While I’ve been talking a great deal about Guild Wars 2 a lot lately, it may be a good time to note that it has that 2 at the end…

Like Guild Wars 2, the game doesn’t have a subscription fee. There is the original game, and three expansions, Guild Wars Factions, Guild Wars Night Fall and Guild Wars Eye of the North, which sort of bridges the game between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2… But you can get Guild Wars and the first two expansions for only $29.37 at Amazon (see link below). So for price of just one of the first two expansions you get all 3 and never have to pay a subscription fee. With the first game you get 4 character slots and two more for each expansion pack so that should be 8 character slots in the trilogy pack, add two more if you get the Eye of the North expansion.

Given how great Guild Wars 2 is, I wonder how many people who skipped the first Guild Wars went back and got it?

Best Deal:


Or buy separate at greater cost…
The main game:

(Now to be fair, that is Game of the Year Edition, and includes a bonus that would cost you $4 if you buy the trilogy above)

Factions:

Nightfall:

So basically for the cost of one expansion you get the main game and the first two expansions…

If you want to complete the collection there is of the newest expansion that connects the original to the upcoming game…

Of course at minimum the game you should get is Guild Wars 2… which is a bit different than the original.
