First was a monk, but since I had to use ress so frequently, I gave up on the role. Switched to an ele, and then to a mesmer, the last 2 my main characters ever since 2 months after world opening event.

What's all this "first I made a an ele, but I didn't understand the game and deleted her at Drok's for a warrior..." business? I have yet to delete any of my PvE characters. I think I'm emotionally attached.
I chose a ranger first because I wanted a pet. I still haven't gotten rid of my first strider...

My First was a Ranger, after I had played rangers in other games.

While later made a warrior that became my "main", then a while later created a monk who is now my "main".

I voted Ranger.
I bought Factions several months ago and I was crazy about having a pet and being able to attack enemies farther than they could retaliate (with longbows). Yeah, I was a complete noob; I even had a hard time to get to the 2nd mission, never mind getting off the island. Anyway, I deleted that ranger when I got to the mission with celestials. Since then I've had many other characters, and I made another ranger with which I finished Factions... then deleted him (did the same thing with my Elementalist). Currently I have a Warrior, Necromancer, Mesmer, and Assassin, and I plan to make a Dervish and a Ranger when I get Nightfall. Oh, and my favorite primary is the Necromancer

Warrior... Cuz theres no greater satisfaction than swinging that axe into the face of the enemy....Setting them on fire is fun too though.

First was Necro, since i was into the necro in diablo 2
Then Warrior, for the aspect of pvp
Then Monk...since everyone needed one
Then I made a Ranger and Ele at the same time
-Made another warrior for sole purpose of running (attributes, weapons, skills all ready set)
-Mesmer
-Assasin
-Ritualist
- Then Deleted Ritulist, a N/Rt was just more stable for energy.
-Made another monk for sole purpose of survior title
-Turned my "running" warrior into a mule since the new option for auto switching profs came into play
-Made Dervish

My first character was a N/E, I was going to use blood magic to steal life to stay alive and some fire spells to deal loads of dmg
Too bad Guild Wars wasn't that simple so i thought i sucked and got boored.. then i made a warrior and after that i loved GW.. I have been playing for 9 months non-stop until last week.. today i had *1 week ago* omg.. but now im gonna start again
I've found my true "nature" now: mesmer(so fast.. i love fast stuff.. no delay on spells.. just.. fast, i love it) and dervish(i get annoyed by the slow attack speed of the scythe sometimes though.. heart of fury FTW)

I started with factions and I made a Ranger for my first class because I wanted a pet and a bow.

Gunther Hesse, R/Mo, from day one of Prophecies was my first character. I teamed up with my necro daughter all the way through that chapter, even while she was in Scotland for a few months. He's just parked in the later stages of Factions, which we never finished, and we both made new characters for Nightfall. I don't think I'll ever delete him.

I usually go for some sort of fast, agile drect fighter, but Prophecies didn't have that, so I made a ranger. I only make one character each chapter, but i use them all continuously.

My first ever character was an Elementalist/Ranger that I created when I first logged on at the start of the October 2004 Open Beta Event.

My first once the game went live was my Ranger.

Monk was my first.

Every MMORPG I've played, the healers were always in high demand, and I wanted to have an easy time getting groups to learn the ropes.

I've played all the classes but the one I always come back to is the monk. Everybody needs healing.

I <3 warriors. Everyone needs someone to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women/men (making Conan more PC).

I'm back from holiday visits in the frozen north (New England USA). Before we all get caught up in the Winterfest finale, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this poll (which closes on January 1st).

Many people were surprised by the answers (including me) as no one expected mesmers to beat out monks or rangers to be so popular.

Ranger/Necro For me. 'Course now he's a beastmaster and can't spare any slots for another profession...

Started a ranger in Nightfall just to see but, ummmm she got deleted due to extreme dissatisfaction with the rubbish look of the armour.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I don't remember if my Necro was my very first character or not. It's been over a year and a half since I started playing. Anyway, I made her as a N/Mo, because I enjoyed the duality of those two professions. I'm weird that way.

Warrior! Mainly because Warriors usually tend to have a rather wide range of uses and durability, which turned out to be true Though now I'm kinda of attracted to both the Assassin and Dervish.

Elem, because I thought they looked kickass in one of the GW preview videos on Gamespot , Monk secondary because I was used to having healing magic in other RPGs (FF etc.)

Necro, I planned it out ages before getting the game, as I waited for a new top of the range computer to come my way, controlling minions sounded insanely fun, I was kind of let down, and later slowed down on my necro, but he eventually became my favorite again, and I grew to love being an MM, and now every other role that necromancers can play.

Female warrior - bless her she taught me well - this is my first rpg/mmo. She taught me that running round with a big axe is sooooooooooo much fun and great stress relief

I deleted her about 4 weeks ago. I'd left her at Aurora Glide(?) because I built another warrior not long after, who I still have and will never delete.
