Each game can be played stand alone or you can merge it with an existing account. It will be this way with every expansion.
 
so you dont get the assassian with nightfall, you have to buy both... darn!

Don't worry about the assassin, you aren't missing much. But all extra classes will be exclusive to their respective expansion. IE Assassin and Ritualist can only be made in Factions, Paragon and Dervish can only be made in Nightfall.

Oh, but I'm soooo going to be a paragon! I love the beautiful, ethereal look, and the skills and style sound perfect for me. I can't wait!
 
The Paragon character model is the same as the Ele's character model, that's why the armor looks similar because it is probably just slightly tweaked and retextured ele armor.
 
That's awesome. It's been many times that I've thought of how great it would be to be able to give the henchies commands. Not only can you do that but you can decide what skills and equipment they bring. That's just awesome. Now where's that auction house!

It's possible that the paragon will get its own, more unique, character model by the time nightfall actually goes live as well, but then again it might not...
 
I'll definitely be playing a paragon. I've always liked playing paladin, support-type chars.

I'm thinking P/W or P/Mo.

I'll try a dervish, too, but I expect I'll stick with the paragon.

Doubtful. The Ritualist has the same stance as the Ranger and the Assassin has the same stance as the Necro.

Kind of wierd, huh? What happened to the Dervish's agility primary attribute?! More importantly, why isn't Leadership the primary for the Paragon?!?!

EDIT: They fixed the article at Guildwars.com now. Leadership is the primary attribute for the Paragon.
