Only you and your party exist in the world outside towns, so there's no need to worry about getting ganked by high level opposing players or anything of that nature. Players interact, chat, and form parties in the various towns, then enter an instanced area when embarking on missions or secondary quests. Nightfall's overall design remains the same as before. If you have yet to dive into the world of Guild Wars, Nightfall is the best point of entry. While the focus of the game is still centered on competitive PvP combat and grouping with others for cooperative missions, the Heroes function to make Nightfall a more appealing title for gamers looking for a solo experience.
Set in the desert land of Elona, the third entry after Prophecies and Factions offers two more character classes, plenty of new story and missions, a new player versus player (PvP) mode, lots of new items and methods of modification, and NPC Heroes. ArenaNet's Guild Wars franchise is back on store shelves in time for the holidays with Nightfall, a new stand alone campaign.
