Curse

I had really been looking forward to playing on the 27th then picking up the CD on the 28th and playing my brains out till the novelty wore off. Now it looks like my Dad has to have knee surgery on the 28th. To top it off I will probably have to move in with him till he is off crutches and able to get around on his own. (SOB!!)

In a hundred years, will it matter that you missed out on some quality GW time?

Ha ha, reminds me of that quote the waitress said to Sarah Connor in The Terminator, watched that movie a few days ago.

Making sure that your dad is doing well after his surgery should be your top priority, especially since he had a part in creating you. You'll have plenty of time to play once he's all good, it's not like you'll have to spend time catching up to people who are already at level 50 or something (thank the Level 20 cap for that one).

I sympathize with you. My dad is also going in for some severe surgery, but I will be there for him. I love playing the game, but if I miss out on starting with everyone, so be it. The game will still be there.

I can sympathize with you because I had some surgery done on my knee after they booted me out of basic training (Army), although not as serious as your father I'm sure. Make sure he does well. Good luck, you'll get around to Guild Wars eventually.

I feel sorry for you but depends on how your father is you'll get it "repayed" and don't forget, the game's not about leveling so you won't end up beeing a "weak noob" and everybody else's LvL 60

Well, I'll hope your dad has (some kind of) a PC so you can log in any time

But after that, just take care of him first. There'll be plenty of ppl staying "behind" in Old Asc, so you can hook up with anyone of them. Secondly, waiting for the game is hafl the fun

Btw, I've planned a holiday on the first two weeks of May, so that means a quick intro to GW and then ... nothing. Just sun and relaxation. After that I'll be playing again

Provided you live for 100 years. Time is precious.

I do think your father's health is more important then playing a game... After that you can 24/7 gw as long as you like...

portiadude · Apr 09, 2005, 03:27 PM // 15:27

I tell you when you look back you will think "I´d maybe miss out some GW but I feel glad i did" best of luck with your dad

Manderlock · Apr 09, 2005, 03:39 PM // 15:39

yes family is more important than any game could ever be. hold every moment you get with your dad dearly, he wont always be there...........

Kaiwyn · Apr 09, 2005, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Yes, of course he comes first.

It just means I will have to move in there and commute home twice a day (several miles) to tend my cats. I am disabled, so traveling is a problem for me and causes a lot of pain...I generally confine my trips to twice a week. No...can't take the cats with me. No...no pc at his place. I will be stuck watching nothing but sports and news at top volume and will sure miss my favorite programs, but I do understand how special this time I have with him is. He is 87.

I just think the timing is a pain....but hey...I'll get to play eventually.

im sorry to hear about your dad, hope he is ok. how are you disabled? cant you get a friend to tend to your cats for you? and maybe have a friend transport your comp to his house for you? that's wat i did when i had to take care of my grandma for a few weeks (i transported it to colorado actually, from florida) cost me alot but in the long run it was worth it.

He'll be dead in a hundred years.

That sounds rather cold.

Anyway, I was going to say sometheing before I read that: Yeah, my grandfather's 90-something years old and it's sad to see him deteriorating. We just recently put him in a home because it's become too much work for my grandma to do. My dad tries to go there as often as it can, so I can see where you're coming from. I wish the best for you and your father.

William of Orange · Apr 11, 2005, 04:43 AM // 04:43

Pretty much everybody here should be dead within a hundred years. Unless, of course, we can discover the planet Arrakis and live off the melange, which, if I remember correctly, increases your life span. But the chances of that are highly unlikely...

I recently had a great-grandmother who passed away, about 8 months after our great-grandfather (her husband) had also passed away. I knew that my great-grandfather hadn't been doing so well, but the death of my great-grandmother was somewhat surprising, since we hadn't been able to see her in a while and nobody had said anything about deteriorating health and whatnot. That's life though.

Manderlock · Apr 11, 2005, 04:52 AM // 04:52

heh dont be so callouse ,i lost both of my grandmothers (i was in 5th grade at the time) IN THE SAME MONTH it hurt me deeply and i wish that i had spent more time with them when they where alive. to just dismiss death like that is stupid.

William of Orange · Apr 11, 2005, 01:50 PM // 13:50

I'm not just "dismissing death"; I was only surprised that nobody had ever said anything to me or my siblings about the health of my great-grandmother. You'd think that we'd like to know about what's going on with my family, and to simply not be told anything until she died kind of threw me off. That was what the "that's life though" comment came from; not saying, "Oh well, she's gone," but more so that life throws curveballs at you, and you have to adjust with it.
