Does anyone remember the time when nobody knew of the 6 months system and factions wasnt announced yet?
The time when people where still going around without maxed out weapons even at lvl20, and when not many people had greens?
The time when FoW armor was uber leetxorx, and if you had one people would really admire you?
I came back to the thought of the old times when i saw somebody sell victos blade for 3k, and i thought back at the times when it used to cost 80k, and victos shield 100k.
In those times Victos weapons, even if the axe and hammer where not as sought, where the most uber leet weapons to have and everyone worked their ass off to get one of those weapons.
But look at us nowerdays.
Everyone wields a green weapon of some kind, and there are literally hundreds of greens.
I also see people have several 15k for every single char they own, and many even have fow for each char...
Thats when i miss the good old times, where a non maxed out gold sword was worth a lot of k, and i only used to dream of a green in my hands...
A thought about the past...

The six month system was ANNOUNCED well before Factions was introduced.
FOW armor wasn't "leet" because ebayers flooded in after GW hit around 1 million players.
And there were a lot of things I don't miss. For example: dye previews, refund points, no skill templates, no observer mode, no scrimmage matches...

I miss the way mobs don't run from AoE.

I'd like to know where you get the stat "most people have multiple sets of FoW armor." I'm like, the richest guy in my alliance of 500 people, and I'm like one of the only guys who has a set.

Dude check out the screenshot exposition and youll see people who post 5 chars with FoW...

I miss it too, the past was better, when not all was about RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing money, but the spirit of guild wars is gone , and even more with the introduction of the shitty DoA
which make silly people farming it like robots -_-

Ooooh man how I long for those days...If you look back at the awesome weapons screenshot thread, it's so neat to see all those unmaxed purples and blues.
*Sigh*...

come to think of it, forget abut Guild Wars, let's all go play PONG.

Well, the six month cycle was announced before prophecies even came out (of course not called Prophecies back then) in the FAQ on their site. Overall I do miss the old days, mostly because I use to play with rl friends but they have all moved on now. I'm not entirely sure I miss the whole feeling like a noob for the first few weeks bit though :P
Ah someone above me mentioned griffon farming, I can remember power leveling my third character with a friend via griffon farming. Oh, and the first time the Frog spoke, which as far as I'm concerned remains the best special event in GW thus far - so many people sync dancing at the same time.

Betas were the best time on GW,nothing can bring back the excitement we had back then about the new game and the unexplored wastness that was before us.
Still it always nice feeling to go to new terretory ,like it was in Factions and then elona.Now its GWEN... cant wait ^_^.

It is sad, but that is what happens with every game with as big a following as Guild Wars. The wonderful thing is, there are always new games to give that special feeling that everyone talks about but can't express completely. We are especially lucky in that we will get this in GW2. Play GW for what it is now, and don't dwell on what it was. When GW2 comes out, we will have the best of both worlds: an old and conquered game, and a new one to explore and just play.

At least I remember wondering why the "first new" campaign wasn't coming as it was supposed to be, and instead the Sorrows Furnace Update came. And... yeah, I remember thinking that at that time...

Imagine... I remember the times before there were runners. When chests weren't locked. When runes were so expensive that almost noone could afford them. When there were no titles. If you wanted to do something, you just did it for yourself, not to be awarded a title...
But who am I telling that? Some of you know it from their own experience, others don't care.
@MirageMaster
I know what you mean, although I wasn't in the Betas, the WPE 2004 was great... all that unexplored land... all the things to see... (and only three days time to do it.) Although Guild Capes looked like... how do you call those things that you bind around small childrens necks so they don't drool/spill food on their clothes?

Yea Griffon runs were the best. I cant stomach what the hell happened to Wrcamp. I get so depressed going to that place and see it totally empty like any other prophecy town in the dessert and/or shiverpeaks.

Yea I miss the good old days. Especially the used and abused pvp builds (spirit spamming, ether renewal smiting to name a few) kekeke. The game used to be tons of fun back then. Pve today isn't anywhere near as fun as it used to be to. Chest runs were fun then they got lame by being made randomized. This game feels like such a chore. It went from being the greatest game to a steaming pile of fecal matter. Playing this game is as exciting as watching flies RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO. I'm hoping hard mode well add some sort of replayability to this game.
onerabbit
Griffons were so fun!
and farming Ettins for runes, as they was so much bk then
god i miss them times
picking up a pug to farm anything and anywhere!

I know the feeling. Even things that sucked, you kinda miss them. The most exciting time for me was the preview events back in 2004. Kryta was like awsome, with etins, a lv 15 char, people running to the desert, lion's arch and the world center, hehe, miss that.

Uncalled for? He says remember the old days when no-one had access to anything remotely decent in the way of gear, and then QQs in his very next thread about not being able to get free maximum gear on his character.
trobinson97
Oh yes, the "old" days. Waaaaay back in 2005/2006....yes, they are so missed.
