My best time was probably when I first started, I was a monk at the time. Even then everyone was partying. It would have to be when I first got to Lion's Arch after crossing the shiverpeaks.

Runner up would be doing a mission in Factions (forgot the name...it was an annoying one that let you use two teams of players) as an assassin, and fighting off all those enemies to get Togo alive...Sadly I died, a lot...Poor assassins


But I'm not active in GW anymore...still on the forums, and trying to find a way to get back to it.

Abbaddon's Mouth with my Paragon. Shortage of monks, the group wouldn't take heroes, so I ran a Motivation Paragon. 3 Warriors, ranger, ele, one monk, a necro, and me. Two warriors and the monk rage quit before we got out of the first area. We not only managed to finish, we somehow got the bonus.

I soloed the last section of one of the Ring of Fire missions. I forget which one. I think it was Abaddon's Mouth or something.

But anyway, my entire team rage quit at the end because ONE monk left. And far too proud to just walk away near the end like the weaklings before me, I went on to finish the game. A few jade rangers, a monk boss, no problem.

Lol, someone mentioning Abaddon's Mouth and being short a monk reminded me of the time I joined a PUG to help them. I was only there to cap an elite, but they begged me to join, so I did, as I like helping out while on my monk and have many memorable times in PUGs. My guild was awaiting favor so we could do a run to the Forgemaster, and I was one of the officers that usually went. We didnt have favor, so I had plenty of time... so I thought.

Turned out they decided to do the bonus also (yes, run Leah RUN!), but before we even got that completed, half the party ran off to do something and got themselves killed. I stayed with Leah since they didnt clear the path for her. It was hilarious, frankly. Then ensued much arguing and several left, including the other monk. That left myself, a necro, a ranger an ele and someone else. The ele had tanking syndrome and kept charging things, so had high DP. No one would have stayed - no one should have stayed. It was one of those legendary nightmare PUGs the likes of which I havent had too many (thankfully - my pugging experience had been mostly positive).

The poor necro wanted the mission completed so badly, we all decided to stay and help her, and we finished it. It was great fun. It always reminded me later on that it wasnt the perfect party that mattered as much as simply the team played well together and listened to each other. I wouldnt call it my best GW moment, but it was one I looked back on fondly and was happy to complete as a lone monk. Although, I delayed my guild's FoW run (I was getting joking flak on channel the entire time) as well as I never got my skill cap.

QFT.

I remember a PUG i was in on my first time finishing NF. We were doing Gate of Pain and 2 of the group left when our monk went afk. So we were 3 players down with 5 dryders to go. I was new to the Derv class as were most of us in the group apart from the Paragon. It was kinda funny that this Paragon who i'd only just met, was talking us through it. He told us to keep trying, boosted our confidence even with full death penalty. I still remember that guy a year on. It really inspired me to see someone like them. Natural born leader

Another good moment was fighting shiro with my ranger in NF. We had a very very bad choice of builds in terms of beating him. We'd get him down to 1/4 then he'd wipe the majority of the team out, leaving the tank the only choice to break aggro and let him go back so we can heal up. The entire team had gotten bored, but our derv insisted on one last try. Again we got to the 1/4 mark, 4 of the team die and people start resigning. The derv uses a few last skills before dying and leaving just me and a monk. Shiro's health bar is literally empty at this point so instead of running and seeing everyone telling me to break aggro, i used the last of my energy and managed to kill him. It's not that great of an accomplishment, but after countless tries and a very frustrated team, it felt great to have finally beaten him as the last player alive.

Playing an Assassin in RA, and going up against a Warrior (obviously I won, because Assassin > Warrior) and killing him in a few seconds through an awesome spike.

I'd have to say, not ever exploiting the game and as a consequence not being banned....

The period between Sept 05 and the release of Factions, for me that was when the game was at it's best, no question.

Personal moment:

Soloing (without heroes and henchmen) the Dunes of Despair mission with my Whammo after the 20th try. Man, that was elation.

Guild Wars moment:

The 2005 Halloween event. It was the first true event that I attended, and I was awestruck as to how much fun everyone was having.

Guild Wars era:

The Introduction of Sorrow's Furnace. The hype was incredible leading up to the release, and A-Net lived up to it.

Finishing Kathandrax HM with only 5 chars in party (2 humanS/3heroes), without any monk or healer, because the monk with her heroes crashed when entering the dungeon. We were a ranger, and a warrior, with this heroes: SS necro, 1 WAH ele, 1 ranger interrupter, the warrior didn't bring any healing skill and me only Breath of the Great Dwarf, mending touch with storm chaser as energy management. Amazing, when we reached the final boss.

It was incredibly funny.

When they added new armor sets and pieces to Prophecies (i.e.:Labyrinth, Gladiator helm, etc).
When they added Insignia worldwide.
When they added new greens to Factions Credits area.

I love that kind of things.

My best moment was just in Pre-searing when I first started. Playing with all my school friends and rocking those devourers! The first-level part of any game is normally the best.

Playing in a crappy gwp pug earth spike and beating another crappy gwp pug earth spike, partly due to earthquaking Awowa's infuse intentionally.
