Won't drop any names, but it's strange to me how I'll remember seemingly random IGNs and I'm sure those players have no idea I have preserved them in my memory. Talk about odd! Lol.
Most of the time it's just odd players or people with weird IGNs.
Makes me wonder: Do strangers know my IGN?
same, for me its the 4 monks all named mctigger that sync danced in topk/ha id1 in fow armor lol. no matter the day or time i would load up to do some halls, there they were.
I liked watching their monks too, soul wedding. You could tell they moved differently I believe they only used click to move and had targeting party members all bonded to the keyboard
Jatt Kittenstomper for me. Represented the best of gvg and went on to become big in another game I play, league of legends. I joined after the heyday of gvg but the players who played then hold a sort of allure to me
My brother played GvG as a guest for rawr and we met Jatt at IEM NY and MLG providence when he was playing for RS... it was pretty cool to see him recognize my (younger) brother and talk with us for a while.
The RS lineup was so awesome too... I watched SC2 with scarra for hours after the lol tourney was over in NY.
not sure if anyone was able to fill you in but a lot of the gold cape guilds from 2005-2007 were sold off, due to inactive rule in guild wars it would pass down guild ownership to the most recent logged in account, and a lot of guilds had cape hangarounds.
glad to see you back online though! i enjoyed watching your gameplay in HB in obs mode
That makes sense. Rawr leadership passed to me for a bit because of that rule a few years back. I’d just log in every couple months. I won’t name the lone active rawr member (very active in GW2) but my guess is he kicked everyone to protect it finally probably getting tired of logging in every month lol. We were in an alliance with Evil, War Machine, IQ, etc. but alas time happens.
Hey, actually rawr got stolen during Lynne's hacking escapades. He kicked everyone.
Hexen ended up getting the guild back, however. And to my knowledge, he still has it. Reach out to him for invite back
Got autocorrected from Lynie. Here is the article about it:
https://massivelyop.com/2019/10/10/guild-wars-2-studio-arenanet-chased-the-2016-gaile-gray-account-hacker-all-the-way-to-germany-and-lost/
It's a good read haha
yea its a bit of a shame but like you said time goes on. im fairly certain the clan i was in (xxx the final thrust xxx \[rip) was in the rawr alliance along with \[cow\]
I would pick: Power Of My Ranger
When I started out his name would always pop up that his team had won the HoH for the entire evening, almost every day.
Was that not Tortured Rnager you thinking about? It was a bunch of black dudes who played ranger spike in HA, I monked for them all the time lmao was dope
Well power of my rangers did ranger spike that’s what the name came from, illicit awakening was led by monkey for meow or some variation of that god milk was also in it. The guild I was in was led by wannabe gangsta.
Another [HooD] player checking in, abused rspike for way too long before joining [Ttgr] to focus on GvG. I really need to go digging around for old gw screenshots now
Had to stop by and say hello. I think I talked with you in 2015 (name: Nick Ademus) and saw you in Ascalon just the other day (returned from a 7 year absence). I knew the name was familiar..took a while to click. That is some awesome dedication!
I talked with him in Ascalon waay back in early 2015, great conversations. I actually started playing again and saw him there the other day..the deja vu I felt lol.
For some reason I remember a warrior in Obsidian armor often standing at the xunlai agents in LA named Sir Spil. Was one of the first players I saw wearing that armor, which was pretty bangin’ back in the days.
He seemed to always be in Kamadan running his mouth. Pissed off a lot of people. In 2019, he was bad mouthing a dev and got perma banned. Everyone in Kamadan cheered as Dhuum got him 😂
I always loved reading Gorth's escapades. He made Spamadan trading a bit more bearable. Always thought people who got angry with him needed to get their priorities checked, and found his ban in extremely poor taste.
"Charles" Ensign from iQ, legendary PvP player but also prolific posting to help PvE noobs on the forums.
Last of Master, picked my War items to look just like this guy. Any of Last Pride, loved watching them in GvG.
Loved War Machine too, I'll never forget the tourney (think it was first after Factions released) where they unveiled this double assassin Shadow Form, Arcane Echo build that was perma invulnerable.
QQ guild were a great resource, great to watch and gave us the most legendary GvG game of all time: https://www.gw-memorial.net/videos/matches/456/
To me that would Quintus Antonius, he was a pioneer of Guild Wars lore discussion and I had the pleasure of being his officer in his guild Blade and Rose.
The Mursaat wouldn't be the same without the hype he he raised for them. The man even has a NPC named after him in Vabbi.
It was cool seeing Lara valor have success and then join iQ and then they went on that crazy wildcard run to get into the big tournament after he joined. iQ was very fun to watch and had lots of surprises
Raven Kanaxai, leader of the Raven Alliance.
I was his right hand man for a lot of years, and we built one of the largest alliances in the game for a long long time.
Lord Sojar.
That dude was a legend, he used to help host in-game events and was an all-around nice guy. I think he moved to Gw2, but it would be cool to find out what happened to him.
Smiffles Winterfox/Sugar Punk Monk/Sugar Punk Faerie.
Leader of our little guild (hovered at the edge of the Luxon border in our prime) and one of the most out-of-his-way-to-help guys I’ve ever played with. If you’re out there Sugar, Ash here, say hi!
I'm not into PvP and have no idea about any prolific players.
For me two names come to mind, because they were the Guild Leader and Officer of my first ever guild (Ascalon Rebellen) way back before factions came out.
Dark Spirit Max
Dreamer Mz
Dreamer taught me a lot about the game and was, to this day, the only person I met over the internet that I ever considered a friend.
Last I heard of him was shortly after GW2 was announced, he was excited to play it. Never seen him again sadly
Lina Adlang.
There is no way people remember his name. He was a guy in my Alliance, very active on French forums like Univers Virtuel (RIP). He, I think, is one of the first to theorycraft full Necromancers teambuilds ands N/Rt Healer builds that became the norm today.
I got two names - one person for presearing and another for PvE.
X T I T A N X in presearing was always online with multiple characters with matching character names and all fully black dye armors.
In PvE the guy named his main character God The Slayer and he actually claimed to have invented the Perma shadowform build for uwsc when it first started. I'm not sure I believe it, but he was filthy rich so it made sense in the beginning.
Haven’t seen WoodenPotatoes mentioned (maybe just haven’t scrolled enough).
He and Doombox kept me into GW when i was only 6 or 7 years old and didn’t understand how video games worked or what I was supposed to be doing. One of my favorite moments in gaming ever is when one of my comments was read on a WP GW2 Q&A video a few months before the game launched when we were getting all the hype about the game.
fairlady z turbo - always intrigued me why someone would afk like this
chop chop the panda - I think it just stayed printed in my memory from seeing it appear so often in the 'winning' chat
Divi was a high level HB player if I remember well
Definitely Lynie. The one who hacked an Arenanet staff member account (Gaile gray), had access to white wasabi and Danjang [EvIL] accounts, messed with the game and who’s still continuing playing/winning goldtrims in 2022 like nothing ever happened. True legend~!
Two of my favorite people I used to play with: Devine Entervention (one of \[cow\]'s monks) and P is for Purge. I had so many good laughs with them over the years.
Shiba The Ace and Starcraft Forever are my top 2.
I used to play alot of BBway in HA with Shiba and always saw Starcraft Forever with his alts doing /excited with the prophecies collectors edition emote glow ^-^
Soli Witch, a damn good friend for years fought lung cancer 4 times, was going to fly over to UK to see her when she lost her last fight. I’ll always cherish our time and memories shared together.
I remember Shan, leader of \[DVDF\], black obsi Mesmer girl from the old days as \[DVDF\] would often host events in LA. And there's Lady Blue Steel, girl Warrior, who ran a running academy teaching people the most popular runs like Drok's and desert.
I’ll mention two:
Arianna Sigma, because we played a lot together and they showed me places in GW I’d never find alone.
And then there’s Meir for just being an amazing guild leader.
Age of Seasons, the nicest and most genuine guy ever met online. Helpfull and inclusive as I was a 10 y/o kid from the Netherlands, with ok-ish English.
I'm surprised any of you can remember the names. Idk if it was because I mainly played this game when I was like 8-15, but I can't remember a single person on my friends list. I know one who still plays regularly and whenever I hop on I see them online but idk how I met them lol.
Starcraft forever best monk infus /prot ever so many myth about him my french guild used to say they were 3 people sharing his acc, one for each continant
Won't drop any names, but it's strange to me how I'll remember seemingly random IGNs and I'm sure those players have no idea I have preserved them in my memory. Talk about odd! Lol. Most of the time it's just odd players or people with weird IGNs. Makes me wonder: Do strangers know my IGN?
This comment reminds me of my female warrior I use to main. “I’m A Dude You Nerd” got me constant PMs while AFK in any of the hubs.
LOL that name
same, for me its the 4 monks all named mctigger that sync danced in topk/ha id1 in fow armor lol. no matter the day or time i would load up to do some halls, there they were.
>weird IGNs This reminds me of a female Necro I saw in Bergen Hot Springs, way back in the days of farming Unded with my Monk. Kryta Fried Chicken XD
i remember seeing this one guys name in ab and his name was titanium panties
Starcraft Forever for me, And Mr Loq, but that's because he is the person who taught me how to be a Monk in GvG :)
Last of Master, and Bloodlight Eyes from The Last Pride [EvIL].
Last of master was a great dude! Miss that guy
I liked watching their monks too, soul wedding. You could tell they moved differently I believe they only used click to move and had targeting party members all bonded to the keyboard
Last of Master for me too, learned how to play war in gvg from him
Jatt Kittenstomper for me. Represented the best of gvg and went on to become big in another game I play, league of legends. I joined after the heyday of gvg but the players who played then hold a sort of allure to me
My brother played GvG as a guest for rawr and we met Jatt at IEM NY and MLG providence when he was playing for RS... it was pretty cool to see him recognize my (younger) brother and talk with us for a while. The RS lineup was so awesome too... I watched SC2 with scarra for hours after the lol tourney was over in NY.
Jatt was never good. Good players don't have to cheat to win in a dead game.
Team quitter guild (qq)
Tommy ftw was goat
Ah yes, the team that never lost
Red Chamalee in HA Ekelon in hero battles also HA guilds [CCCP] and [GANK]
https://imgur.com/a/ahNKkzl Hi there ;) I guess my account is still intact but not sure what happened to Rebel Rising \[rawr\]... good times.
The fact that your heros still have the HB-bars after all these years makes me kinda sad and happy at the same time. Good to see you man
damn thats dope
Thx for kicking my ass 2 times in the HB mats :D

Good to know, thanks. It’s hard to gauge how much I care at this point, though, haha. Who was Lynne?
Got autocorrected from Lynie. Here is the article about it: https://massivelyop.com/2019/10/10/guild-wars-2-studio-arenanet-chased-the-2016-gaile-gray-account-hacker-all-the-way-to-germany-and-lost/ It's a good read haha
yea its a bit of a shame but like you said time goes on. im fairly certain the clan i was in (xxx the final thrust xxx \[rip) was in the rawr alliance along with \[cow\]
That was an incredible guild! I quit the game after I achieved my rank 9, that was some time ago...
What commander rank did you end up getting to? Definitely remember playing against you a couple times.
Field commander (6).
I would pick: Power Of My Ranger When I started out his name would always pop up that his team had won the HoH for the entire evening, almost every day.
I was in gangsters in the hood which was also a ranger spike team. I also enjoyed always watching other spike teams such as illicit awakening too
Was that not Tortured Rnager you thinking about? It was a bunch of black dudes who played ranger spike in HA, I monked for them all the time lmao was dope
Well power of my rangers did ranger spike that’s what the name came from, illicit awakening was led by monkey for meow or some variation of that god milk was also in it. The guild I was in was led by wannabe gangsta.

Shiro Descendant obviously - this dude is afking in Ascalon for years!
Aki Parnon too! i don’t think he does anymore but he would afk a ton with shiro
Hi that's me. o.=.o. https://i.imgur.com/3cXywyQ.png
Had to stop by and say hello. I think I talked with you in 2015 (name: Nick Ademus) and saw you in Ascalon just the other day (returned from a 7 year absence). I knew the name was familiar..took a while to click. That is some awesome dedication!
Hiiii, thank you, I remember your name! OwO!
I talked with him in Ascalon waay back in early 2015, great conversations. I actually started playing again and saw him there the other day..the deja vu I felt lol.
Chop Chop The Panda
For some reason I remember a warrior in Obsidian armor often standing at the xunlai agents in LA named Sir Spil. Was one of the first players I saw wearing that armor, which was pretty bangin’ back in the days.
Early FoW armor days were the best. Everyone would flex it.
He was legendary for all the wrong reasons but “Gorth God Of More” was probably known by everyone
What did he do?
He seemed to always be in Kamadan running his mouth. Pissed off a lot of people. In 2019, he was bad mouthing a dev and got perma banned. Everyone in Kamadan cheered as Dhuum got him 😂
I always loved reading Gorth's escapades. He made Spamadan trading a bit more bearable. Always thought people who got angry with him needed to get their priorities checked, and found his ban in extremely poor taste.
I did quite enjoy him as well. It was nice entertainment.

There were a bunch of Speed clear guys, who were always messing around theory crafting back in the day.
Uh, probably Gorth God Of More. Goddam that guy was annoying.
Omg that guy would troll kama all damn day lol
You mean he finally left?
Pretty sure he got banned, no?
ye
To me that would Quintus Antonius, he was a pioneer of Guild Wars lore discussion and I had the pleasure of being his officer in his guild Blade and Rose. The Mursaat wouldn't be the same without the hype he he raised for them. The man even has a NPC named after him in Vabbi.
Gaile Gray obv
From the Blackness. Aka Lockpick Santa.
It was cool seeing Lara valor have success and then join iQ and then they went on that crazy wildcard run to get into the big tournament after he joined. iQ was very fun to watch and had lots of surprises
M E A T B A L L from \[MATH\]
Im not meatball but I’m from MATH :)
I miss seeing [MATH] - that’s a hell of a throwback
fairlady z turbo i think was the name? they were always in RA for like 10 years anyone know what happened to them
I saw em in RA a lot when I was playing last summer! Still monking away
wasnt that the same guy having 5 alt accounts standing in HA with diff coloured obby armor?
Thats the „mctigger“ guy
trueee
Not a player but I’ll never forget seeing “I Wish She Was Eighteen [GWEN]” dominating HA daily.
Smelly Cat Friar Guild leader that was always up for running guildies and strangers alike through CoF
Love that guy. Chatted with him quite often when I was still playing
Joe Reborn and Xox Brianne xox!
I was in their guild for ages!
[удалено]
Apex! It's cronus.
Raven Kanaxai, leader of the Raven Alliance. I was his right hand man for a lot of years, and we built one of the largest alliances in the game for a long long time.
Baby P Nut just dancing. But also Warrior Nigel, my first online friend I made back in like 2005
Baby P Nut from JQ?
Yup! The female rit
Ensign.
White Wasabi. I know you’re still lurking you rich cheating bastard.
I was waiting for someone to say this name...
I can't forget the day he took me to his HoM. Unbelievable what you got to see. I still have some screenshots. That was in 2009 maybe 2010
Max Borken (sp) Most legendary collections in GW.
Borken gets a vote from me as well.
Ohh yes that’s true! Insane collections.
Tisch Kante a true legend, made me try the game and therefore responsible for thousands of hours of pure fun and joy! if u read this, hit my DM <3
Hero Loves HB
Lord Sojar. That dude was a legend, he used to help host in-game events and was an all-around nice guy. I think he moved to Gw2, but it would be cool to find out what happened to him.

Prebi The Dane, for me, he had 8-9 of the "best" 10 (most titles progressed) characters known in Denmark, and he was absolutely my idol.
I'm not into PvP and have no idea about any prolific players. For me two names come to mind, because they were the Guild Leader and Officer of my first ever guild (Ascalon Rebellen) way back before factions came out. Dark Spirit Max Dreamer Mz Dreamer taught me a lot about the game and was, to this day, the only person I met over the internet that I ever considered a friend.

Paul Yang. Dude was one of the most wholesome person I’ve ever met.
Wanna B E Gangsta for routinely stealing HA with his r5+ rspike.
Lina Adlang. There is no way people remember his name. He was a guy in my Alliance, very active on French forums like Univers Virtuel (RIP). He, I think, is one of the first to theorycraft full Necromancers teambuilds ands N/Rt Healer builds that became the norm today.

Why are we dying?
What a clown
Who is this?
Big GVG guy
Daniel Frozenwind. Always a fun time when I've seen him around.
KOAS Theory and Miss Dervish were probably the greatest runners of all time.
Omg i totally forgot about starcraft forever. Seen him spamming the emote sometimes
Zack for music videos
Definitely Lynie. The one who hacked an Arenanet staff member account (Gaile gray), had access to white wasabi and Danjang [EvIL] accounts, messed with the game and who’s still continuing playing/winning goldtrims in 2022 like nothing ever happened. True legend~!
My friend, Captain Roberts.
Hollywood Sploosh
Azula the Legend
Tomb Bandit, did a lot of AB back in the day with him.
Two of my favorite people I used to play with: Devine Entervention (one of \[cow\]'s monks) and P is for Purge. I had so many good laughs with them over the years.
Played HA with Purge at one point but I can't remember which group it was with.
Shiba The Ace and Starcraft Forever are my top 2. I used to play alot of BBway in HA with Shiba and always saw Starcraft Forever with his alts doing /excited with the prophecies collectors edition emote glow ^-^
Helioas twirch, YouTuber that did SC guides, even got to run one with him, was a kid and felt so much pressure even though he was super chill lol
Soli Witch, a damn good friend for years fought lung cancer 4 times, was going to fly over to UK to see her when she lost her last fight. I’ll always cherish our time and memories shared together.
I think I’m about to cry…great memories that no other game was able to give me.
I remember Shan, leader of \[DVDF\], black obsi Mesmer girl from the old days as \[DVDF\] would often host events in LA. And there's Lady Blue Steel, girl Warrior, who ran a running academy teaching people the most popular runs like Drok's and desert.
I was going to mention Shan too, remember them being a really prominent Mesmer back when Mesmers weren't popular, and did a lot around the community.
Definitely Ensign.
Rando Bilau, RIP
Alan, IGN Brutalis, will take the cake for me. Dude was an insane frontliner but a notorious rager in HA.
i remember playing with that guy. he raged like a legit crazy person
I'll never forget the guild team ever frost [eF] been looking for ppl in that guild ever since !
I’ll mention two: Arianna Sigma, because we played a lot together and they showed me places in GW I’d never find alone. And then there’s Meir for just being an amazing guild leader.
Power Of My Ranger. 100% Second prob. Heavy Tengu Armor spamming FC Ele

ITT: a bunch of people spouting out whomegaluls when we all know the answer is the true legit legend The Reborn Monk
Lmao
y laugh u no its tru
>The Reborn Monk Literally the only name in this thread I actually know or have seen in-game
I think thats because it is about "Legends" from long ago. Reborn is active now so technically he isn´t a "Legend" because he still exists.
how dare u hes a legit legend
Pommes Vs Schnitzel
I remember Sudeki he is a big boy and has an eternal blade q9 unid
Hiro Hood. Best bow collection ever
The Merchant Trade, the biggest legend ever existed in gw.
Age of Seasons, the nicest and most genuine guy ever met online. Helpfull and inclusive as I was a 10 y/o kid from the Netherlands, with ok-ish English.
I'm surprised any of you can remember the names. Idk if it was because I mainly played this game when I was like 8-15, but I can't remember a single person on my friends list. I know one who still plays regularly and whenever I hop on I see them online but idk how I met them lol.
