Guild Wars - Eye of the North - Expansion (Jora Sleeve) (Video Game)

The best yet! My girlfriend and I play Guildwars together and have adventured our way through all three of the previous games. We're very experienced mmorpg'ers with a long list of other games behind us. We bought the 'sneak peak weekend' pack for Eye of the North and have been playing it since Saturday. It is BRILLIANT! There are many changes and improvements to be enjoyed in Eye of the North. As well as instantly recognisable ones such as new skills and weapons there are more subtle ones too. Let's start with the music. When was the last time you heard someone extol the music in a game? It's wonderfully atmospheric, unobtrusive and really adds to the richness of the game. The design of the world is lavish. In some games you see a very interesting game item such as a statue or a doorway and then notice it again in ten other places. Not in EotN. Each location is unique with it's own features which have been lovingly designed. It is possible just to walk about slack-jawed in wonder at some of the locations. The world itself has the atmosphere of an ancient Scandanavia that actually feels cold and covered in snow; much like the deserts in Prophecies felt hot and covered in sand. NPCs in EotN are an interesting lot, changing into bears and being 2.5m tall! The structure of the missions seems to have changed subtly too. Whereas in previous games there were main missions with interesting side quests, the side quests in EotN seem to intermingle with the main missions in a new way that really adds to the experience. You are faced with decisions over which path to take and how to proceed. Although this is similar to previous games, here it seems to have been really embedded. Add to this the list of missions available for the solo player only and you have a great deal to do even if your girlfriend is busy and you just fancy a quick challenge in the game. These missions give rewards which can then be swapped for items such as crowns which add to your attribute points. We're loving our sneek-peek and are really looking forward to receiving our full version of the game from Amazon when it is published next week.

Guild Wars, the best value for money, no-monthly-fee MMORPG. The Guild Wars player count is increases with every new release as its finally becoming one of the leading online games thanks to its no monthly fee and stand alone campaigns (minus Eye Of The North). Its been a few years since Guild Wars was first released and with two follow up campaigns and the new expansion theres lots to do for the casual or hardcore gamer. With the introduction of GW:EN and its high-end content for your high-end characters it adds alot more for players to explore, keep busy with and progress their characters. Eye Of The North works as a bridge, expanding the lore ready for the new playable races in Guild Wars 2. While you cannot bring your characters over to GW2, your accomplishments will be displayed in the Hall Of Monuments featured in Eye Of The North, a private instance of your own monumenting your achievments. Guild Wars, best MMORPG for your money, no monthly fees making you come back for more.

Buyer Beware I have also played all 3 campaigns through, and currently have 14 lvl 20 characters. It is a truly amazing game.... for a free (no subscription fee)MMORPG. It does however suffer from 2 badpoints. 1. Its free so you get some nasty little urchins who rip people off with scams!. so if you buy GW go to one of the many reputable fan sites and get clued up on in game scams. 2. Lately the servers have been suffering incredible strain, in part due to the regular ( most weekends )events organised by ANET. The events are aimed at keeping players occupied whilst waiting for the next chapter.. it can get rather repetitive at times... but if you want a good sound introduction to MMORPG you really can't get better than GW at the moment, its cheap and the graphics are outstanding

No Collectors Edition I have played all the stories, but for some strange reason still prefer the first, but there all great.I have all the collectors editions, and I think it's a shame that anet have not done a collectors on this, seeing as it's the last one.They say because it's not a full blown story like the others, just an addon, but I'm sure it will be good. Other race's would be nice, as there are going to be in this, sort of a follow up to GW 2 I spose. Fight alongside the char, I done that in a mission in nightfall, so who knows. I do agree with what soemone else said about changing the story, they all seem to go down the same route, or link somewhere with what you done before.TBH I cant wait for it to come out.

NEW RACE i suggest that with the new guild wars or a new guild wars to come there should be a new race im sick of playing humans why not charr or some other race from factions or elona that would be good as humans are always the same if you complete the game then you do it again with the same race same storyline CHANGE IT
