What profession was your first character?
Jeff Highwind
Wow, Rangers are winning?
Emik
Necromancer here...
First character i've created was a N/E. after that i rolled back to N/Mo coz i didn't know the secondary could be changed after ascension.
Still my most played character with over half of my 2100+ hours playing time under his belt

my first on beta before release was a necro, but as soon as the game came out i made a ranger and played his way through prophecies, only then i head back to necro, so i better vote as ranger as well

Warrior,
I'm surprised to see ranger winning at the moment, but ranger was my second character.

Ranger. It just sounded cool. Ignored him for a while because he wasn't powerful enough. Finally forced myself to get him past the Northern Shiverpeaks and started getting some better skills. He was my first character through Cantha and Elona.
Orange Milk
Ranger
He now has 3.4mil exp
Infact hes the only PvE char I have left and the only one I've ever finished a chapter with (factions and Prophicies) all the others I've started and not liked. It will be awhile befor ehe completes NF, I honestly dont like it.
9 slots
1 PvE
7 PvP
1 open

first was a tank . . . easy toon to learn game basics on but imo, boring 2nd was a monk . . 
by far most favorite toon and main character. it seems any other toon I make gets put back on the shelf and becomes a mule . . I have 3 others . . ranger, fire ele, dervish

Quite interesting how popular the traditional damage-dealing roles (warrior, ranger, elementalist) are so much more popular than the core professions, with monk, the most popular group profession of all, being by far the lowest.
boxterduke
what else other than the mighty Mesmer.

Warrior. It was a W/N using touch spells and other blood magic spells. Anyways I deleted that char after couple days of playing and created an elementalist, which I deleted in a week or so.
Esprit
I typically play a Mage type character in these kind of games, and Elementalist was the closest profession to that and so I chose that as my first profession.
Ozric
Ele back during the WPE 2004. Still got some screenies of him with a sword and shield,...and he was a E/Mo. I think I'd just seem some movie with some guy named Gandalf swingin a sword around er sumthin,...Ooooh the noobizm.
Jeff Highwind
I bet if the Farmer population would answer the Monk population would shoot up indefinetly.

Elementalist. First class I created and really stuck with. My ele has most of my hours in overall playtime and she's the only one I'ver ever not considered deleting and re-creating.
I picked Ele because I love the idea of raining fire down on the enemies head and even with the AoE changes I feel ele's can still really dish out the damage and be effective.

Ranger for me. I'm a sucker for bows.

Started out with monk, going mo/e, firestorm ft.. I was pressured by my cousin to start as a monk because there weren't many at all, still I played 1000/2000 hours with it, the other 1000 are from war, nec, and rit, ive made an ele and ranger once for each campaign. The only class I haven't tried in pve is mesmer, got alot of skills unlocked, wouldn't be a problem doing.
Sientir
Long thread. o.O
My first character was a E/W. For some reason, I liked the idea of having powerful spells and a sword or something...the combo worked well actually. That is, until I got to Kryta or so. I no longer have that ele, but I do have a level 20 ele from Tyria. So now my oldest character is my monk.

Wow, its cool to see I'm one of the few that took the monk option first. Out of the core professions, we've got the lowest percentiles.
Eugaet
My first was an Ele, this was during the E3 open beta. After retail release of Prophecies, I went W/N. She's still what I consider my main char. I did finally create another Ele after NF release...and I've been playing her exclusively ever since.
teenchi
Ranger! Still have the very first char I created 19 months and 800+ deaths later.
Tazaki
First character I made way back in Ch1 beta was my necro. My monk was also made back then and was my second character, hes since been made my primary character. Have a lot more fun on my monk then me necro lately. Tho I still have love for them both^^
ducktape
I picked a warrior because the idea of being really strong and chopping monsters with my sword seemed appealing, as well as being a good way to get used to the game. I still have her, but I hardly play her anymore.
Lady Callingwell
Mesmer, simply because screwing others over (as I read in the description) is the coolest thing to do in games, and still loving her 
Redfeather1975
Mine was a Me/Mo in prophecies.
I still play him the most, although he is a Me/A now.

Ele... gotta love fire.. btw I had a B-Day with him recently.. WTS Jade Armor Mini 10k (PM me IGN: Kijik Oni Hanryuu...I don't play much on that char but add me to friends and pm me for it)
Absolute Destiny
Warrior.
First char was W/N, and since then I've also created a W/E.
Just fits my playstyle the best (bum rushing is FUUUN).
Interesting to note that players of other professions thought I rushed into battle too much...even though that's kinda the driving point of the profession.

My Necro.
Starting from the E3 for Everyone test through all the beta tests and then into release he was my only character. I've gone on to try them all now, but he's the only one that I haven't deleted or remade.
Always the first to play through the new game, to get the new weapons and armor, to capture the new skills. He'll be the one to continue leading my characters through all the campaigns.

Mesmer because it's all about control !
Illuminus
On the launch of GW i made a Warrior/Monk... o the horror! I deleted him though after the release of Factions which i regret now
Stranger The Ranger
An Ele... I didnt play too much on him tho...
I played him for 2 months, I also did some PvP on a PvP Ele.
I changed my mind when I saw a Ranger Spike team in action, I was like "Whoah", 'cause I always thought Rangers cant do too much dmg(blame ignorance ><).
So, I deleted my first Ele, and made the Ranger I have today :P

Ranger/Mesmer
Mostly for the versatility of the Ranger. Liked the fact that it could be a solid interrupter(Read up on it beforehand...*Geek*). Changed second profession to Monk after ascension for the solid res. Now I switch between R/Me, R/Mo, R/N, R/W, R/A, R/Rt depending on what I'm doing. ^^

W/R, deleted him.

ranger's #1? that can't be right. Gaile must be playing with the poll 
it's interesting but i'd bet thats not an accurate poll in terms of all the GW players.

The poll results are a sampling of GW owners who are active on this forum. As with most polls, it can only indicate a trend.
Now if we could get the "bot farmers" to participate, I'm sure monks would take a sudden jump.

I chose ranger after liking Legolas in Lotr.
But I soon after deleted him after Ascending. Not too sure why.
Then few months later made a new Ranger, who I still have but is just my Storage player. Don't really like Rangers anymore.
