Hi everyone,

I’d like you guys to upload the earliest screenshot you have of your main, and the most recent one. It’s to show how much you’ve changed since then :~)

I’ll start:

Was busy playing and didn’t really thought about screenshots until I was in the 40s. A lot of things have changed, but there’re 3 things that have always stayed with me, my fern hound, my brown bear, and my superior studded pants.

First picture is the first screenshot I ever took in guild wars 2 on beta weekend 1, Made a human Mesmer (I was originally going to make a Sylvari but fell in love with Asura, They weren’t around in early beta’s).

Second is the first one I could find of my main, Asura mesmer and the third a more current one

P.s. there’s a limit of 999 screenshots, Had to move old screenshots into another folder and now have nearly 2000

It has been a long journey, with the first of these shots being in BWE 2, the epic bunny at the end of BWE1, sleeping in a priory tent, our very first AC run in BWE3 lol, halloween, and the last one was taken just now. Thanks for so many good memories! Looking forward to many more yet to come as well. I have sooo many more screenies from my dozen or so alts, too many to feasibly post but I’ll get them up one day.
