Photos of when Arenanet was still Arenanet

  • Found some junk saved from my old hard-drive, interesting enough was pictures from the launch of Guild Wars and when I was still a teenager following the upcoming game.

    Well in this era Mike O Brien still had a heart, so it's nice to see how things evolved from there. Though I might share since i'm going to wipe the drive.


    E3 2003 when guild wars was still ugly and was a wannabe from WoW:

    Well that's it. Don't have any more paste or pics. Found memories when they still gave a shit for us. Now there is just disdain :shy:

  • NICE!!!!!
    great to see this stuff (and the crowds...wow).

    Now they can't even put 100 people together in a room. Even with the ESL throwing money at them. Well, even making the game free to play didn't make the turn. Keep basic and keep updating that's what World of Warcraft and Diablo II, Diablo III has shown.


    I recall those music videos of Guild Wars too, from a guy named Zack they were hilarious.
