Old Ascalon - you can go around on your own, without Henchies. But that gets boring fast. What's the point in beating up little lvl4 thingies and getting... oooh! A staff with cold dmg 5-7!! AND +1 Energy! YAY!!

Factions is good too. A bit annoying with all the tutorial pop-up's, and conversations you ought to read come up in boxes. But the graphics are good, nice storyline so far, and the fact that you can take Canthan characters to Tyria and vice versa is a nice touch.
