Memories From an old Pro,

I was browsing through the new games out and after seeing an advert for GW:EN i was wondering how the old GW world was getting on.

I played GW solidly for a Year before exams and other commitments got in the way.

so let me just reminisce a little,

Who remembers the very first 55 monk builds? where just about any monk could make riches with only 1k startup costs? those were the days,

And when in halls you couldn't tell the difference between a rank 3,4, and 5, and a rank 6,7 and 8 etc. Or before that when you could always get into a group because nobody was any higher than rank 3!

If anyone has anything they missed from way back then post it here so we can all remember the good old days.

-THE M-

Probably one of my favorite memories was when I pressed M in Post-Searing and said "Look at the size of this place! I can't wait to explore it all!" When I was done with the game, I was bummed when I realized that only about a little more than half of all the map was used.

And I can't ever forget getting that full set of Droknar's Platemail. Oh how I love the pigmail!

Another thing i remember doing was looking at the presearing map and running through the world thinking how big that was and presuming that was the whole game world.

Also how epic i felt doing the initial little PvP fight at the end of presearing, and how annoyed i was when we lost.

i remember after everything got all burnt up and I entered the real Tyria I looked at the map and saw the fire islands and was determined I would explore my way there. Little did I know that you had to follow a story line and all that jazz and couldnt just run straight to a dock from Ascalon

i remember when there weren't supply and demand for dye traders, and i remember the really old interface and menu for the dye trader.oh and when black dye was 35k ahh yeah lol.

I still remember asking 'How do I get a platinum?'

Those were the days!

I remember ecto dropping in piles of 4 and people selling them for 125-200 gold. I also remember rank sticks, colored pets, skill gems, skill rings, 1k black dye, 100k Sup Vigor/Absorption... so on and so forth.

I remember when the casual farmer could actually farm and have a good time doing it, as opposed to having to do it.

KANE

i remember buying my first sword. At that time fiery dragon sword was the "in" thing and i remember at lvl 10 i used all my gold about 5k to buy a purple +13 stance req 11 fiery dragon sword. I was so happy.

I remember this:

I remember when a big drop was 2gp.
I remember skill crystals.

Best of all was the first time I went to the random arena in Kyhlo. I was hooked.

Ah good times...

Running around the desert opening barrels for FREE ;>

I remember when I first got to post searing on my little level 7 warrior. I saw a group looking for a warrior for Last Day Dawns. I clamped down on the Shift key and said "I'LL GO, I'LL GO!" Their response to me wasn't nice at all.

I remember with black dye and ecto were 100k...when towns were full of people looking to group for missions NOT sell...gold drops were kick butt...etc etc etc

Still got and love using my pigmail.
<----I use it for my pic.

I remember the times when there were no PvP characters and the pve was fun.

I remember when I could come onto the Guild Wars forums and not see several new topics complaining about everything you can think of.

There are issues that are acceptable to be complained about, but every aspect of the game is criticized in one way or another these days.

AHHhh thw good ole days .... atribute refund points, free to open chests in predictable locations, Fiery Dragon swords, 50 minions, and much more fun in pve.

I remember the march glitch. obsidians, ectos, sup vigors and absorption were being sold at 250g.

They rolled it back :\

I remember getting spammed as a lvl20 Monk in noob island, since the hero-system however there's no teamplay involved...
