Sorry if there's been a thread like this already, but...
here's a few old screenshots from the good old days of Guild Wars (well, my take on them at least)

Wow Dumbo, that is one ugly user interface.

Durring the beta weekends:

-Mostly all rangers had pets, and they were usauly stalkers
-You could sell a minor curses rune for 500 easily
-In the swamp part of Gates of Kryta mission about 40 grasping ghouls would rush the hill and there was about 12 skeletal monks over on the side of the hill, the mission was nearly impossible (unless you had eles)
-There was always a dance party going on around the fountain in LA (and for a month after release)
- "Kakomons lotto-min bid 500 max 2000-roll 78-99 win dbl-roll 100 win triple!!" (and that was also for a month after release)

I knew my skill layout was bad at that time, but that it was THAT bad... woah. This one damn ugly skillsetup. And one damn useless too. But i had fun.. and that is what counts.

Besides... those were the henchmen. Funny, hm? Now those are merely NPCs. A pity. Atleast the Mage henchman and the fighter henchman looked better in my opinion.



I still wonder if those districts actually had some population..

Those whom said that the interface dumbo posted a picture of is ugly or something similiar. Can only say one thing: you wouldnt think like that if you actually played when that interface was used, you would want it back.

And yes, this is quite a bash on those whom didnt play the beta. Yeah, I know that they aren't that old, but I've only been playing this game for three or so months. I meant for the purpose of this thread to be post the pictures from back when you were new, or the events you remember best from when you were new. For me, I suppose that would be the 105/55 monk build and all that stuff for me, but it's fun to see the pics from beta too.
