I remember being congradulated when I got to Yak's the first time by random strangers.

I also remember that being where I heard 'rumors' of an armor set that cost well over 1.5 million, and I had a mere 1.5 thousand.

I remember being extremely disappointed when I found out the armor did exist, but was no more special than any other armor.

I remember there being no greens, or any other reason to go into The Falls, and doing it anyway.

I remember that when you zoned back into town after a party wipe, everybody was still in the team, and you discussed what to do different.

I remember being scared of the Charr in Piken Square.

I remember feeling like a loser the first and only time a paid for a run to Drok's.

I remember running myself to droks in a mad dash with 6 other level 18's, because I thought that that was what your supposed to do at that point in the game. ( ended up infused but not ascended. lawl )

100k superior vigor's dropped and it was an amazing feeling... then you destroyed it when trying to salvage it.

Pet moa birds were cool and everyone wanted to know where to find them.

THK was a bottleneck for noobs and everyone whinged about it being too hard. Now it's one of the easiest in normal mode (yet to do it on hard).

I remember when Sup Vigors somehow cost 101k at the merchant.

I remember when:

1. When FDS was a highly sought after weapon.
2. I made my first 10k by buying and selling FDS (a lot of them), and thought to myself I was the smartest dealer on earth.
3. Always wondered what troll farming was.
4. Respected monks a lot and was extra-nice to them.
5. Didn't need vent or TS to do difficult missions.
6. Buying runs were cheap. 500g would get you to a lot of places (especially the desert).
7. I was happy with basic armor sets and enjoyed dying them in different colors.
8. Never had to "ping" builds in PUG groups. Only had to type out my two most powerful skills. Didn't even have an elite until I reached the desert.
9. I enjoyed the Tyrian storyline and took weeks to complete (even for second and third characters).
10. I would watch in amazement when a necro would summon his Flesh Golem for the THK mission (I didn't have factions in June 2006).
11. Warriors were the only tanks, with no other variants in existence.
12. Would PUG any mission/quest because I found it easier.
13. I didn't know what mini-pets were and when I bought one, I thought it would enter a battle with me the same way a tamed pet does for a ranger. (I was a necro).
14. I asked a lot of questions in town and people would answer without any flames.
15. I reached Lion's Arch for the first time and thought it was a great accomplishment - enjoyed the size of the city, several NPC and quests, and the number of people. Failed Galrath mission several times with PUGS but kept repeating with them.
16. Didn't have a single title and the first title I ever got was "Protector of Tyria".
17. Having "Protector of Tyria" title on would result in swift invite at any mission area. (yeah, class didn't matter)
18. Never thought about an extended storage space - infact I thought it was sufficient. Don't know how I managed with 1 tab of storage space which included mainly materials and FDS. lol
19. I thought you couldn't change your secondary profession. I chose Mesmer as secondary since the trainer was very close to Ascalon. Later, I found out you could change it in crystal desert.
20. GW had a lot of secrets that remained secrets since people didn't share as many ideas on internet forums.

Um not to burst your bubble but the first elites start coming at the desert.

I remember when the game used to be balanced with six professions before it was F-ed up with the assassin, ritualist, paragon, and lame crappy dervish.

I remember all that, except for the 7 man party from beacon's perch part.

Sparks Dawnbringer · Nov 07, 2007, 06:07 AM // 06:07

I remember learning how to dance. I remember my first purple drop. I remember Christmas and Easter eggs. I remember missing my first pumpkin helm by 5 minutes. I remember buying my first Sup vig for 36k and thinking I could never afford a Sup Ab for 100k. I remember being a nuker. I remember Assending the first time. I remember Crippling Anguish and Searing flames. I remember a player giving me a black dye to buy a run to Droks and better armor.

Steph Fire Adept · Nov 07, 2007, 06:34 AM // 06:34

I remember the log in "Prophecies", I remember my first pvp (when you left preascalon), I remember when i open my map (don't tell me I have to do all of this O_O), I remember when I killed the Undead Rurik, I remember the 30 minions, I remember my first gold drop, I remember the Test run to Drok.

I remember dye remover and the dye scheme was so much better than it is now

3 yellow + silver FTW!!!

Swift Thief · Nov 07, 2007, 09:23 PM // 21:23

When, I saw a monk healing us and a Necro making minions, then I came up with: "wait, it I was N/Mo, then I can make minions AND heal."

W/E was a good combination in PvE:

Sora267 · Nov 07, 2007, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I remember when I made my first character.
I remember my friend yelling at me for making it N/E. :P
I remember my time in Pre.
I remember my computer being terrible and my friends getting way ahead of me (We started at around the same time).
I remember when I was amazed at the idea of a 55 Monk.
I remember when I got my first set of 15k armor (Currently my ONLY set).
I remember when I got my first Ecto.

Snow Bunny · Nov 07, 2007, 11:51 PM // 23:51

I remember joining my first guild - We Come to Kill [You]
First purple - accursed staff in post
first gold - mursaat hornbow
first elite - word of healing
Getting my deer and thinking "I am the shit"
Getting other emotes and getting greedier about them
When I wore a silver cape that I earned.
When that guildleader then proceeded to kick everyone but 3 people (including his core monks) and sold invites for 50k each.
