Well i never heard of a thing like that
Always thought that Prophecies and Factions were both standalone and that you could buy them both to play in both worlds otherwise you'd have to stick with either the Factions or the Prophecies world >_>
I've never heard of "Prophecies", as, when I stopped playing GW, Factions was "right around the corner". At that point in time, it was announced that GW would be sold including the Factions content at the same price that the original started at. The only bonus for people who bought the original first (like me) was a few extra character slots.
I'm, naturally, not certain as to what changes were made to how they're selling the expansions; but, the last time I was at Best Buy (late last week), I could've sworn I saw Factions bundled with the original content at the same price as the original.
EDIT - Ah, I see that "Prophecies" is what they're calling the first chapter, now. I also see that "access to the original content" was misleading; the skills, items, and classes are taken from the original, but the setting and story differ.
