I played GW1 before Factions but never got into it. Factions sucked me in and remains my favorite GW1 pack. It was a beautiful land that was very true to what you would expect of a fantasy depiction of ancient Asia (unlike other games with…fluffy pandas). The music and design made it feel so mystical. I don’t see how keeping everything European-flavored makes it universal; I would love to see other cultures from Asian to African to Native American!
