Default Favorite Memory in GW1?

I think my favorite memory in Guild Wars 1 was playing ALL the way through Guild Wars Factions in one day(lol, no life) on my Necro to get to the Luxon 15k armor.

I think Factions missions were great. Almost every single one of them was very tough. Especially the turtle escort one -.-

Either that, or the day I finally realized I had all the mats necessary for FoW armor on my warrior.

Edit: I also had a lot of great memories exploring Tyria to obtain my cartographer titles..

Probably getting my mesmer elite kurz (my first elite armor) or doing urgoz with friends the first time.

1. Stumbling upon Rotscale while exploring and then finally beating him.

2. After many failed attempts, finally beating Chaelse Flameshielder in Grothmar Wardowns in HM.

Those were definitely "Hell Yeah" moments, for me anyway...

Running out of pre on my first character at level 5. Never knew what to expect and thinking just because I have payed other MMOs this won't be any different. Ran right into Winter's Day event and into the PVP. Had a shock of my life, held on to the package and ran around like some idiot around and around until someone said, "Will you stop running already!" I thought, "Oh, ok..." Stopped and he killed me.

Favorite memories had to either have been doing 5 man Oro runs with my brother and cousin (and the two monk henchies), or GvG around 2006 around the Celestial tournament. Had some epic matches and some good times.

Finishing top dog in the BWE/PWE GvG event rankings and getting an email from Izzy asking if i'd like to join the testing team.

Plus main omg heart pumping mega moment:

2005-2006 GvG was certainly the GvG highlights, mainly this fight and it's follow up, beating The Last Pride[EvIL] in straight matches. Real life had taken over for most of us that season with school and 1 on military duty and so didn't have much time to play and we only just managed to squeeze into the Top 16 as a result as a result of [DeeR] being ineligible due to being under age.

http://www.gamerstube.com/videos/com...-playoffs-6918

We were on fire that day, plus a little known fact that right before that match we flawlessed War Machine[WM] in under 10 mins during our warm up runs so i guess that gave us a lot of confidence going into the match vs the world champions, and the best team ever to grace GWs shores: http://www.zenadsl5706.zen.co.uk/gw0...20Flawless.jpg

I think there have been a lot of epic times in my GW journey.

The first time I entered UW, it was with my Warrior alone, I had no idea about UW, how difficult it was at that time. And got beaten by an Aatxe. Frankly, that was one of my my best moments.

What will i miss the most?

Being new in pre-searing. Playing through Prophecies for the first time. I don't know but to me it seems like the advent of good games died after 2005 (some small exceptions). Factions and onward didn't feel like Guild Wars to me at all, but Factions was kinda nice only on Shing jea though.

I really hope Guild Wars 2 delivers the same joy I had playing through Prophecies for the first time. Man I can't want for that game to get done!

Hmmm,

*Sorrow's Furnace update.
*Completing Althea's Ashes for the first time as a 3man+1hench team where no one knew what we were getting into. We did manage to get it done by passing all the jars to the highest level party member (my level 13 Mes) and having everyone else soak up the damage while I ran for the ashes.
*A physway run in Urgoz HM. I hadn't realised how massively powerful physway teams were until that .

There are more, but those come to mind first.

I really hope GW2 brings back that 'sensation' too. When I first started playing Guild Wars, I remember how new everything was too me in a fantastic way. I had only played Runescape before in an MMO sense.. so this was a big step up. Playing through Prophecies was one of the greatest gaming moments or spans of my life as a gamer, if not the greatest.

I kind of quit after Factions ended.. never played Nightfall or EoTN.

The Sorrow's Furnace update was awesome. It was such a challenging place to farm, but so fun. Loved going out with a trapping group and messing that place up.

I really hope they have something similar to Urgoz & The Deep(I think that's what it was called) in GW2.
