Does anyone remember the day Guild Wars died? Or at least the day it rolled back?
Post any screenshots you took the day Guild Wars crashed, hoards of ectos, exp milestones set back, or graphical anomolies.

Here's mine, My Wammo was leaving pre-searing when guildwars rolled back, a half hour of me and Orian running around durning the firebombing ensued.

I was in Dragon's lair with my monk when my guild was like "OMFG!! SUP VIGOR AND ECTOS ARE 100g!!! OMFG!!!" so I had my friend buy me a bunch of sup vigors, but then they rolled back right as I entered the guild hall to get them XD I didn't lose much, I had already had dragon's lair done, I was just there for a skill cap, and the roll back happened after I got the skill so I was all good

I remember I bought Victo's Blade for like 15k during the crash, I didn't like the sword and then when I logged in after being kicked I had my 15k back and the sword was gone. GG

I only heard about ecto and stuff being messed up after the rollback.

Sorry to bump, but what actually happened here? What was it that made the ectos this cheap?

Screens of that was obtained during the market crash which was not rolled back would be even cooler.

Lol! I had forgotten about that.

A bunch of us guildies had just finished Hells Precipice and watched the boat at the end sail off for Droks without us at the cutscene! We then ran around the docks confused for a bit till we saw all the activity on the forums that explained it.

That and the time they broke the AI where the mobs attacked each other for mad loot drops you could pick up was the best.

There's a boat at the end of Hells Precipice?

I need to go and do that mission again, I can't even remember that...

We had a similar thing happen to us during the 'great crash'. We'd just jumped on the boat in Sanctum Cay, and then dc'd during the cutscene. When we finally got back on there was no Amnoon Oasis for us.

Had to go back and do it again... bah

That is what post searing should really look like as there is still some green in there like it does in the cutscene.

This was an odd thing that happened during a festival last year. Myself and two friends wandered out of Shing Jea by accident, and then couldn't get back in properly. You could run through portals without changing instance. You can see on either end we just reached a hard limit. It uncovered the training area for my Tyria char, which at the time was impossible.

I was about to play an emo song and slit my wrists when I realized it was probably just faulty technology. 'Till we meet again, Hawthrone Heights. Keep...blacking those eyes after you cut those wrists...

Ugh, what awful crap.
