Question about purchasing

Post by htuna »

So if I finally want to take the DW plunge with the great sale price.. say the base and an expansion.. do you have to buy them in 'order'.. so I'd have to buy the first expansion? and if so, which one was first?

Yes, DW then ROTS, then Legends, and finally Shadows.

No you don't have to buy them in order, they are all already discounted except the Shadows...so it doesn't matter in which order you buy them. Basically you want to buy the base game first and then really select the expansions you want...but keep in mind that in order to get the Legend expansion you need to buy Return of the Shakturi expansion. So in order to have the newest expansion you will need to by all previous expansions as well.

Hi, for the initial experience I would recommend the base Distant Worlds plus the Return of the Shakturi expansion. If you enjoy that, then add Legends and Shadows. You do need to install them in order, as the build on each other.
