Remember when...

Remember when they booted everyone off for server maintenance for an hour...

when there was no kurz/luxon, and spiders could be tamed with rangers in proph ^^

when titles were first being made, and people rushed to get protecter titles

You tried to get ran to Droks to craft max armor, and when a droks run took more skill than it does now.

No, I started a few days after that update.

Yea, I used to run a strange build where I would change attributes out in the wild to take advantage of a specific skill when facing bosses - there were quite a few I and the hench couldn't kill otherwise. I never really had an issue with them back then as I was used to running a single build in other MMO's but it was one of the best changes they ever did. I wouldn't still be here if we still had them.

Sure, I recall 100k. You just must have not been in the market for one during that time period.

It has and it hasn't - it is still GW yet many of the details of changed. From my point of view attribute refund points are the largest change yet most here never even played when they were around (yet try and tell me what GW was like in the early days). I'm old so please get off my lawn, I have to mow it and your young germs goof it up - heck I also recall Reagan getting elected and that is WAY older than even GW's first BWE.

I remember when there was a thread with the same title that mostly consisted of a bunch of 'Guild Wars veterans' moaning about how wonderful it was in the good old days.

I don't even rememeber what i did last weekend, nevermind last 3 years.

I remember the day guru got its record user count of 6,830 at one time. They had rolled back the server because of the price reset. Fun times...

Attribute refund points...man, those days sucked.

I remember thinking "well, I can't beat this area until I get enough experience to change my build". That was one of the worst ideas in GW.

ahhh having to type your build for the teams that wanted to actually know your skills. That centaur mission seemed impossible without that uber lvl 20

When my N/Me could make 50k in an hour. Without Ascension and UW/FoW or even Desert.

Yeah, Ettin Rune Farming ftw.

What is this alternate universe of which you speak?

yep. I still have 2 of them

HoD helm 50% hex duration, how I miss thee.

"sorry guys, i just ran out of beer. so i might rage at you!"

i miss you JR. come back to us!!

Remember when there were no heroes and you did quests with pugs and/or henchmen (for better or worse)?

HAHA

loooooooooooooooomfao!!! this song is GREAT!!! roflroflrofl you win this thread!

~LeNa~

Remember when there was nobody who started threads like this to show that he was playing GW since beta and was looking for attention?

I cannot help it, but everytime I see one of those threads I see: Hey look, I am playing since 3 years and you new guys don't know anything about GW and how it used to be!

I play GW since 3 years too, but I like the way it got better week after week (if you exclude PvE-Version Skills, but I think Anet has the right to experiment with things after 3 years).

But yes, I remember, and I would love to see a retro weekend, or even a whole week. GW 1.0, just "for the lulz".
