That Proph login is legit better than what we ended up with

Hm, Imho the Factions one is the best. I just love the far views over the water.

1. Factions.

2. Eye of the North

3. Nightfall

4. Prophecies

With the prophecies one it is nice that your selected char comes walking towards you. But other than that the graphics are a bit dated.

Guess who touched...

Nice, both occurrences where your character can appear IRL or your IRL person can be in game are wonderful.

Back in the days I sold my Miniature Kuunavang for 70K so I could buy my first set of Elite Prophecies Armor.

But I bought one back a few months later for 65K so nothing was lost. I still have it. And it is dedicated to my HoM.

Prophecies:

Full loop:

Nightfall:

16 years. I started in 2006, just before the release of Guild Wars Nightfall. It has been an amazing journey.

Hm, I love GW2, but it took me very long. I started playing GW2 in the beta weekends and created my char in the PreRelease headstart weekend but

only a few weeks after the game's official release I more of less got disappointed by the new weapon-based skill system and could not find a build that suited a convenient playing style for me. This ultimately resulted in me going back to GW1 until around GW2's Season 1 finale. (I missed all of Season 1 because of this)

I wanted to play Elementalist with a simple game play: Click target and spam spells. But GW2 did not give me this option. Skills are tied to weapons and almost every weapon gave me ground target skills or -even worse- skills that move your character around. But after some time ArenaNet made an option to lock ground targeting to the selected enemy and I found a nice scepter/dagger build that did not move my char around so I finally got into GW2.

Nowadays GW2 is my main game, but I still play GW1 and I cherish my past journey with this game. This franchise really meant a lot to me the past 16 years.

2006; Reached the Ring of Fire islands

2007; Got my Elite Kurzick armor

2007; Proud after completed the Titan Quests after many attempts when it was still very hard (Max 3 heroes, no consets)

2007; Just after getting my Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer

2007; April fools day. If I were a female, I would have looked like this.

2007; Just loved the lighting here.

2007; First FoW completion for HoM

2010

2011; Got my "Savior of the Kurzicks" title, almost entirely from playing Fort Aspenwood

2017; Reached my GWAMM. The end of a 10 year journey.

2020; What do you do when you got everything? You find your secret twin!

2022; Do I need to remind anyone how beautiful this game is?

2022; My wallpaper, also got an animated one of this. (DreamScene video wallpaper)

This is as aswesome as insane. I have to remind myself that it took me 10 years (2007 to 2017) to get my GWAMM and my hero died 18,460 times.

GWAMM is the biggest thing I achieved in any game so far. At least in 2017. It took me so many days and struggles that I'm still extremely proud of it. (I'm not a highly skilled player, so I have to rely on my iron dedication to achieve things)

By now, perhaps I achieved more in GW2. But I still proudly wear my GWAMM title there because GW2 has nothing like it.

Are there ever sales on the skill unlock packs?

I got a second account and like to get the skill packs for my heroes, but a full set costs €40/€50 depending on if I want the few GW:EN skills with it. A bit too expensive for my taste.

Do these ever have a sale price?

My skill may not be the best, but with iron dedication year after year, one can achieve great things. Here are some videos of my progress towards my Hall of Monuments and the maxed titles rank from 2007 to 2017.

Those Nightfall maps with Roaring Ethers and Ruby Djinns. Especially the bosses.

Thanks for the site. I just changed the theme to the Wintersay one. Very nice, fond memories of my first weeks in Eye of the North.

Fine, it has been solved in the process. Ty for answering.

Congrats with your grand prize, Problematique!

NOT made by me. But I loved it and always kept it on my harddisk. Originally posted on GW Guru long before the release of the Eye of the North expansion.

Yes.

As Guild Wars Legacy player who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2, I started playing during the first beta weekends. However, only a few weeks after the game's official release I more of less got disappointed by the new weapon-based skill system and could not find a build that suited a convenient playing style for me. This ultimately resulted in taking a long break with the game until around the Season 1 finale. But after this break I gave the game a second try and found a nice and convenient Scepter/Dagger build which focused on Earth Magic and condition damage. (Bleeding) Having finally found a nice build I quickly found myself back into the game, finishing the main story line. Here I regained an old hobby of me, namely Title/Achievement Hunting like I did in GW1. I also find great enjoyment in just exploring the game, including trying to break out of the normal accessible parts of the map and void jumping.

The new achievement system has proven to be a good motivator for me to try out new content and game modes, including WvW and some PvP. I still consider myself to only be a casual player but I enjoy the game and hope to continue to have a wonderful journey through the beautiful world of Tyria.

Hi there. I'm an old user of the Guild Wars Guru website, which sadly seems to be gone now. With a bit of Googling I found this new GW forum to which I registered today. Thanks admin for activating my account!

Yesterday, during the last day of the boardwalk games, I maxed my last title towards "God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals". With this, an epic 10 year journey has come to its end.

The first title I maxed was Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer and it truly felt like an achievement. Over the years I slowly worked towards new milestones, but for a long time I considered GWAMM to be unreachable. However, the game developed and I grew with it. Last summer I finally made the last big leap with 6 hard-mode titles, the Vanquishers and two of the three Guardians leaving me at 29/30. Until today.
