If you're not active (not moving), you get kicked after 10 hours. No matter what, after 24 hours you get kicked.

Does this answer your question?

I posted this on my guild's site as a joke, but it is a real screenshot, no editing (except a crop for file size), I actually did have the game running for one week straight. What can I say, I was curious.

To my knowledge, GW will never "boot" you simply because you've been logged in too long.

Actually you don't get kicked after 24 hours, just last week I got the message 'You have been playing for 1 day'. You are correct about the 10 hour inactive kick though.

It's quite possible to get the 1 week message now, with the Character logout option - doing that does not reset your timer.

But nope you can't get suspended, the messages are purely so that Anet cannot be held accountable for any deaths or injuries/educational failures etc caused by addicted gamers playing insane marathons. After all, they do reccomend you should take a break.

The timer is based on how long the client has been running, not how long you've been logged into a given character.

Anyone have a one month log in screen?

Ok then, let me clarify. It was the same character all week, as this was before the option to change characters without logging out was implemented. I did not play constantly, I was afk for much of it, often sitting in a quiet district somewhere or even an explorable area. I can't recall too many details as it was a few months ago, but there were times I didn't touch my character for over 10 hours, and at least once where I didn't do anything for close to if not more than 24 hours. I frequently had my friends status set to "offline," if that makes a difference. What amazed me the most is that I didn't lose my connection in all that time, as I often do.
