    <text>For those who don't know much about Guild Wars may think of guild wars games as expansions. But, they are actually stand alone games that intertwine with one another. In other words, you only need one copy of the three GW's to play(Prophecies, factions, or nightfall). GW may not have a persistent game world, however it more than makes up for it through its art direction and cinematic storyline.

Arena net is also making a non-standalone expansion that is coming out in Aug 31st GW: Eye of the North. This expansion features two new races that will be playable in GW2 (not including former enemies the Charr). that allow you your future GW2 characters to &quot;inherit&quot; your accomplishments and items. GW:EN will act as a bridge from GW to GW2.</text>

      <description>Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates some of the more tedious aspects of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a Guild Wars quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you; with the dynamic quest system, your accomplishments have a unique influence on your future.</description>
