What is your favorite GW memory?

I don't really have a lot of "fond" memories or sentimental attatchment to the game, but farming my first totem axe was a good feeling. I also remember the joy of getting a req 9 15>50 stormbow at tombs.

Meeting the avatar of my friend from the Bloodlines forums in Ashford abbey was something new.

Actually exploring pre searing for the first time is the best memory. It was all so pretty!

getting some while I was farming rotscale. My group was at the killing rotting dragons while I stood back (as a tank) and waited. As they worked ummm, you could say I got a bonus and a damn good drop from my GF.

Best farmin' I ever did and I didn't get the drop from rot either.

Last year Halloween. Dances, quizzes (props to T.U., those are the initials of the officilial 2005 quizzman), congas, ...

getting my minipet BONE DRAGON FTW

Realizing I could use Vital Boon on my D/N any number of times during the preview. Koss and I were getting pounded and then I remembered Vital Boon. I did it 3x in a row and then did Grenth's Fingers FTW. Darn Skree Harpies...

Having the following public chat.

Me: Hey you if your going to stare at her at least pay her.
war: Wa dur... Me?
Female Rit: ? huh what's this for?
Female Rit: Thank you

For some reason it works to often.

Finally finishing my FoW armor early in the morning after joining a pug group.

Just about any guild group run of any high level area is about tied with that on my top memories

Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer after the cinematic in hell's, backtracking.

The first very snowy mission in the the Shiver Peaks. Awsome!

Woot to that... The change of scenery was very much needed after searing...


I spent at least 3 (maybe 5-7??) days in pre-sear with my first character, my ranger... -- Finding the three skill-trainers way hell-&-gone in the middle of nowhere, Everything about Pre was great...

But yes, once the searing happens everything got (and stayed) pretty depressing for a long while. Finally getting up into the shiverpeaks and that beautiful, white, snowy-wonderland was pure bliss, reminded me of Canada in the Winter

That, and running all the way to Kryta for the first time (skipping Borlis Pass (the other BP)) ... A tough run with just henchies, but well worth it to find the tropical beauty of Kryta for the first time, with "Temple of Tolerance" playing in the background to open the scenes of white beaches and lush greenery...

My favorite memory... hmmmm a couple stand out (all pve)

1) Clawing my way with guildies to get my 1st FOW set after 4 of the pug members bailed on us.
2) Playing with said guildies in a 4/4 pug mix again and using vengenance on a pug member, laughing so hard that I started crying at the comments being made by wammo each time they flopped over after it wore off. (yea it was mean but fun!)
3) Wandering around Ascalon completely lost as a newbie to the game.
4) Exploring Sorrows Furnance for the first time.


None of the memories come from Factions though... not sure if that is because I really didn't enjoy it (still don't) or they simply didn't top the first impressions of the game.

I have quite a few good memories like the first time I ventured out with a group of friends instead of henchies or strangers.

Ascending and my first view of Glint. Impressive!

getting my first 1k
(sounds extremely retarded, i know)

Yeah getting to Yak's Bend was exciting.

The best memory I have probably is when Factions came out and the Arborstone Mission was still glitched. I had a really fun party that cleared the entire mission and spent nearly three hours getting Danika to move little by little. What made it so great though was the people.

Guild Wars really shines when you're in a group with not just good player but ones that are fun also.

My absolutely best memory of GW was when I was playing through the game for the first time about 15 months ago.

I was at Beetletun and someone was saying "making group to fight to Temple of Ages".

I joined the group. None of us were over level 14 as far as I can remember.

We had great fun fighting, running, and stealthing our way there even though none of us really knew the way! It must have taken us an hour and a half.

We actually made the trip with me being the last person alive after we got wiped out by one of the bone dragons near ToA.

I can still "hear" the other guys on the group yelling "Go Hengis!!" as I stormchaser-ed past the last few monsters and into ToA.

One of if not the best gaming moments in my life :-))))

Best memory... hmmm....

Probably the feeling of awesome, god-like power upon getting firestorm in Pre-searing... Fear me, Aloe Seeds, fear me.

That, or killing my first Wurm. ^^

Walking with a friend from Ascalon to Pockmark flats with extremely low level characters in the first few days of the games release. Back when I was a scrub.

Finishing Naphui Quarter with my monk in a PUG after the other monk and a warrior left less than a minute into the mission. The only time that PvE was actually challanging.

getting my first 100k and also my first HoH win
