Ever since getting xbox live for my 360, I am finding it very hard to make time for GW anymore, and the thing is I just bought 4 more char slots so I could have 1 of every char + 2 for testing/pvp lol.

Typically I get to play GW a couple hours a day, sometimes less. I only get 4-6 hours of sleep generally. I am surprised to be the first person to post that works graveyard..

Damn full time job! I try and get in as much Guild Wars play-time as I can, usually 4-5 hours in the evenings, weekends, and maybe 10 mins in the morning, it's just so damn addictive!!

I manage maybe an hour or two 3-4 evenings during the week. If I have no plans at the weekend I can play anything from 4-8 hours

My partner works the same hours as me, and he manages about 2hrs weekday evenings, and as much as I'll let him get away with during the weekend!

An MMORPG is quite a time-thief, but luckily I managed to recruite my girlfriend into GW and now we play together 2-3 hours (almost) every weekday and often 5+ hours in the weekends per day, sometimes more

And when my boss isn't around, I am able to GW some at work as well

I play from about 7.30pm - 11.30pm during the week and if I can most of the weekend off and on. Obviously I work on a PC all day, and I spend more time lurking in this and other forums than I ought to so my work suffers a bit.

Seen as I'm off work due to disability I play Guild Wars at any time of the day or night. Infact it isn't strange for me to still be on at 6am before bed, after playing from early the previous evening. Obviously breaks are involved, I'm not that mad, for food, drinks and calls of nature.

However, when at work I'm not able to harness the massive computer horsepower at my disposal for gaming, that's why I have a decent notebook.

It's not a fancy job, but it's great for a 16 year old; the pay's good and I've got more than enough time to play Guild Wars.

I start playing GW the moment I get home from work and usually get to bed after midnight. On weekends, I play for as long as I can if I don't have any social gathering to attend, and fit in other non-gaming things (laundary, shopping, gardening, blah, blah, blah) in between.
