    Really? It still looks very nice to me. Prophecies is looking very dated I guess, but the newer products look quite a bit better.

    Eye of the North in the Shiverpeaks looks brilliant. Snowy mountain backdrops and ice caves make the whole feeling of being there really immersive.

    looks like you cannot get one without the other, Conan looks nice but the gameplay is unexciting but GuildWars looks bad (in my opinion) but the gameplay is good.

    Specs:

    Q6600 G0, Thermalright Ultra 120, ABIT IP35 PRO, 4GB Corsair DDR2, Trusty old Tagan 480u, BFG 8800 GTS 512, Samsung F1 750 GB.

    Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall are all stand-alone games, meaning you don't have to buy anything else to play them. You can either start new characters or if you do a questline transport existing characters between them. The expansion pack requires you to have bought one of the standalone games, and I expect doesn't give you any extra character slots. It also continues the story of Prophecies.

    Expansion recommends characters level 10 and above to play. You can have any of the 3 main games and the expansion. But like Kalniel said, it is more on the lines of Prophecies and sits on the Prophecies continent.

    Re: No Conan Post Since Go Live

    Quick rundown:
    Prophecies - Original Game.
    Factions - 2nd Part of "Trilogy" although doesn't really link with prophecies.
    Nightfall - Story that near the end (last few missions) links in with prophecies and factions.
    Eye of the North - Although it works with any of the games is really an expansion to prophecies, continuing characters and themes.

    Imho Nightfall was the best campaign, easiest to solo with heroes and also had my favorite class (Dervish), I think its also the most played still although I'm not sure.

    You get the same login screen no matter which GW packs you own as its a generic client for all of the games/packs.
