With the 6th Gw birthday Celebration coming up in the next few weeks, I'm curious to see the average lenght that players have been playing this game now.

A lot of the older gamers have quit and pass on, and not to brag, but I must be one of the few player that remember things like the sorrows furnace update or the removal of refund points. Even further back when they removed the /roll option from towns because of the spams and scams that were appening.

I have been playing since the release of Guildwars: Prophecy, almost 72month, 6 years. How bout you?

P.S: if any mod could add a poll? this could be interesting.

59months and I must say, the HA community has gotten so much worse as people get higher rank lol.

I remember when doing the droks and fire island missions were hard and rangers could evade. Good days

66 months and counting

I'm still a bit of a newbie, 23 months.

Verene · Apr 16, 2011, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Thirty months according to /age, so two and a half years.

Trbayth · Apr 16, 2011, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Can't get in-game to check actual age atm but I started just after the release of NF. Xbox red-ringed and I was looking for something to play and, well, the rest is history.

I dont think playing a game for two years qualifies you to be a newbie

But yeah, since guild wars is dying, youll find that most people that still post on these forums have been playing from the start, as there arent many new players coming in

i have been playing since a little after the release of factions myself

To be exact:

- 63 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 18 hours and 29 minutes as of this post.

Hobbs · Apr 16, 2011, 09:21 PM // 21:21

68 months. Took about a two break during that though.

AngelWJedi · Apr 16, 2011, 09:50 PM // 21:50

43 months for me xD

fowlero · Apr 16, 2011, 09:52 PM // 21:52

53 months apparently, on and off

Noghi · Apr 16, 2011, 09:58 PM // 21:58

I have been playing for 70 months, but I did take like a six month break

ChrisCo · Apr 16, 2011, 10:03 PM // 22:03

63 Months, took about a week off and then the withdrawal effects kicked in. =p

**Marty Silverblade** · Apr 16, 2011, 10:19 PM // 22:19

Since about June 2005. 70 months. Lots of breaks/non-active parts though.

Kook~NBK~ · Apr 16, 2011, 10:32 PM // 22:32

I've been playing since a few days after release. (Had a hard time finding the game in my neck of the woods.)

Aycee · Apr 16, 2011, 10:38 PM // 22:38

2 Days after release, taken about a year and a half worth of breaks though. Also lost many guru accounts due to me forgetting passwords lol including 2 or 3 lost accounts for the same reason -_-'''

66 Months. I think more interesting figures are the number of hours one has played in that time.... my total GW time adds up to about 6000 hours, which is the equivalent of 750 days at work....when I think of all the money I could have earned in that time....it's close to a house, in cash.

Mindtrust · Apr 16, 2011, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Nov/Dec beta 2004
With a few smaller breaks the last years.

thelessa · Apr 16, 2011, 10:48 PM // 22:48

June 2005, 70 mos.
