It's 28th of April 2006. Guild Wars Factions release day. For many people who played Guild Wars since 2005, it's good. But I'm playing GW since March this year and I was punished plenty of times. Now I'm going to make some big cash and buy GWF ASAP. There is one question: Why should I buy Guild Wars and Factions, even if Factions is stand-alone addon? Because of numerous reasons: 1. Both games are great and it's good to have them in your collection. 2. You can transport your character from Tyria to Cantha and other way around. 3. You have six(6) slots for your characters instead of four(4). 4. Many improvements and many players. 5. Two new prophecies: Ritualist and Assassin. 6. You can make alliances with your friends' guilds. Buying GWF is considerable but not important. You can play normal Guild Wars as long as you want. GW servers will not be down because of still growing number of newbie players. I recommend you buying both Guild Wars and Factions, but if you don't want to buy one of them -- then it's your right. And don't ask me to join your guilds. I'm currently in one. Dr4goN PS. In next Counter Attack you will read about: I don't know :)
