How many of ya'll are Guild Wars retires who still need some type of fix? I know that I'm done playing until the night before GW2 is released, but I can't seem to quite give it up completely. I know there are a fair amount of us out there. So stand up and identify yourself.

thats me, im patiently waiting for gw2 but i cant get over this gw yet lol i always seem to come back to it even though when i log on im unbelievably bored after about 15 seconds

Ever since ANet started royally screwing themselves by handing out unfair and unjust bans at their own free nonsensical will, i can't really bring myself back to play anymore. Meh, i might have an interest in GW2 if whoever the schmucks are over at ANet deciding to create this chaos decide to clean their act up.

Requiem:Bloodymare is in open beta, i'll be downloading that soon.
Might check out Age of Conan just for the hell of it...

But all this bullshit by anet was the final blow to Guild Wars. RIP.

There are no retired players that still post on this forum. Those that say they have and still post here are just deluding themselves. You've bought the games and still take interest in what's going on in the game - yet you say you're retired? I say they're just on an extended leave of the game. An actually retired GW player would have moved on and would no longer have an interest in the game - therefore not reading Guild Wars Guru.

I would disagree. Someone who retires in the traditional sense is someone who no longer works full time. It says nothing about completely giving up interest in the company you just worked at for 30 years.

I would consider myself "retired". I log in every now and then, and I might even try and get some fame this weekend, but the main point is that I have moved on from the game. I still care about it because I invested 1300+ hours in it, and I want to see others continue to enjoy it as much as I know I have.

Kattar · May 30, 2008, 02:41 AM // 02:41

Same as Cale.

Everything I think about doing something new, I generally log out instead.

I wouldn't consider myself retired, but I'm close to it.

does retiering from serious pvp count? I still keep needing my GvG fix that i get from guesting

Bull, retired means you have quit or stopped doing whatever it is you've "retired" from.

I retired my position at Burger King means - you no longer work there. I retired my position within my company means - you no longer fill the position which you had filled previously. Retired = quit - if you keep logging in every so often or keep reading the forums and taking part in ANYTHING Guildwars after purchasing the games - then you haven't retired.

If you are retired, you will not read this thread.

I put the game on the self over spring semester but I'm ready to start playing again. I just reloaded gw tonight and am waiting for the time to get back to play. I am only a level 11 so I can't say I retired just took a slight break.

In this thread, a poster learns that Guild Wars and Guild Wars Guru are not the same thing and can be accessed independently.

You are taking a very hard-line approach to the whole "retired" business. To retire does not mean to sever all contact, it is to simply stop doing something full time.

For a long time Guild Wars was my full time game. It is no longer, hence, I have retired from my Guild Wars days. Simply because I make an appearance every now and again and +1 on the forums does not mean that I have "not retired". It means I still care about a game that I loved (and still do) for so long.

Magikarp · May 30, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

/raiseshand.

retired from pvp and pve. whats that leave me to do?

test builds i see floating about, trade for stuff, buy armors, and talk to my alliance/friends.

Esan · May 30, 2008, 03:33 AM // 03:33

I'm retired from grind. I still occasionally log in and try to earn the odd glad point or two, but r6 was the final tier I wanted to reach.

Lynyrd Skynyrd · May 30, 2008, 03:34 AM // 03:34

I don't play GW anymore, but I still like to troll the forums.

Darkobra · May 30, 2008, 03:53 AM // 03:53

I've moved on to greener pastures. I'll return for GW2, as it sounds like a heaven. But you know, they said great things about GW:EN...

Seriously. I got a temp ban because I cussed at someone WHO CUSSED AT ME! WTF is this, ANet?

arbiter · May 30, 2008, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I'd consider myself one of those players. I might sign on one time a week out of boredum, ask around if theres anything to do, and end up signing off 10 minutes later.

I guess i kinda stick around waiting to see if something big changes, or if theres some weekend event that i might be intrested in. But other than that i guess just waiting around for gw2...

eeks · May 30, 2008, 04:37 AM // 04:37

Mm. I make new characters, level them up to max level and go.. 'Well, that was pointless.' and don't play for ages.

turin9 · May 30, 2008, 05:22 AM // 05:22

i retired from guild wars due to getting 2 accounts banned. I bought a 3rd but its highest char is about lvl 16, i just cant play the game anymore, after 5000+ hrs logged in the game, over 2000 on my monk, its too hard to play again after loosing all that work. i learned from my mistakes an ive turned to Hellgate: London, Halo 3, and im going to give the Bloodmare beta a try until GW2 beta starts.

Then im going to basically give my life over to GW2 cuz its going to be the SH*T
