I remember when we had that bug where mobs that fight each other dropped stuff for your party. Iron mines AFK farming ftw (slowest farming ever

)

I remember when..

..I saw someone level to lv20 in pre-searing, in august 2005. It was actually the day I started playing. I was thinking that wasn't such a big deal and I'd easily get to a way higher level in no time.

..didn't know level 20 was the max back then.

never looked at the game box or guide, just started playing along with a friend.

-

I also remember thinking I was extremely original playing a paladin with mending and shield of regeneration + balthazar's spirit. Infact, I actually got complimented about this when I solo'ed 3 people in random arena, after my team had died. I was stupid enough not to take rez.

I remember capping my first elite skill, thought they were actually only for the 'elite' players out there!

I remember finding out what soul reaping did, at the maguuma jungle, after people asked my why I didn't have any points in soul reaping... I played a N/E back then, I liked elementalists but I started playing with a friend and didn't want to copy him, it was actually my first character.

I remember taking a lot of trouble to buy meteor shower on that same necro!

I was so happy with it... Bought it at the ascalonian colony in kryta.

I remember thinking guildwars sucked because presearing looked so much better then post-searing ascalon.

and I remember much more, ofcourse, but most has been stated

I remember doing every single quest in factions, i didn't know that it wasnt necessary to go further on the storyline.

Sister Rosette · Nov 05, 2007, 03:23 PM // 15:23

I remember going through Tyria for the first time, and being wide-eyed and in awe of the constantly changing foes and environs around me.

I remember UW without Dying Nightmares.

I remember when I could sell 10 Ecto for 100k.

I remember how people used to appreciate Monks, because they weren't as common.

I remember kicking myself for deleting my Monk and all my good characters, and giving away all my money and items when I 'quit' the first time.

Master Ketsu · Nov 05, 2007, 05:25 PM // 17:25

I remember when people complained about the AoE update, and I just laughed.

I remember the first IWAY...

I remember when conditions actually had a chance to last their full duration.

I remember when you actually had to think to kill a monk, rather then just overload him with win-button nightfall skills.

I remember when Positioning was the most important aspect of the game.

You're absolutely right Malice... what i meant to say was that it used to be 'insanely awesome'. Thanks for pointing out my mistake, appreciate it...

Nittle Grasper · Nov 05, 2007, 09:29 PM // 21:29

When I used a whole a bunch of ele skills on a warrior.. I thought a war/ele would be awesome but I was wrong... When I got my first black dye after doing captured son quest with my ele... Damn that quest is hard...I remember when I first started abing... I had a crappy ele bar lol, double dragon ftw...when I got 60% canthan explorer I was happy^^... when I got prop and got meteor shower damn that was awesome... Going to Ascalon with henchies... that sucked. Making derv and going omg when a guildie showed me the deathbringer... 9-41 wtf?! overpowered much? When I capped searing flames that was awesome... Being stuck on each of the vortex missions for a month...Finding out about eoe bug farming...First 15k armor... Finding second black dye in the nightfallen gardens... then getting about 5 more through bug farming... started exploring other classes... HM and then it went downhill from there

I remember when there was a time when Zinger played GW

6am3 Fana71c · Nov 05, 2007, 10:28 PM // 22:28

I don't remember any of the stuff you people are talking about, because I started playing later then most of people here, and I'm kinda thankfull for that because I don't have any reason to come and moan about how glorious were the past days.
...
Just play the damn game, or move on. Less QQ more pew pew. Kktnxbai.

BLOODGOAT · Nov 05, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I have more fun with Guild Wars now than I ever did in the past, but it's still fun to remember.

Q Q Less

ensoriki · Nov 05, 2007, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I remember opening GW in 2005 December, because I thought it looked so cool and had to get it. I remember getting bored with my level 8 ele at Frontier Gate, and my lvl 11 Ranger at shiver peaks, and developing my Warrior hate because they felt so slow.
I remember quitting from boredom that same month, I remember Factions coming out and I was like "WTF ASSASSIN, SWEET"

I don't remember nerfs >.> the overload exploded my memory.

I remember my ranger being R/N and was a "hybrid" using Range and Minions.....then I realized It sucked ass and tried furiously to get skills to fix it.

I remember, when all you would hear is 55. Now theres A/E E/A .....55

haha i remember the old days of that. Telepathy was a major part of the game back then, so to speak.
