol

i know about factions and nightfall too, where factions are more regarded for pvp and nightfall for pve...however, many critics did rate prophecies as the best, coming by nightfall and next, factions...but yea, now since that we can get the game in a trilogy, it's worth every cent (till gw2 is out i guess...XD)

Bought the whole set last night. Managed to download everything this afternoon thanks to that "-image" tip.
Had a problem to login at first. Realized that theres "game account" password to reset. Which can be done via ncsoft account management. if I remember it correctly lah. Resetted my ncsoft password which didnt effect at all. LOL.
Managed to play for awhile before went to office for nightshift. Took my character from Level 2 to Level 4.

I see some ppl can go up to Level 20 in a week. Wow.
May I know how many hours u play in a day?

lvl 20 in a week is not "that" difficult

in fact, u reach lvl 20 when you are around 50~70% into the story, depending on how much u are rushing it, lol

Hehe. I would probably play around 1~2 hours a day. Anybody wanna hook up in game?

This weekdays, I'll be playing around 3PM to 5PM. Working on night shifts.
Then wont be playing on Xmas weekend.

IGN : Orlando Tu (Warrior/Monk)

a week?

Factions - 1 to 20 in a day.

Prophecies is the slowest , but thats because it was the first game. They learnt from it and made a newbie island for Factions and Nightfall. If you play either of them as long as you do all the missions and quests in the island you get to level 20.

Another thing they learnt was the pacing and length of missions, thats why the Proph missions are very very long and tedious and involve a lot of running around. The Factions and Nightfall ones are shorter (the bonus usually is finish the mish in record time) .

The reason most ppl recommend you to start from Proph is because
a) the backstory for Eye of the North is there
b) you'll appreciate the other expansions
c) the slower pacing allows you to learn easily

most people never start their alts in Prophecies. All my alts were created in Factions

Honestly I prefer Prop over other expansion.
At least the journey to Kyrta is EPIC. and then to EoTN.

Faction somehow I'm quite confuse with the story. *I need to replay this when I got time.

Nightfall story are quite balanced and well, around there, but not as good as Prop from what I see.

For the time being, I stuck in WoW first. then will be back for achievements stuff while waiting for GW2.

PS:Oh ya, I liked GWEN.
