Memories of early Guild Wars

Green weapons not existing.

your post made my day. the old days before 125489 skill changes

Fertile Season.


+10 of them.


****blocking the alter.

GW used to get updates? I never heard nor thought that was possible............

But seriously, I wish there were more content updates and less, "Oshit, we fck'd up again" updates.

Infused players taking non-infused player (me) along the Ice Cave of Sorrow mission (yes they know I wasn't infused), they had a good laugh, I die instantly and constantly but they were very nice, kept ressing me, after the mission they told me to get infused. I doubt anyone would do that now-a-days.

Trying to open the gate (pull Lever), quickly try to run thru the gate at the great northern wall, can't remember the quest name. The one where there are level 8 Charrs, at that time level 8 Charrs is a big deal, rofl. Almost gave up playing. (punishment for not reading quests before doing them)

Trying to kill Galrath, kill one foe, party wipe, runs back to Galrath, kill another, party wipe, repeat. Finally did it with the lowest possible dp. I have good patient.

Not using skills to kill foes, on my very first character, the Necromancer who wield an axe and wanders why he's not causing any damage.

What is SS? << when my necro finally got to Sorrow Furnace, everyone wants necro with SS, got kick out of a group after we are wiped and then, they find out I didn't know what SS is ........

so many

Does anyone have a link to all the old templates like abominable snowman?

I miss those days.

And almost every build MATH ran would get nerfed in the next update.

wtb refund points

dye being mixable and not have a preview

...the old black dye (still on some of my older 15k sets )

I remember looking up images of all the different dye mixes, spending almost all of my money on dye, and then realizing that on my particular armor it didn't show up as the same color as in the pics.

Build:W/E_Abominable_Snowman

You can find them all here

How piken square chat was full of three sayings.

1. WTS Althea's ashes 400gp
2. wat are Althea's ashes?!
3. don't buy them, its a scam!

Anyone else use to do the port sledge chest run?
There were 4 chests, 2 dropped a 100-500gp lot of gold and the other 2 droped 2-3 items that were all close together. I got alot of swamp clubs from that.

And the quest, "Shiverpeak Stragglers" in the northern shiver peaks before it was fixed..... they use to die all the darn time and you would have to repeat it 3 times.

I remember, 4 years ago when I really disliked the burnt area i was in. I spent ages to run around on the maps looking for the green Ascalon I still dislike it, but at least i know how to proceed to other green areas that are not pre

The old FOW pugs where ppl actually used their xp count as a qualification. People with over 1m xp were considered 1337 and could always get a pug slot.

Oh, when Factions was new, buying amber for 4k ea to get kurz elite. I arrived at the armor crafter with bag full of crap and sold it to him...overclicking and also sold him the amber
QQ there went my savings lol

When white dye came out the first day it was 52k each i Q Q.

I lo'd really hard at this one.

I remember the time that some Korean kid posted pictures of his stacks of ecto and rare golds here on Guru. This was wayyy back before people knew about solo farming.

Then he claimed that his source of all that income was using salvage kits on items to acquire crafting materials.

I wonder if he still plays from time to time?

The thing i ment was Anet came into our chars and took off the 2 +20% enchantments last longer we all put on it. Thats what made it worthless thats when +20% went to 150-200k each before the nerf. The SoB's just stripped them clean lol

Ya thats was my chest run, did it in 2.5min got so good at it made 500k and thats how i bought all the Sup vig and Sup Absorptionf or 5k each on rune reset day. Did i get rich wow. Now port sledge is a icey ghost town. I use to teach the run to newbies that was a fun run got my first Fells max gold r8 there perfect. sold for 800k lol
