Curse

I have been playing for over 2 years and still enjoy the game. I asked myself, why? #1. The friends I have made playing the game, most of whom are in my guild. #2. The many options GW gives for replay ability (different professions to learn, AB, farming, etc.) #3. The ability to immerse myself in a world separate from the day to day grind of real life and get away from it all.

When new stuff comes along.

Friends I want to talk to, although usually I just log on and stand around and don't actually play.

Torqual · Sep 24, 2007, 01:01 PM // 13:01

I just like my characters.

Title Grind ATM. I dont care much about other players.

Big_Iron · Sep 24, 2007, 01:10 PM // 13:10

Right now, nothing. I recently hit a wall with GW and have lost my desire to play. I still log on every day, sit there and stare at the screen for a minute or two and log off.

This is not a rant and I’m not dissing Anet or GW. I’ve been playing GW almost exclusively for over two years. I think I’m just burned out and need a break.

What keeps me playing?

The fact that i havent done everything i want to do!

Malice Black · Sep 24, 2007, 01:17 PM // 13:17

No idea, always come back though..weird

IslandHermet · Sep 24, 2007, 01:18 PM // 13:18

Friends is and Titles but i have seem to hit a wall as well with me playing for 16 months and still beleaving i will find some worth more that 5k. the Drops are turning me off of Guild Wars and i fear that if they dont pick up soon im just done with PvE for A little while.

It's the only game where me and my partner can play together, well apart from those games on Wii. My pc and her are next to each other at home, so no need for TS as well.

Oh, plus it's a very fun game.

Government Flu · Sep 24, 2007, 01:29 PM // 13:29

I think it's because of my current PC performance. The game has plenty of replay value, but many other online games do to begin with. In the end, it has to do which online game of mine performs best, and how big or active the community is.

Originally, I played StarCraft a lot. Then came WarCraft III. Then Counter Strike Source. Now Guild Wars. I'm sure I'll end up playing another great game if I ever manage to afford a better PC. (Probably Guild Wars 2?)

CHunterX · Sep 24, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Only decent MMO with Heroes and Henchmen

Ghryphon · Sep 24, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

Prep for GW2...basically title grinding. Gf and I still have fun, dont really meet new people since we do everything by ourselves.

HM vanqin is pretty fun, plus mixed with cartography, gives us some stuff to do.

EternalTempest · Sep 24, 2007, 01:50 PM // 13:50

Guildmates & Friends + HoM unlocks (for my main character only).

Aera Lure · Sep 24, 2007, 01:50 PM // 13:50

Mostly right now I log on here and there, look at characters, stand around and say hi to a few people. Sometimes I contemplate joining a random PUG for a random mission for more social play. Sometimes I actually do.

Anything to break up the little number 4's floating above everyone's heads.

I was playing for titles for a while there, but not motivated to do so anymore. Last one was Legendary Guardian with a friend/guildie and it was a ton of fun.

Karia Mirniman · Sep 24, 2007, 01:51 PM // 13:51

For me it's, immersion in the world being my character, friends, fun at radio station parties.

Some things I used to enjoy seem to have gone. Community, now it's lots of silent zombie players with the number 4 over their heads; and getting drops.

I still have lots of things to do and enjoy meeting new people.

Bathory_Swain · Sep 24, 2007, 01:55 PM // 13:55

This is the same question i ask myself. With bigger, better mmo rpgs out there like star wars battlefront, wow, everquest, etc, what makes guild wars so unique? I personally think it's the fact that guild wars isn't some corporate mockery that makes you pay the $14 a month, and I really respect the fact that they NEVER DELETE CHARACTERS FROM THEIR SERVERS, when the other cheap games you must pay said money for will delete characters (and whole acounts) in a heartbeat for inactivity. You can literally submerse yourself into guild wars, take a break for real life, and then come back a year later, no prob. Hell, you even get birthday presents on guild wars.

Guild wars rules. Nothing else needs be said here.

Addiction (:B), Grinding money, equipping my heroes, playing other classes (have only done my ranger in 2 years actually).

korcan · Sep 24, 2007, 01:59 PM // 13:59

the thousand or so hours ive "invested" in the game. i just cant seem to get away from gw for any length of time.

nowadays, ill just log on and use the game as an irc client.

Code=007 · Sep 24, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04

uax, but not through faction, but lately just stare at the pc or talk nonsense

creelie · Sep 24, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04

Really, at this point it's my guild. I love those guys.
