Restarting all of my characters like 20 times. XDD I missed out on quite a few minis. n__n Also, the minis I did end up getting I'd just give them away/sell : D!

Oh and.. I sold a mini kuuna for 70k a little while before minis were available for town display XDD

Sold a Miniature Oni and Shiroken for 230 and 280 ecto after I came back from a break, before they for some reason sky rocketed in price (they were dedicated).

On that subject, although I'm aware it's probably completely off-topic, is there an official pronunciation for Olias? I don't think he's mentioned in any cutscenes. Based on the way it looks, my first inclination would be to say "Oh-lye-us," but the guy I play with has always pronounced it "Oh-lee-us" and so I've fallen into saying it that way, too.

I've tried searching everywhere on this topic and simply cannot find a consensus.

Probably when I accidentally 93k of ectoes.

...what?

Me neither. Apparently, however, the name is French, according to a baby-naming website. I'd strongly guess it's a long-e sound instead of a long-i.

Ran my warrior with attributes in bow until level 5 (split between bow and sword). Then ran apply poison with a sword to get 7 degen... prophecies beta, the good old days of being noob.

...even worse trader.
Sold r12 colossal scimitar to merchant, among other things (anything more than r9 doesn't get kept)
Sold r8 communing forbidden staff 10/10 for 15k.

After HoM calculator came out I rushed to buy Kurzick armor for my ranger. Because I'd never dealt with faction armor, I didn't realize they came in Elite and non-Elite varieties. Dozens of ambers down the drain

Made my first character: an Assassin in Cantha. Typed in the bonus code to get some GW Factions: Collector's Edition goodies. Played around for a while; about 'til you get away from the newbie-island. Decided I wasn't happy with the name of my character. Deleted it; made a new one. Realised I just lost a Miniature Kuunavang.

Cool, I said, and we started walking back to the portal. Then, across the bridge, I noticed a lone chest. "Ooh, a chest!" I ran to it, all the aloes popped up, I had no spirits summoned, I panicked, attempted to run (hello, knock-down!), and died. I was so mad at myself, I didn't play for like a week.

Oh, the exact same thing happened to me. Remember kids, greed gets you nowhere!

Also, thinking a Mesmer with sword attacks was a good idea. But it was so fun!

Don't worry, that's the new meta! Flexible Ranger xD

@topic: I didn't do something REALLY dumb, I just have forgotten to bring a Cap-Sig or change the secondary quite often while maxing the skill hunter...

Oh and I ran through a portal while vanquishing an area (don't know which, but it had ~300 monsters) and looking for the last group -.-

i have the exact same issues as you

AngelWJedi · Nov 04, 2010, 04:00 PM // 16:00

ive done the usually capsig hijinks. ive been auto running while vanqing to type something only to zone by mistake and i havent finished the vanq. also done the many rerolls of a char. i sure miss the minis i could get but when you only have 8 slots,no money and get bored easly meh. i also did the sell someone something and accepted to quickly only to see a second later its 10g not 1k.

FengShuiDove · Nov 04, 2010, 04:24 PM // 16:24

Made a Dervish.

And also, the smartest thing I didn't do: abuse my knowledge of perma-Shadow. I was using the A/Me version to farm Chamber and UWG in UW for a long time before GW:EN came out and people started doing it commonly. If I had been more creative, I could've been at the forefront of speedclears and perma-farms, and right now we might all be using Doveway. Oh well.

Fluffy Kittens · Nov 04, 2010, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I started playing HA.. enough said.

Reminds me of a few times I would be changing armor in ab (yeah changing...I swear I don't hang out in towns wearing only my gloves, boots, and mask) and my gl at the time hitting enter. Most of the time we won oddly enough.

Del · Nov 04, 2010, 11:59 PM // 23:59

I got killed by footies.

mptank · Nov 05, 2010, 12:08 AM // 00:08

merched a black dye
merched some unids
merched a few lock picks
merched a couple sup vigors (when I was new and didn't know you could salvage them off)
deleted a PvP char with a few plat on it
under sold a few items
over paid for a few items
under sold a couple stacks of amber before I knew about the update (for like 150g ea)
probably more that I can't think of atm..

Kula · Nov 05, 2010, 12:22 AM // 00:22

Abandoned the mallyx quest (After finishing all the zones) by accidently thinking it was the "every little bit helps" quest. I was in a hurry to get gobstoppers.

Kydd · Nov 05, 2010, 12:49 AM // 00:49

I had a proph only account and a factions/proph account. I bought nightfall lost the cd key. Bought nightfall again linked it to the proph only account. Now instead of one full campaign account I'm stuck with proph/NF and proph/factions.
