Platinum Edition
This platinum edition is just a bundle of three offerings: 1) Prophecies (1st campaign), 2) Factions (2nd campaign that this product is based on), and 3) Bonus Missions Pack.

There is only ONE CD-key to type in, and after all the downloads are done, you will have access to all three. See [...] for a testimony from a recent buyer.

See the individual product pages (search for Guild Wars Prophecies, Guild Wars Factions) for more info on the game themselves, since the stuff there are quite comprehensive and need not be duplicated here.

MMORPG without all the BS.
Guild Wars is a sweet MMORPG for those of us who don't wanna put up with all the crap WOW brings. There are no monthly fees to play online, no spawn killing, and it has a much more reasonable level cap (I hit it within 4 weeks of casual playing) meaning that skill determines victory more so than time invested. The ability to teleport to any town you've previously visited cuts out more WOW BS, I shouldn't have to walk everywhere or wait for public transportation in a game. The game also provides computer henchman you can have accompany so you don't suffer from not having a full party when your friends aren't on or if you just don't like playing with randoms. Factions provides two new character classes, the Assassin and the Ritualist providing even more diversity to the game. Factions also has its own missions and lands that become connected to the original game when it is installed. All in all a great investment for those who wanna try an MMORPG without the commitment required of WOW.

Greatest MMORPG ever!
Guild Wars is the greatest Massive Multiplayer Online Roll Playing Game that I've come accross. It's a cheap game to buy, and it's free online play. The run rating of this game I can easily rate through the rough. If you're familiar with the game World of Warcraft, I would definitely suggest this. Several of my friends have quit that game to play this. WoW can be very expensive: $15, as well as other games or online services can be say $5 a month. This game is free play. And with the expansions to the game the fun is easy double, tripple...ect. I have all of the games now, and they don't get old. I've been playing it for over 3 years now. Note that the game is for people of all ages around 13 years of age and older. I would definitely suggest this game. Especially if you can get Prophecies (core game) and Factions (first expansion) WITH a bonus mission pack for a price as low as this. I am amazed. Already have the Prophecies but want Factions, so you're concerned about having two prophecies: sadly, the code will just overwrite the other, so you won't have two prophecies...sorry to burst your bubble.
