Default what do MMO players do for a living?

I know GW is an exeption to the long hours and grind fest that comes with most online rpgs. Just curious, what the hell do people that spend all that time on games like EQ and WoW, and have 2-3 maxed out characters do for a living? Where the heck do they get the time for all those hours those games require?

Yeah...school ftl.

"What? A game designed for adolescents has a lot of those types playing?"
zomg.

I really doubt the more serious MMO players go to Gw as much...Think WoW is more for those types of people. (Im talking /pizza people)

But school is so cool! Havn't the subliminal messages seeped into your mind yet?

I don't get home from school till 8 or 9PM.... in a few cases midnight because of the play, hence the reason I can't play games very often anymore.

I was totally gonna start a thread like this then I thought I better try the ol' search button first, and lo and behold . . .

I work for United Parcel Service and I do indeed drive the big brown truck. As such, I don't have much time to play GW much during the week, maybe an hour or two a night if my girlfriend is busy, otherwise it's pretty much weekends only and that's only restricted to early mornings/evenings as I'm too busy enjoying the summer and all the shenanigans it brings.

Funny thing though was that a fellow coworker turned me on to GW in the first place. Understand that Canadian winters are long and very harsh so having a decent game to play to kill time during those months is pretty much a necessary evil. After he bugged me to get GW for a few weeks I finally did and . . . he promptly quit playing! Yet here I am, 9 months later still jonesing out on the damned thing.

Oh yeah, and if there is one other thing you must know it is that I just love rezzing dead threads!

Enjoy!
