Hello,I felt like creating this thread to bring up some memories and chat a little about experiences.
So,do you still remember your first account?
I am still playing it..Ares Moonlight.It has been there for over 19 months and I still love it.It has always been a R/ME and will always be as I won't change the secondary any time soon.
My best memory about Ares is when I finally finished the mission at thirsty river.It costed me several weeks.And offcourse when a stranger gave me a Sundering Storm bow of Marksmanship.I still use the bow presently
The name Ares Moonight came from 2 directions.
I wanted a RPG name that sounded like a Ranger(always favoured these)
So i thought of Ares(God of War) and Moonlight as Rangers are very still and lurk around in the dark.
And you..What do you remember?
Your first character.
Ares Moonlight
Kook~NBK~
My first character was a ranger as well. I had a lot of fun with him, got a bear as a pet and played around with beast mastery, but eventually got bored with it (way before factions came out & Tombs got changed) and decided to use the slot to make a Mesmer.
To account for his demise, I made up a story about how his pet bear went into hyperphasia and attacked, killed, and ate him.

Sorry I only noticed that typo later.
I used to be a full time Runescape Player where every charr was called an account.

The story of my first character was rather interesting. You see, I was a W/Mo before it was the popular noob thing to do. Granted, since it was opening day, and I had the name reserved since the Beta, I wanted to do something similar.
Arnold Schwrtznggr still has a reserved spot, and will be used once I get something better than an awful Satellite connection.
Anyhow, I had put Arnold on hiatus when I realized that I saw lots of advertisements for more casters in parties, and a few days later, I created my monk, but it was by playing that monk that I learned to better understand the task of a warrior, so I started playing as him again.
Since every campaign has been released, Arnold has been the first of my characters to complete it, and get the new items associated with it. Starting out in 15k gladiators, which he wore for a long time, he used a customized axe he bought in Droks that served him well until factions. Then he took the arduous task of farming Sskai's Sword, Wing's Axe, and finally trading his amulet of the mists for an Aegis.
After Nightfall came out, Arnold finally sold his favored 15k Gladiators for 15k Primeval, and sports it in a proud blue color, as well as wielding a Forgotten Axe that he also received at endgame.
If I happen to get a decent connection again by the time the next GW game comes out, you can be rest assured that I will be bringing Arnold through it, until the end, doing whatever it takes, well, after Arnold unlocks Razah whenever I get the chance.
It will be a good day when the intrepid SYPR guild sees Arnold back in full force once again.

Smile Like Umean It
My first character was also a ranger. Named her Rikers Remedy cause I was trying to be clever and a smart ass at the same time. and I still have her to this day. She got me my first set of 15k (for second char, also a ranger) and I used her for everything SF, UW, FoW etc etc.
I consider the her mother of my account. She got me pretty far in the game in general. So, even though I don't play her anymore I do occasionally farm with her. Brings back memories. Is nice.

My first char was a necromancer Folken Dragonbane. He came from my days of roleplaying on free UO servers. He was always a bad-ass necromancer type wizard guy, evil as hell yet always held a sense of respectability. Had him since pre-release and I just now got 15k armor on him, lol. He got neglected really bad after I came back to the game from a hiatus and made my ranger (who's now sitting on 2 15k sets and 1 10k set, with quite a few weapons and tons of elites). But now that I've pretty much got my ranger maxed out I'm back to working on the necro.
SerenitySilverstar
I only have the one account, and my first toon was a Necro. She's my special girl, my original, almost "Me". I have never deleted a toon I've started. They're all special.
With the non-existant knowledge I had of GW when I first started, I chose Blood Necro because it sounded "self sustaining and self sufficient". I also vowed never to play a Warrior or Monk, because they were the two most "over represented" classes.
I now do have a Warrior (only started in NF tho, coz I love the W/D idea), but a monk is still definitely a no-no

Why would you not take advantage of different secondary capabilities in different situations?

my warrior, Acherulis Maximus. Got the game cause some online friends of mine said it was pretty good, they dont even play it anymore but i do. Thought of Acherulis Maximus after I got done watching the movie Troy, dont know why I chose that name but I still use the warrior and he brings in the most money to my account with my mesmer which is about 4 months younger then my warrior in close second.
My Warrior was actually my 3rd char, but made on the second day I owned the game. Had 2 monks before him but deleted both because I didnt like to play Monk and have tried making monks since him but each has been deleted and 1 turned into a mule.

first one was a ranger since i feel in love with the spirits. the plan was to play a party buffer with ranger spirits only - fertile, symbiosis, ...
then i played around with secondaries and raised my first stiffy as a necro and i was never the same again!
deleted the ranger and made a necro!
the second comming happened when i got bored of mm-ing and tried out curses.
soo good!

Age
I like the look of the one in presearing beta fond memories from back then anyway my first was a W/N named Mighty Red.When it came to to play retail after the 27th when I went to play my Warrior being my #1 at the time the name was taken as I was playing with my Monk and getting her started.I made another one called Mighty Redd never felt the same as the old beta one did so no my #1 is my Monk and for which I am glad for as I like my Monk although she did start off as a Mes/R but only lasted overnight and got deleted.
The Bloodrose
My first character was a Warrior. Annaleahlynn Waevyn. I stole the name and the class from my EQ1 character(whom I still play), Annaleahlynn Waeverynn. Who in turn I stole from a AD&D character by the same name. She was my favorite and still is. I like to pull her out to go AB or PvP every now and then.
Malice Black
My first char is still my favorite and most played.
Trylo
trylo kanai 
he was my first char (then i stopped crazy random names and went to latin name >_>)
happiest... well ive had a lot of happy moments, including FINALLY for the first time getting geomancer armor! (albeit 45 al) which i had wanted from the start of the game... then ether renewal ... then the nerf 
anyways i still play him most of the time

undeadgun
My first char is my avatar showing in the left, my Necro-Undead Gun, the idea of the the name came from the game Counter Strike, i used that name while i am playing it, and used it bout 2 or3 years:P. she is still my favorit char, and what makes me happy is every friend of mine call me undead even i am on another char
i like her, and she is the best of the best:P
i like her, and she is the best of the best:P
divinechancellor
first character: elementalist. I didn't have high armor till late in the game. Ouch!
Valeria
My first character was a Elementalist named Julius Marcus. I used the name marcus julius in 3 different roleplaying games (2 fantasy and shadowrun). Always the same blonde guy. After that i created a R/Me and then my primary character Valeria (W/Mo) Since i deleted and recreated the ele and ranger she's now my oldest char.
Back then i had a modem no flatrate and the first 2 Weeks i didn't even leave the tutorial
Now feel the urge to buy the old leather armor a gladius and kill some low lvl grawls (good old days when mending still rocked)

I play her more than any of my other chars, and shes by far my favourite. My Monk was created about 2 months after, which also won't be deleted =)
I deleted my prophecies mesmer in favour of a canthan one, who was 9 months old (before knowing about bday pressies) so I guess My Elementalist is the third in line now.

Warrior - Mablung Sirfalas
Deleted him because I was dissatisfied with how he looked.

Envious
Lord Cryptix - Warrior
I still have him after 18 months, but I don't play him as much as my Monkey. He's at 17 months. Ever since the titles were implemented, my monk had already closely reached two titles: wisdom, and treasure hunter. So I gave up on Cryptix, but I do play him whenever I get the urge to bash things up.

Toll Booth Willie
my first was my w/e (19 month... i think) and it has the most exp/hours, but my el/mo (18months) is catching up.
Dione Davore
My very first character was a elementalist by the name of "goddess ate" (her name is being used by someone else now I was told. They stole my name, must be because I got rank 3 with her back then ;D) She didn't last that long, she had completed Prophecies tho. I deleted her back then because I needed a free PvP-slot and I dind't like her looks after a while. (there were only 4 slots back then)
A month later my ranger was born. "Ate of DK" was her name. I see her as my first character after all. It was the first character I completed everything with and was more fun than "goddess ate". Now, after 18 months, she has over 1850 hours of playtime and 8 maxed titles. He's very well equiped with 3 sets of 15K armor and lots of green and golden low-req bows. I care for her. She's mine
!!! --- It took her 4 days after the release of Factions & Nightfall to have 100% of the map explored and get all available elites. (Not meaning the unavailable elites that were forgotten to be placed into the game)

Bryant Again
First character is my current fav, Raziel Selisuur. He's a warriah, and he's awesome. He has two U's in his last name because I had made a Raziel SelisUr on an account at Digital Ops. Since I liked the name, but since it was already in use, I just added another U to it. It looks so natural now...
Also, I got the name Selisur from a randomly generated last name from Neverwinter Nights ( <3 ).

ZenRgy
My first character, Zenrgy The Fallen a necromancer was my favourite and still most played of all my characters.
I created him seeing as at the time I thought women liked the dark and mysterious image of necromancers and perhaps I'd be able to score online while playing such a character.
My favourite memory was when my theory about necromancers actually worked and I was offered to engage in online intercourse in pre-searing, however after some time I found out that this person (who shall remain unnamed) was actually a male and had tricked me into giving many ingame items along with ingame currency in return for such acts.
It was from that point on that I would only focus on the game and not on others playing as my once naieve mind did. You must learn from your mistakes.
My most fond memory however was when I beat Galrath, this took me almost 2 months to complete and was at the time, quite a challenge.
To this day you can still see me playing my first, and favourite character I made 21 months ago, often roleplaying in the great temple of balthazar ad1.

Queenie
My first ever character was called "Alexandra Hope" she was an elementalist (All my eles had the same look Christie did).
When I first played I had no idea how to play Guild Wars, I was the biggest noob ever, my friend would help ^^ I ended up leaving pre at level 2, I had no idea. I ran around Old Ascalon, not knowing where I was. I ended up at Piken Square...somehow. I ended up deleting her a few days later =.=;

Edge Martinez
I still have my first character, same name as my forum name, but I only play him when the guild needs a monk. I came to love my fourth character, a ranger.
squan
well my first char was a warrior, Lord Squan but i was getting bored with him so i deleted him so i could make a monk. First of all it was the best thing 2 do because that was in the time that the old skool uw solo build was not nerfed so i made lots of money. But now i have a warrior again. Squan the Barbarian and i must say Warriors are so cool
Yama Sutra
My first char was , how suprising , a wa/mo.
Still use it these days for running and some hydra farming.
Named him Yama Sutra , as to today i don't really know why 
Guess i thought it sounded nice in a way

cyberjanet
My account is only 7 months old so I still have my first character. Necromancer. It took a while to find out how to play her effectively and keep her alive.
She's my favourite character and I played her the most - over 500 hours and she has over a million XP.
My second character is a ranger. I found her easier to play when I started, but there is no doubt now that the necromancer is more powerful.

cthulhu reborn
My first character is a necro. Her name is Silah Eerie, 20 months old. Still have her and will never delete her. And I have deleted a few characters since. She is a blood necro and either is a blood toucher/spiker or blood warrior.
I have 3 necro's by now and even though the 2 newer ones have MM and SS builds, I only use her with blood. Just is that way. She has 15k necrotic and primeval armour to switch between. She wields a forgotten staff and has a +5 energy broad sword with the Shadestone for the blood warrior build.

Redfeather1975
My first character was a mesmer named Hadrian. Hay-dree-an
So, I made him because I heard mesmers in PVE are rare. That's all it was.
He's been my main every since!
Oh yeah...2 months after making him I finally figured out how to play a mesmer. Up till then I'd been playing FC secondaries. lol

Curse You
I still got my Necromancer (Curse You). Amazingly, I managed to pick the perfect combo for my play style, N/Mo. The funny thing is that I was thinking of making a mesmer instead, and I still don't have a PvE mesmer (14 months later), even though I have a PvE character of all other professions.
-Loki-
My Ranger is 22 months old and never getting deleted.
Ferret
My first and now oldest character is also a ranger, it would seem to be a popular choice.
I chose a ranger as i often play them and rogues in other games and it appealled to me the most.
Now Ferret Murviedo is always the first character i take through any new chapter to the end (and the only character i bothered to complete Prophecies with) and the character i try to complete all the side-quests with. He is my main man and i love playing him, even now and still find him the most versatile and well rounded of all my characters.
Once he had 15k Druids armour, but now he runs around in 15k Cathan dyed white (with a hint of silver) and is armed with a (dyed white) zealous naga shortbow (15>50) of fortitude as his main weapon. His pet is a White Tiger by the name of Gato Blanco.
In a few months it'll be his second birthday and i cant wait to see what surprise we'll get this time around.

arcanemacabre
Countess of Carnage was my first character - a necro
She's the first one that beat Prophecies, got 15k armor (bonelace), and got my first green (Kole's Torment). I swore that she would always get the best stuff, including her heroes. However, that went down the tubes when I made my Warrior. She still gets played the most, though, and she's now decked out in Vabbian, so I think she's not complaining.

Melisande
My first character was an ele/mo named Meianko Kokueino. I started playing Guild Wars a bit late and so I just finished the game with her when Sorrow's Furnace came out.
My fondest memories of her came after my boyfriend and I met some well-known players in these forums and they invited us to come Orozar farming with them. Of course, back then I was a noob player (I actually brought healing breeze instead of aura of restoration to heal myself ) and I'm fairly sure the repeated invites came from my boyfriend's ability to keep up roughly 20 minions for extended periods of time on his MM and not me. 
Still, I learned a lot and I'm grateful that they put up with me. I'm a better player because of them. So even if they don't remember me, I still want to say: Thank you.
Unfortunately, I deleted her after the release of the AoE/DoT nerf and I can't seem to find a screenie of her anywhere.

Sophitia Leafblade
Sophitia Leafblade was my 1st char, shes the only char ive never restarted despite accumulating alot of deaths due to my early days in gw and because sometimes random suicide is fun
Shes still my main char who i play on more than any of my other characters. I had to earn money for 4 months to buy her 15k armor back in the earlier days when there was only prophecies. And like some on the above shes getting very close to her second birthday
