I Remember When...

- I remember when I downloaded a GW beta back in June 2004 and thought to myself, I will defiantly buy this game.
- I remember when Rotscale also showed up in the Sanctum Cay mission.
- I remember when there was use to the ancient weapon in the Crystal Desert.
- I remember me getting a run to Droks for my Warrior and then logging off when getting there, only to read the next day that ectos were like 200 gold each and people cleaned up on them.
- I remember the next time ectos were cheap and Anet bringing down the servers to restore from a previous point.

I remember when we had that bug where mobs that fight each other dropped stuff for your party. Iron mines AFK farming ftw (slowest farming ever )

I remember partying in Ascalon...then out of no where...a scream...and an ebil laugh, like a hound from hell...the little thing appeared...burned us allllllllllllll!!!
And now everyone just loves her...the mesmer <insert female canine descriptive here.>GWEN!

I remember when people didn't use local chat to buy and sell stuff....... oh wait, that never happened. /moan

I remember when..

..I saw someone level to lv20 in pre-searing, in august 2005. It was actually the day I started playing. I was thinking that wasn't such a big deal and I'd easily get to a way higher level in no time.

..didn't know level 20 was the max back then. never looked at the game box or guide, just started playing along with a friend.

I also remember thinking I was extremely original playing a paladin with mending and shield of regeneration + balthazar's spirit. Infact, I actually got complimented about this when I solo'ed 3 people in random arena, after my team had died. I was stupid enough not to take rez.

I remember capping my first elite skill, thought they were actually only for the 'elite' players out there!

I remember finding out what soul reaping did, at the maguuma jungle, after people asked my why I didn't have any points in soul reaping... I played a N/E back then, I liked elementalists but I started playing with a friend and didn't want to copy him, it was actually my first character.

I remember taking a lot of trouble to buy meteor shower on that same necro! I was so happy with it... Bought it at the ascalonian colony in kryta.

I remember thinking guildwars sucked because presearing looked so much better then post-searing ascalon.

and I remember much more, ofcourse, but most has been stated

I remember doing every single quest in factions, i didn't know that it wasnt necessary to go further on the storyline.

I remember going through Tyria for the first time, and being wide-eyed and in awe of the constantly changing foes and environs around me.

I remember UW without Dying Nightmares.

I remember when I could sell 10 Ecto for 100k.

I remember how people used to appreciate Monks, because they weren't as common.

I remember kicking myself for deleting my Monk and all my good characters, and giving away all my money and items when I 'quit' the first time.

I remember when people complained about the AoE update, and I just laughed.

I remember the first IWAY...

I remember when conditions actually had a chance to last their full duration.

I remember when you actually had to think to kill a monk, rather then just overload him with win-button nightfall skills.

I remember when Positioning was the most important aspect of the game.

I remember when having KoaBD title was just awesome... 'darn dude, check it, that mesmer has a KoaBD title '

I remember when yellow dye was actually yellow

KoaBD title was "awesome"? why was I not informed?

You're absolutely right Malice... what i meant to say was that it used to be 'insanely awesome'. Thanks for pointing out my mistake, appreciate it...

When I used a whole a bunch of ele skills on a warrior.. I thought a war/ele would be awesome but I was wrong... When I got my first black dye after doing captured son quest with my ele... Damn that quest is hard...I remember when I first started abing... I had a crappy ele bar lol, double dragon ftw...when I got 60% canthan explorer I was happy^^... when I got prop and got meteor shower damn that was awesome... Going to Ascalon with henchies... that sucked. Making derv and going omg when a guildie showed me the deathbringer... 9-41 wtf?! overpowered much? When I capped searing flames that was awesome... Being stuck on each of the vortex missions for a month...Finding out about eoe bug farming...First 15k armor... Finding second black dye in the nightfallen gardens... then getting about 5 more through bug farming... started exploring other classes... HM and then it went downhill from there

I remember when there was a time when Zinger played GW

I don't remember any of the stuff you people are talking about, because I started playing later then most of people here, and I'm kinda thankfull for that because I don't have any reason to come and moan about how glorious were the past days.
...
Just play the damn game, or move on. Less QQ more pew pew. Kktnxbai.

I have more fun with Guild Wars now than I ever did in the past, but it's still fun to remember.

Q Q Less

I remember opening GW in 2005 December, because I thought it looked so cool and had to get it. I remember getting bored with my level 8 ele at Frontier Gate, and my lvl 11 Ranger at shiver peaks, and developing my Warrior hate because they felt so slow.
I remember quitting from boredom that same month, I remember Factions coming out and I was like "WTF ASSASSIN, SWEET"

I don't remember nerfs >.> the overload exploded my memory.

I remember my ranger being R/N and was a "hybrid" using Range and Minions.....then I realized It sucked ass and tried furiously to get skills to fix it.

I remember, when all you would hear is 55. Now theres A/E E/A .....55

I wish I paided better attention to game economy back then.

I remember when nobody's mouths moved during cut-scenes. I kinda miss that.

haha i remember the old days of that. Telepathy was a major part of the game back then, so to speak.
