Let's assume for a bit that time travel was more than theory. If you were given an opportunity to travel backward through time only once, where/when would you go? and why? The land of Gielinor being an option too, please assume that a return trip to the present is guaranteed.

Would you take the opportunity to right a historical wrong? Would you attempt to meet a famous personage? Would you simply go to see what life was really like at some point in the past?

Of course I have had the very common thought of stopping a famous dictator before he got started; Creating an oil monopoly; Investing in Microsoft before the cash began to flow like water; Collecting as much third-age armour as possible; but if I'm being honest, I'm not entirely sure what I would do if I had but a single opportunity.

Naturally, if you take into account the potential effects on the future due to your actions, your choices may not seem as insignificant as they originally had when they had occurred to you, but I think that plenty of people might not concern themselves too much with those effects when they are in the moment.

So, what would you do?

28 July, 1914. German Empire.

Let's face it, if the Germans had won WW I, the 3rd Reich wouldn't exist and WW II would've never happened.

Ah, I'd do something silly and, maybe in the context of this thread, boring, and just go back in time a little to win a big lottery for some money.

I would love to travel back to the triassic(248 to 213 million years ago) or jurassic(213 to 144 million years ago) time when dinosaurs were at their highest population.

I would not want to mess with nature but the whole idea of seeing how things were in that time amazes me and I would just like to see what it was like.

I love the concept of seeing dinosaurs during existence in their habitats and natural environment. Even though I would need a dinosaur book to figure out all them complex names!
