ITT: name memorable facts in the years of playing guild wars.

To start of here are a few things i remember worth mentioning for nostalgia.

1. ecto's were worth 80k each

2. Titan gems used to be 80k each too

3. Max runes and mods were so rare that they usually werent even used in pvp play, so you ended up with low hp, and sup vigor used to go for 80k

4. When tombs (heroes ascent) was introduced it had more maps and map rotations.

5. Wammos (warrior with mending and healing hands(elite) were imba and basicly sologanking was the meta. Was supereffective too in both gvg as well as ha.

6. the zaishen npc's did contribute to the hero title track and many people farmed them for fame.

7. Holding halls for your continent enebled entry to UW and FOW.

8. having obsidian armor was like being a real life millionair and automaticly meant to be pro or exp/ w/e they called you.

9. many titles didnt even exist at first and were introduced until after.

10. when hb was introduced hb was introduced there was no title for it.

Tombs has been in since 2003-2004, it wasn't "introduced" i still have screenshots of it before the area had any textures on it, and WAMMO's used Healing Hands because it wasn't an elite originally fyi.
