I remember when there were Kurzicks and Luxons in Kryta (I first arrived after the settlements were established but before they were gone)...

I remember that Word of Healing is in the UW.I wonder why is it still there as all Monks have it by then.

I forgot about that...no wonder I forgot about them, I haven't seen them since. I think they had quests...

I remember when the Frog said that rank 15 of hero is a gerbil. I put that on wiki!
I remember getting 4,652 hitpoints.
I remember getting to level 20 when I was in the maguuma desert, and being super proud!
I remember my friend sold me two lame gold weapons for 3k, which was all the money I had at the moment.
I remember that in my first day of playing the game, I got a black dye drop in pre, and my friend told me it was worth a bit of money, so when I went to post, which was when I was level 13 since I wanted to make sure I did everything in pre, I sold it for 12k...money right off the bat. Haha.
I remember beating a high ranking guild in GvG for the first time, it was Dead Presidents.
I remember getting a Flawless Victory on the Guild Another Flawless Victory.
I remember when I first started playing, I thought you could use any weapon, so I played trying to kill things with a bow as a Warrior/Monk in the beginning.
I remember people telling me Mending is a must skill for warriors......

I remember having parties past the portal to Ettin's Back in Aurora Glade. Back when you can go past it without warping :P

Alpheus · Nov 09, 2007, 06:36 AM // 06:36

capes were bibs and the GUI looked completely different.

Tempy · Nov 09, 2007, 09:07 AM // 09:07

I remember the day we had friendly fire damage and deaths...That was a quick update. Nothing like wiping out your own party with meteor shower...LOL

Shuuda · Nov 09, 2007, 09:09 AM // 09:09

I remember when Word of Healing was a rubbish skill, I remember it as if it were yesterday.... oh wait.

So Large numbers of Monks appeared in Thunderhead Keep (one of the hardest/most annoying missions). And did not accept any invites.
"No Deal No Heal" was commonly said by every monk.

After a day or two, things started to get back in order with monks and other players.

Haha! I remember that. After that THK became my monks home whenever I afk'd or just wanted to chat. THK is a shadow of what it was and is easily henched now, so I keep he spirit alive by afk'ing elsewhere that my services would be required.

I remember when I was leading the dance parade in ToA (Grenth's statue) for getting favor at 10 pm (EDT)

**cosyfiep** · Nov 11, 2007, 07:08 PM // 19:08

I remember getting the prima guilds for prophecies and factions and USING them for missions and stuff (still wish they would have made one for nightfall

).

I remember my first character and my hubby and I getting our first armor in post....and running to a corner to change our armor! (didnt want anyone to see our nearly naked toons!).

I remember not knowing how to mix dyes

and heck now you cant

I remember when you could only change your attribute points a certain amount of times (refund points, is that what we call it?), and I remember thinking I guess I will always be a fire ele!

I remember my old first computer I played pre on....less than 512 memory and it still worked in pre!! (had to get a second stick for post though). I remember using that computer until factions came out and it couldnt handle the graphics (full party wipe before I could hit my skill

). And I remember people complaining about my screen shots from that computer! (and I remember not knowing how to get rid of the ui....

).....and here is one of those screenies! (yes its the starter isle of factions right outside of the monastery)....

Onarik Amrak · Nov 11, 2007, 08:02 PM // 20:02

I remember a time when WoH was target other ally like it was just yesterday...

Angelic Upstart · Nov 11, 2007, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Also i remember my first excursion into post searing ascalon with my fire Ele carrying a frost artifact and an air wand, did have the screenies but lost the first fourteen months of my gw life in screenies when my hard drive crashed

that sucks.....

I remember when the PVP selection screens were separated into what type of PVP you were planning to play(ex: hall of heroes, random arenas) (never understood why really)

I remember being a hero in Ascalon City's Arena with my level 9 wammo (complete with mending and healing breeze! Everyone used to cheer my name! And i thought i was hot stuff with my more expensive ascalon armor)

I remember a time before Party Search screen, when you'd go to LA dist 1 and take 15 minutes re-scrolling through the "WTS" and "WTB" messages--everyone for a while would post in trade chat, then to show contrast post in all chat.

I remember buying my first (what i thought to be) gold bow--paying all of my saved up gold (22k I think?) which took me a few months to save up.

I remember loading yak's bend for the first time and seeing the loading wallpaper, and being amazed at the change in scenery (and 6 people in a party!)

And I remember loading Pre-Searing ascalon city for the FIRST time, and being absolutely in love. I said "hi!" in all chat, and someone soon said "yeah, you must be new." (because apparently I was saying hi to everyone)

I remember being a complete NOOB and noone bashing newbies for it

I remember not knowing how to add henchmen to my party and taking a couple of tries to understand why i kept dying on my own outside of post-ascalon city

I <3 the old times, and I appreciate the new times. Change is inevitable and learn to adapt and acclimate---adapting is what GW is all about! (don't forget having FUN is important too!)

Rexion · Nov 11, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

i remember the old graphics for the vial of dyes and runes.

i remember when my little laptop was struggling when I played. When I minimized - everything besides the characters turned white. Now i have an new compy, so its nice =D

i remember making my first guild. it was community run, very nice people.

i remember the monk strike.

i remember my ranger was a peice of crap. (deleted him about 2 months ago, wasted slot =D)

i remember being one of the 55's to sit in droks before they booted us off of the servers for the new-loot system.

dgi · Nov 11, 2007, 09:40 PM // 21:40

I remember....Nothing

Nian · Nov 11, 2007, 09:57 PM // 21:57

I'm not that old of a player but...(got my prophecies during the factions era)

I remember throwing away my old max armor when I got a new set of max armor thinking, what use could I possibly have for two sets of armor! Rubbish!

I remember being a very very angry monk because of constant pressure and no energy...until I got better at it.

I remember getting lost in Kaineng like it was just yesterday.....no wait...

Master Ketsu · Nov 12, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

I remember when everyone who played TA/RA did it for fun.

I remember when running from Ascalon to Sanctum Cay used to be about 50-75k a person.

I remember when there were no titles, people were generous, and this game was fun.

Yeah and i remember when this game used to be good. And i could play it the way the people who made it said it was supposed to be played. "Be a top player without putting endless hours into boring nonsense that no one ever really has time for." well Thier quote goes something like that... or at least it has that meaning...
