Successfully with henchmen only, made my way from Ascalon as a level 3 Elementalist all the way into Maguuma, and back into Sanctum Cay. It definitely took a while, but I feel that as easy as the enemies may be in NM with a decent build, doing it with just Proph henchmen at that level and with the most basic of skills is an accomplishment.

There are a few others, but I doubt they're really worth mentioning.

i know a level 6 pure dervish runner that runs droks, he can run with lvl1 and i have seen b4 but he got to 6 just because he wanted to buy obsidian armor...

I'm basing this off of someone similar I met at imperial sanctum who was level ~10 and said they got ran from nightfall.

Well of course you need a run and still unusual... I challenge anyone to get run through the end of factions and get a set of elite imperial armor by level 8.

I really shouldn't be that proud that my necro died a bit too much...

Mostly is from dlvl moa birds on pre (why didn't I read the ldoa guide earlier...), then from saccing for BiP or idiotic behavior on a lot caravan vanquishes.

Yet my best achievement would be back in early 2006 when i finally got the game reaching THK without any knowledge of wiki. My build wasn't that bad comparing to what i remember from that time, but I still wonder how i got through glint with flare in the bar...

I used Meteor Shower and Meteor on my Necro until at least Ring of Fire on my first playthrough back in '05.

I thought this game was offline for the first 3 months.

I have had a really good time reading through this thread, apart from the bits about farming because I don’t consider farming (or selling stuff) an achievement.

You remember those close 10-9 games where you win or lose by a few seconds and the friendly rivalries that develop during a match.

Lol Yeah, I got my max Kurz and max Lux (while in a Kurz guild) mostly doing FA and JQ. Absolutly love it. Especially when one-tactic players tell you you are doing it wrongly because you HAVE to kill the jug/turt or ignore the jug/turt or hold the mines or ignore the mines etc… so many laughs

Yes they are – do tell

I didnt get factions or NF when they came out so I was stuck in proph mostly alone for a long time, and amused myself by trying to finish carto. But with no texmod or comparing maps I had no idea where the bits I had missed were. I must have scraped each wall in proph many times, and I was at 99% for months, before I found I somehow missed the northern part of eastern frontier! lol

Well I certainly haven't done too much extraordinary, but this guy has:

http://bloogum.net/guildwars/

He's taken the time to get quality screenshots of EVERY area in the game. And that, by far, is extraordinary, just think, he must've spent 1-2 hours vq'ing, and another 1-2 hours getting those perfect screenshots, finding good angles, catchy views, etc... (excluding PvP, but who has time to stare in PvP, either kill or be killed; t-bag, or be t-bagged... lol).

as for me...
I successfully made it through the Prophecies campaign (on my first character) with my Ranger attempting to be a minion master+beast master+archer. I was wielding a non-max damage Hornbow, with req 11 (some random guy in Ascalon City gave it to me) throughout the entirety of the campaign, in fact, here's my old bar, so you can try it out:

Don't criticize me. I was young, and ignorant.
Oh wait. I still am.
And yes. Hitting "1's" on Mursaat was beautiful. Especially "2's". They all beat "0", mind you!

^^ I love the Snapshot Henchmen site. There are so many gorgeous areas in the game, and I love that someone actually compiled screenshots of every single area.

I have had so many fun hours playing this game...it is almost impossible to list feats that stand out. Here are a few...some good some bad lol.

1. FINALLY getting HM masters on Eternal Grove Hero/Hench the week before the update that added consumables. (had to be 15 trys +, seemed like 100)

2. My 1st set of FoW armor on my warrior after farming for about 6 months. (Last 200k came from farming garg skills on wintersday, W/ele Savanah Heat FTW)

3. Earning enough money to buy FoW armor starting from about 5k in one double LB weekend by running ppl thru Gloom.

4. Convincing my wife to play GW with me.

(she is getting close to GWAMM)

5. During a free access weekend to Deep/Urgoz made it to Kanaxi and Urgoz with PUGs. Each took 5 hours and we wiped on both bosses.

6. My 3 kids all younger then my warrior:

7. And lastly, adding my necro to my GWAMM harem today (WOOO).
