"The best guild in the world" -ANet

These are nice to look at and see how far this game has come. Some really stick out to me since I only started playing a few months after release.

Lighting Changed Here?

This supposed to be from Glint's Lair?

Never got to see this version of the tele shrines

lol was this the first wintersday event?

woah wth 250k from a quest?

woah....

E3 was a very early stage of Guild Wars and elite skills didn't yet exist. However there were elite skills since the first beta event, I believe. If there are any later screenshots without elites then it's probably because I didn't have one worth using yet. Back then there were no faction points, pre-made templates, or "starter packs." If you wanted an elite skill you were forced to use a Capture Signet.

Hang on, what's with the Factions screenshots at the same time as Proph ones?

Was Factions really in development that early? There's even one outpost just called "Cantha"...

dunno about you guys but i actually prefer the old interface shown in these screenshots.. they fit much better in my opinion.

I think guru just gained a hero.

This should be perma-stickied or something.

I miss the old Guild Wars.

I'm drunk (gogo white lightning) and for some reason this is amaxinz! I just love guild wars from day one. can't wait for the next guild wars for when real people play it again.

The alpha test existed (probably still exists) far into the retail launch. Some of those shots are from the earliest Factions zones that were already being developed when Prophecies released.

Awesomeness!
Absolutely love the oldschool GW, still keeping my 2004/05 screen collection, but I regret not making so many of them back then.
Big thanks for posting that.

Now I got a good way to spend a few next hours in nostalgia

Good memories there. Mind you some of that was before I started playing. Account is 44 months old now I think.

My earliest memory is doing the Gates of Kryta-esque mission during the betas. I remember wild boars...

Shame I deleted my first character. I didn't like the look of the monks one month in, and their starting spells were pretty lame.

I looked through them, boy did they bring back memories.

I even saved a few for wallpapers and rememberance.

Last picture, of Prince Rurick, Add that helm back for warriors please!!

Ah yes, the old Frost Gate bonus quest if I recall correctly - instead of weapon plans you found a bird cage.

Thanks for putting these up.

I like this one.

Nice stuff, but there is so many takes me hours look em all :d

Didn't remember that there was some ACTION in The Vault map instead of just waiting.
Coool!
Fighting spirits and searching for a key to a treasure chest under that bridge sounds awesome :>

Who Doesnt? Almost brings tears in my eyes see so nostalgic things
