    I bought the GotY edition of guild wars on clearence for 5 USD. I still haven't opened it, but my brother liked his copy. It is all still up and running, should be ok. Depends on the deal you would be getting.

    Keep in mind a GW2 is on it's way at some point as well, so yeah. 
     
    Also a lot of people don't play the expansions anymore, just the original prophecies campaign stuff. Last I heard anyway.

    There's a good amount of people playing. Most players have migrated to the Eye of the North expansion though. You will find a large number of players in the main cities but outposts are usually dead.

    Its an awesome game and a different take on the mmo experience. Dont expect WoW. The cut scenes show their age now, but graphically it still looks a lot better than a lot of games that come out today. Its a very well made and polished game. I would recommend starting with Prophecies and getting yourself in a guild straight away.

    I don't know how it's doing now, but when I played back before the expansions, it was a great experience. Really fun game.
