I never saw old hero panels ingame (because I play only for 2 years).

I wish they make it possible to switch between hero panels.
Even if they make us pay something for it (like for costumes or makeover packs).

Egads, the attribute refund. Woe to anyone who didn't know what they were doing and shot themselves in the foot with that thing.

Here are just a few of mine


The original reason why you'd pull your own hair out in Guild Wars


Some serious old school here. And look, Hundred Blades before getting elite status!


Back before they made the Ranger Dance loop like it does today


And FDS back in beta days, when it was a true rarity


One of the many, many naked dance parties during the last BWE

Bleh I think I deleted almost all my old old screenys cause they was in .bmp and took up alot of space and didn't feel like converting them all to .jpg =\ I did manage to find some tho.


lol don't know if this bug is still possible remember seeing it back in the day and laughing my butt off as this warrior was stuck in a tower...





This was when anet did a reset on prices at the merchants and stuff and ended up rolling back the servers several hours I believe to fix this. lol before this update I didn't have any of those superior vigors / absorptions / shards and this was when they were really expensive...



Here's a GM picking up gifts that dropped in a unreachable area during Kamadan's first wintersday.


Ah old school 55/SS farming in UW...

Dang, I wish I was in Guild Wars during the beta days, looks a lot more epic than now. Should of kept that character screen. The earliest I had was when I got Factions and took a random screen of my assassin, the screen isn't on this computer though.

Oh man I remember that. Came back from farming and everyone was going nuts. Oh well there went 3 hours worth of work for everyone but there was no other way.

Also, wow, I love that old login, that was before I arrived. I vaguely remember the attribute point reset/refunding.

I remember when there were so many of us and it was fun! I remember before loot scaling. Ettin farming etc.





I still enjoy GW but all things change sadly. The days of awesome loot, Marhan's, monk strikes are done. But everything has a time an season. Great memories are worth having

I also used to believe be all you can be LOL



I think once upon a time there were monks with swords. This was just for fun

I went back on my old character before my break and had to double-take. Still on the head piece was a Rune of Major Fire Magic, HP -50. I still have it in storage and even had a current (-35) so now they sit side by side in Xunlai.

There's a fan blog posted June 2, 2006 listing all the other changes in the update. Looking at them at that time it's shocking how much they were fixing. Before that you couldn't see party messages from your whole team in AB and apparently could shadow step beyond radar range. People complain about little stuff now

The older character screens were interesting, wish they would switch it up again.

Anyone remember the old animation they had for the daze effect? Was cleaning up the pc and found this screenshot from the griffon farming days though I wasn't farming when I took this. Sometimes I wish they didn't change that animation...

This is the oldest screenshot I have left. It's From Alliance Battles a few weeks after Factions release. All my screenshots before spring '06 were lost when I had to reinstall window XP

ah I missed being in a district that got turned into rats--that would have been great (see avatar).
yeah wish they would find a way to bring back the old character select screens...liked the factions one a lot (and anything would be better than looking at the same thing we have been seeing for the last what 3 years+ now)

found some from the stick man april fools---
