Just looked on steam at GW1 and theres a lot of different ones on there. Game of the year is £12 was thinking of getting it. Looks fun but not sure, what one should i get if i do get it, and is it worth getting now?

Did you end up getting it?

Yeah, I'd say go for it. Have a good old play-through at your leisure; try all the different classes too. Take your time and it'll be a nice primer for GW2.

Should have got the Trilogy pack, you are really limiting yourself with only having Prophecies.

I noticed that guild wars 1 names are reserved for guild wars 2. Does anyone know the naming policy for GW1 names? for example is it just 1 word, or can names be 2 words such as "Dist Somthing"? and if someone already has reserved "Dist" or "Dist something". Can i still use "Dist Somethingelse"?

Limit of 20 characters including spaces, alphabet characters only, must contain at least two words. There's also a broad filter for offensive words.

Naming in GW must not be more than 19 characters, use more than 3 characters, contain 2 or more words.

So your example of "Dist Something" would work as long as the whole combination had not been used already, in which case "Dist Somethingelse" would be your alternative.

How much effort does the GW1 stuff take that gives the unique stuff in GW2? For example could I buy GW1 on steam and spend a couple weeks doing it, or would it takes months of work and require guild effort rather than just solo content?

All depends what you want to unlock (see http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) and how much effort you want to put in.

I reckon you'd need 2-3 months to get around the 30 points mark, which could mostly be done solo, but that would take some effort. More than that and your really grinding at that point.

This HOM guide may give you a better understanding of whats required. http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/comprehensive-hall-monuments-guide-t9683.html

Just watched the first one.... *wipes away dribble* .... i can't wait for this game!

think this will be the first mmo i'll ever play pvp on, never been at all interested in that before but the WvWvW looks amazing!

EDIT: that yogcast one... these people are seriously invited to join in with a press event? They sound like a pair of complete idiots!

GW1 names are atleast 2 words, but from what we've seen GW2 names can be a single word, so no single word names will be reserved.

Nothing but good from reviewers so far. All saying this is the real next gen MMO. Also liking the mention of how crisp the animations are and the skill activations are compared to SWTOR.

Also look at the size of the WvW map in that BFF report just looks amazing.

I want this game now. Hoping they announce that next beta will allow early guild wars 1 purchasers in
