Default You know you've played too much GW when..

These kind of threads are often started for never-enda games like GW, I remember seeing lots of threads like this during Diablo2.

There are probably threads like this one in this very forum - But sometimes its good to start a new one as the old 100+ page one seems overbearing for someone to start reading. (If I'm breaking an unbreakable rule or this is already a sticky somewhere then lock away plz mr Mod)

Anyway please feel free to contribute and plz (try to) avoid the old clichés . . .

. . . when you start posting in threads about how much you play GW.

. . . when you read the responses and you're nodding.

. . . What's GW?

Ok I'll start :

You know you're playing too much Guild Wars when you're at work and you see the company name of a client called Axxes and you're wondering where the 't' went.

You know you've been playing way too much when you start refering to your real life friends and family by their in-game names. It's just not normal (for me) lol.

When you load up the game, sit there staring at the toon select screen, silently scream to yourself and then log out.

It takes you a while to get the punch line of a joke and you blame lag

When you can't sleep because your mind is too busy thinking up builds.

When you do fall asleep you dream about builds.

You fall asleep playing a mission and still get the Bonus and objective completed.

You know you have played too much GW, when you make your Account user wiki page, add the user infobox, and after imputing the data, you see you have more than 3 hours/day.

When you hear a bell sound and think your getting pmed.


When your at the store and don't have enough to buy something, so you start looking around for black dye or ecto to trade with.


When you hear a news story about someone dying and you think to yourself..."I really hope his friends brought a res. skill".


When your tired on the couch and your out of energy from work, you catch yourself wishing that their was a "make supper signet".

All your posts on Guru are either QQing or whining that perhaps, once in the distant past, you maybe saw a thread that resembled this one...

When you are at the computer store looking for a new lap top and the salesman asks how much you want to spend and you answer 1.5k (last week)

You have played too much Guild Wars when your screen says: ''you have been playing for 26 hours, please take a break''

I actually have done this numerous times:

You know you've played too much GuildWars when you refer to your money as gold.

(PS. I've actually said to myself "I wonder how much gold I've got to go over town with later") - before recognising I've said it and laughed!

You run over a squirel and pull over to see if it dropped any loot

Your give a present to your hubby's in game character from your in game character

You take days off work/school for ingame holidays claiming religous beliefs for the reason.

When you kneel at an altar you look for someone to give you a health buff.

You run in fear at the site of cute bunnies running loose.

You constantly wonder how much more experience you need for Legendary Survivor
