Oh boy so many good memories in this game...
I really enjoy thinking back to the first time I played through the game, getting level 20 by acctually doing the missions. Then I'll never forget going back and makin' money for my droks armor by running people beacons -> kryta with my necro

Also the first time I went into fissure was awesome, got to forgemaster no sweat...i still remember the tactic, the monks would prot up the warrior, he'd agro, and i'd N/E nuke with two other echo nukers, and spam blood rit on the nub 55 monk :P And then there were my balanced spikes, oh boy were those fun! First hoh win and i was the solo monk will also be an unforgettable event

Man there are so many things, my first time soloing underworld (right after the freakin' prot bond nerf but before nightmares were put in) it felt awesome takin on level 29's by myself. ahh nostalgia

helping a friend and random pugs at dragon's lair with my warr... i took doylak siggy (and to this day i still can't figure out why i did it in the first place) and we said we'd try bonus... first time i killed glint... and with pugs as well...

Mine was doing the final 2 Glint Quest's... we died soooo many times (healers jumped) and every single one of us had 60% DP but we kept going for hours. I even called work to say I was going to be late because of how much fun we were having. By the end of it we all lined up and took screenshots of us dancing over the corpses of the bosses we had just defeated.

Everyone in that group was merry and cheerful, determined and patient - everything you need in a group.

Heh, such an old pic - armor is so much sweeter now.

Getting my first gold drop and thinking how wonderful it was, (I now know it wasn’t)

Being asked to become guild leader

Finally after 9 months getting 1000k in storage, then spending all of it on 4 Faction Characters

Maybe surprisingly, fond memories of many a good PUG

Getting my Miss Piggy in Pre-Sear with my War

Getting my bear with my sin. After stupid hench killed about 6, even when just monks

Doubling my money after selling Gothic Sword for 80k

First black dye drop in Shing Jea island

Realising the potential in trading Shing Jea greens for dye. (My friend collects, i don't use the money anyway)

One of my highlights was first making the ladder.

I started playing back in July 2005 with a couple of friends. We were total noobs, but we wanted to some day compete in GvG. We all started PvEing and playing random arenas to train and to recruit other members. After about a month of practice, we decided we were ready to GvG.

That was before the days of observer mode, so we debated about our build for literally weeks. We finally decided to run a hundred blades sword warrior, a hammer warrior, a water/smite emo, a punishing shot ranger, a curse necro, two edrain heal monks, and a bonder. A shockingly advanced build considering none of us had ever gvged, but you may notice one thing we forgot -- a runner. None of us had any idea what the flag did so we just ignored it.

In our first GvG, we played a rank 500 guild. We were so intimidated to play someone so high ranked that we got lost on the way out of our guild hall and never did find the flagstand. We ended up fighting the other team just outside our base and got smashed. Things looked grim as they pulled into our base, but we ressed and attacked with the fury of a hundred paladins. In what is easily the fiercest fighting I had ever done in GW, we broke the offensive and pushed them out of our base. I can still remember the intensity and excitement as we beat them back. It took us a while to figure out how to get into their base (thief? what thief?) but eventually they let us in and we got the win. It was such a rush I have been addicted to GvG ever since.

Over the next few days, we played a flurry of GvGs, ending with a 26-8 record, 1212 rating.....and rank 996 on the ladder.

We were so happy we reached our goal! I can still remember the celebration we had in our guild hall to be on the ladder for literally only hours before it reset. Since then I've been a member of many top 100 guilds and even earned playoff spots/silver cape a few times, but I've never been more proud of anything in GW than earning top 1000 that season.

Here is a screenie of us in action:

The Dragon Festival... it was getting dark (although the sky did stay that way for 5 days), festive decoration all around and me sitting on the Rings games taking in the sights

(And I got my first title: Hapless) :P

I have several fond memories although at the the time one or two weren;t so nice. Like way back in the pre-release betas when I didn't know my head from a hole in the ground.. My gf and I and a couple of pug ppl took 2 1/2 hrs to finish ranik.. got finish and did a quest outside Frontier gate only to come back in ahd have Gwen toast everyone.. Now days I can just about solo with any character thru that mission in about 20 minutes.

I think the first great feeling of accomplishment was also back in the early days right after release when we cleared the charr out of pre-searing for the very first time.. It was a really nice feeling taking those screenshots posing over the bosses corpses...lol

More recently I think one of the coolest things was taking a pug thru Thirsty River.. We had a few people in the group swear ing we were doomed to failure because we had no tanks or something, but we absolutely rolled thru the place without slowing down and also got the bonus.

And lastly I finally got a damned Survival title on my newest Ranger.. I usually die at least once or twice by like lvl 10 and didn;t even pat attention til she was like lvl 17 and hadn;t died yet. managed to hench my way to 20 without any deaths and had a little help from my gf.. Hope she can make the next level just as long as I don;t leave anyone hanging in a group I'm in.. Title isn;t worth being an ass..

My Most Memorable exprience is when I first ascended and when I forst started Playing GW back in BWE.I really like the day when I made my first char up I wouldn't mind haveing it back and going to post not knowing there were henchies as I did the quests solo.

Sair · Oct 26, 2006, 03:23 AM // 03:23

Waaaay back during E3 for everyone. When I went wandering around in that SP area and saw the Great Northern Wall for the first time. It just seemed so huge.

Second is finishing that attribute point quest in the desert. Just finished fighting our way across the desert, and ended up at one of the best vistas in the game.

Getting Protector of Tyria with my monk. It only took me a year and some change :P (I took about eight months off.)

Running through Tasca's Demise with some henchies to cap SoJ, a Siege Golem dropped a Shiverpeak Key, and about 50 feet from the battle was a chest. So I pick up the key, run over and open the chest, and voilà, a max 15^50 gold FDS. On a side note, one of my worst GW memories is putting that same sword on a PvP character so I could feel cool, then deleting that character without taking the sword off him >.<
