When I got to post searing and read everyone "running to yaks", "running to LA" ... I was wondering "why are they racing places? ... Why does everyone want to race...? Do I have to race in this game?"
No one understood what I was asking... I don't blame them ;P

oh ya, speaking of pre searing....

my ranger left pre searing at lvl 12 (or 15, i dont remember anymore), and this is why....

i have played Fable on XboX before i played GW, and in Fable, when you take the quest that says "no way to return, are you sure you completed everything" was actually taking you to the final mission of the game.

i finished every single pre-searing quest and was getting 0 exp from killing charr, then i tough "well that game wasn't worth my 60$, so freaking short and i never got to max level, might as well just finish it and go play something else."

imagine the surprise after i saw the map.....

I just remembered one from around after my first month of playing:

Discovering on my Ranger/Mesmer that the Rune of Minor Illusion Magic did nothing...

I recall running around with healing breeze, and later heal other... on my ele in pvp. I thought I was being helpful healing people. I added flare spamming with mark of rodgort (which actually worked alright) and meteor shower with glyph of renewal.

Almost 32 months ago now but selling all dyes including black to merch for 1g for about 2 weeks before someone told me LOL

THis is the skill bar I used when I played through Prophecies with my ele (first character)

[skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]aura of restoration[/skill][skill]flare[/skill][skill]troll unguent[/skill][skill]charm animal[/skill][skill]comfort animal[/skill]

Actually it worked quite well, at least for a beginner; even though it has no good synergy between the skills.

<attunements>, flare, flare, flare flare, flare, heal pet, flare, flare, flare, flare, troll unguent, flare, flare, ...

I kept spamming that I wanted to buy a mini in ascalon (post-sear). Finally a guy told me I could buy his for 20k + the gold chaos axe my guild leader had given me.

It was a mini pig....

Courage! · Apr 10, 2008, 07:57 AM // 07:57

i put a black dye on my pre boots really sad

Drews0 · Apr 10, 2008, 10:37 AM // 10:37

Hmmm maybe mine was the time I decided that Uber-ranger-meteor shower-powershot was leet, oh and maybe throw in a trap, a run skill, aura of restoration and dont forget to use a 1337 axe with +27 health

Oh yeah, and i used MONK starter armor (yes the 5 or so armor stuff) through to LA, then through Closer to the Stars, and finally through about 5 HM dungeons. Thats when I figured not being able to survive without full prots kindof sucked...
Now I farm with that armor

and my foot tatoos are bloody red... thought it looked cool
OFF TOPIC!

Though there are other things, this tops my list.

Back in 2005 I got into a FoW group with my ranger, hadn't been before.
No barrage, no Judge's Insight, did have interupts and if memory serves my elite was poison arrow.

So we get through the first several groups no problem, things are looking good. We are getting ready to take on the groups by the Tower of Courage, I get asked to pull, np I think.

Well, I wasn't paying attention to movement patterns. The Abyssal I targeted and subsequently shot was moving back to the rest of the groups, and by the rest I mean all of the bad guys by the tower.

Lets just say that I have learned to aggro since then.

Upon our early return to TOA I was asked to kick one person and then propmptly asked to kick self - had ended up being in charge of party.

Felt like an idiot, and don't like that feeling - learned a lot since

I kept getting my lead attack diverted in Shing Jea when factions came out. I started playing then :|

ShadowsRequiem · Apr 10, 2008, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Playing a W/MO with Mark of protection XD Though I atleast had good atributes. like 9 str 16 weapon and 10 prot

hippo942 · Apr 10, 2008, 03:43 PM // 15:43

I gave 15k to someone in shing jea who said they would "pay me back 100k+2 kunnavangs when I there friend got online" dam I didnt think I was that stupied and naive that people would tell the truth

teng · Apr 11, 2008, 01:31 AM // 01:31

i usualy spent about 400k on all the characters i deleted and i remade it a few weeks or months later, IE i bought 15k armor on necro, i sold her other 15k, i deleted the necro, then i remade a new necro next month lol. this was back in the days b4 insignias was created

crazybanshee · Apr 11, 2008, 02:21 AM // 02:21

I deleted my 10 month old character (who was created right after gw first came out, and would be getting mini pets less than a month after they came out each year) because I didn't know about mini pets, and I didn't like the hair
