He takes his laptop with him so a lot of times he will be ingame but just checking on the guildies and preparing for stuff that comes later in the evening. We have 3kids and one on the way

So it stays pretty busy around here. I used to play a lot but now he plays more than I do and weekends for me = sleep lol.

I am employed fulltime and normally work around 50 hours a week now that im back to fulltime. (work got slow there for a bit) I enjoy playing GW whenever i can. My boss is even cool enough that while having a little downtime between projects i get to play gw at work. Since my GF is home from college while finishing her nursing degree, the summertime is kind of hectic bouncing between work and spending time with her, then trying to find time to run a pvp guild... kinda crazy.

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!!

Nice to see a fellow QS in here.

Cheers, mate.

Keep 'em feedback rolling in aye?
Updated the original post with more information.

Standard Work Hours: Unfortunately, I don't get a "standard schedule" so to speak(The retail industry is great like that). I do a 9:00-6:00 opening shift or a 12:30-9:30 closing shift. Or anything in between. Usually about 9 hours.
Standard Working Days: Varies every week but always at least 5 days.
Occupation: Loss Prevention Manager (Store Security Manager)

I usually end up playing late unless I am on my day off. I manage to average about 3-4 hours a day on GW. I have a great wife that understands how much I love this game too.

This is only summer schedule and its probably going to change by the time fall semester start. By then i doubt I would even have time to open up GW anymore. As of right now I try to squeeze a little time after work each day before supper for GW and use the rest of the night to study. ahh... the joy of university life

Btw, didn’t know there are so much *older* players around. Or is it that the older players are more active on forums?

I think the main reason why there's so many of us over 30's around is that we were the first generation to really get our grubby paws on mass produced video games. We've been at it since the '70's and we're not going to stop now.

Either that or the lady folk needed a rest and just bundled us off into the 'computer room'! Out of sight out of mind and all that.

I'm certainly not going to stop, even though my wife hates my gaming sessions.

Depending on whether it's my 4 days on or 4 days off, I play anywhere from 1 up to 8 hours of games a day. GW, Oblivion, UT, F2 are just some I play. course if I'm out socialising then i'm not playing, and this does happen a fair bit
