I don't know if this was said earlier but...
I remember when:

- There was only Prophecies
- There were alot of people playing
- There were no such thing as Assassins, Dervishes etc.
- Shadow Stepping was non-existent
- Factions was non-existent thus there was none of the relentless trash talking about other people in other factions
- AoE
- How Boon-Prot was such an effective cookie-cutter build that 'everyone' was a good monk
- Less rants on Forums about Anerfs
- There were less Trolls and there were nicer people

I remember when I was a noob and getting a dye drop was the best feeling in the world D:

Silver dye = 3-5k
Black dye = 10k+

And this..

"How do you make white dye?"

Mavrik · Nov 04, 2007, 04:19 AM // 04:19

I remember...

my first PvP event in prophecies when going post searing. Had no idea what was going on and didn't attack anyone.

Was such a noob I ended up at fort ranik (post searing) still in starter armor.

got my first black dye.

ele fire skills were da bomb literally. AoE wasn't nerfed.

Everyone was a noob.

your characters stood outside a campfire... wish I had a screen of that still. the original log in screen is still my fav.

DRGN · Nov 04, 2007, 04:23 AM // 04:23

Paladins
Abominable Snowmen
Them fire ranger things

Ahhh, them were some great builds.

idicious · Nov 04, 2007, 05:05 AM // 05:05

I remember when droks run was still a good money maker.

I remember when I always took mending on my bar, wondering why my energy was so low.

I remember when having 1 ecto was only something I could imagine.

When people didn't ask you to ping your build before the start of every mission.

When I thought the 55 monk was the most awsome thing ever.

And when I was clueless on how to get the crafting materials needed for my first set of armor out of pre-searing in old ascalon (the monsters never drop the stuff the crafter needs.......)

chowmein69 · Nov 04, 2007, 05:08 AM // 05:08

i rember when white dyes were 60k

RedNova88 · Nov 04, 2007, 05:26 AM // 05:26

I remember when I first started playing GW (Prophecies) and I did a lot of stupid crap with my original warrior. I had things on my bar like Frenzy and Blood Renewal and trying to be a MM with my warrior... Lol... So dumb.

Saphrium · Nov 04, 2007, 06:39 AM // 06:39

I remember first time I realized there are other places I haven't visited even after beating the final mission a few times.
I remember fighting through the snows and monsters with a nice pug team, and finally reached granite citadel, loaded with money and material for my first set of 15K armor.
I remember granite citadel's music as my favorite.
I remember I made a lot of friends when playing prophecies, and how I lost them after factions and nightfall.

Performance Pudding · Nov 04, 2007, 06:53 AM // 06:53

people keep mentioning refund points but i cant remember them. how old are they?

I Remember When i thought droks armor was expensive.

I Remember When getting to lvl 20 meant i was done with the game.

I Remember When i thought the game had a breakdown after i entered the academy (really wtf if you had no clue it was going to happen would you of expected that to happen..)

I Remember When my war was lvl 16 in pre because i didnt know how to leave >.<

I Remember When pve was fun and hoh didnt require titles i dont like titles...

Kook~NBK~ · Nov 04, 2007, 07:32 AM // 07:32

I rememember when names like Yak's bend and Lion's Arch had a mysterious, exotic aura about them (before I made it to those places the first time, way back when)

I remember when Fire Storm was a decent PvE skill.

I remember when my first Ranger met his end - Eaten by his own pet bear! (hyperphasia FTL!)

I remember when NO ONE would take a Mesmer in their group. (They're learning

)

I remember taking my second Ranger through Prophecies doing Mission & Bonus all the way through just for the sake of doing it (pre-titles)

I remember doing the torch trick in THK and making jokes while all the baddies were beating on me and all my party was beating on them!

trobinson97 · Nov 04, 2007, 07:36 AM // 07:36

When almost no one would let rangers into a party.

Being called a noob when I didn't have all the skills the party leader requested my first time in HA.

Getting my first sup Absorption drop from an Ettin, back when they were around 60-70k-ish.

The rollback of 06.

Being excited when I got that deer emote.

Farming Drakes outside Elona's reach

Waiting almost a year and a half for my first max damage Fellblade to drop (dropped in Elona of all places, but was purple, max, q9 and at that point, totally worthless).

Lilanthe · Nov 04, 2007, 07:38 AM // 07:38

I also remember when Balthazar Aura was stackable... Farming godliness.

dont feel no pain · Nov 04, 2007, 07:43 AM // 07:43

Im Remember Griffon Farming 2k per 2 min with 3 golds ftw!

also i remember hale staff heads +30 being sold for 60k

Nexus Icon · Nov 04, 2007, 07:48 AM // 07:48

I remember runes of adrenal fury...

prism2525 · Nov 04, 2007, 08:02 AM // 08:02

I remember:

Feeling lost in pre-searing ascalon.

Feeling awestruck (and lost) when seeing the whole post map (i thought you could explore it ALL)

Going out SOLO with my lvl 6 E/Me, with the skill bar a total mess (7 different attributes - see my first ever screenshot)

Not knowing you can shift your secondary as many times as you want and stayed as an E/Me for AGES because of it.

Thinking that soloing lvl 8 centaurs with my lvl 13 war was leet (had mending of course).

My first valuable drop (sup prot prayers rune, worth approx 12-14k at the time)

When we were the only heroes and had only henchies to go 'round with.

When sup abs and vigor were insanely expensive. then when I dropped one, they were already going down.

leprekan · Nov 04, 2007, 08:05 AM // 08:05

WOW ... nobody brought up when we had to cap elites while the boss was alive and using the skill. That I dont miss=p
