After I finished all the campaigns on my main, I turned to filling my HoM. Then just as I had almost filled it, the calculator was released and I was suddenly 24/50, so the immediate goal became 30/50.

Then after 30/50, I just kept pushing the HoM further until I was ready to give up. The dream was 45/50 for the Legend Of The Mists title, but it seemed so far away. But I made a couple of in-game friends and found a RL friend who played as well, so they helped me along the way. (No, I will never join a guild.)

Then after 45/50, I began to wonder if the full 50/50 would actually be possible, and so I began playing for that. But now I've actually realised that I'm closer to GWAMM, so right now I'm chasing that, and then plan to resume the climb to 50/50.

TLDR: chasing titles. vOv

I'm a completist. Need every minipet and every title. Almost there. Seriously.

its a pretty fun game. i like the friend i have on here also, which is a main reason i stayed. plus i like setting up goals for myself and then breaking them ahead of schedule. makes me feel pretty good about myself. Like at the moment I'm working towards an everlasting destroyer tonic and i should have the money for it. It's just good to know working towards a goal actually pays off.

GW for me is like Diablo, you don't ever really quit... and I'll probably hop on it from time to time until the day the servers go down or I croak.

Oh what keeps me interested? Everything..

I would have to say I met some nice people in Guildwars, but people were never the reason I stuck to playing guildwars. I have good social life in real. The essence of the game, title hunting, challenges, quests and PvE were very appealing to me. I liked the Idea to connect into a fictional world that is free of real life worries and bounderies...

I like GvG and sometimes RA. Ive never liked the rest of guild wars, and quit pve in under a week from the time i purchased the game :s I still play and love GvG, and as long as im able to play, i expect i will do.

I also really like the drama/rage that guild wars brings, particularly in pvp. I find it hilarious and its one of the best features of this game imo. Its just unfortunate that a lot of people take it personally and get upset over it.

You know, i actually DID manage to quit Diablo for good. It had something to do with cheaters.

After almost 20 months not too much anymore. I sometimes login to see what todays VQ is but most of the time can't be bothered to do it.
Almost got a full hom, just need the mini's and some pvp title I will never get.
One thing keeps me interested is the special events and the upcoming WoC.

enjoy killing cursing and pestering people in pvp.
enjoy showing off my cool stuff and show people how easy it is to steamroll trough the game. other than that i have everything else so the erst is boring.

Addiction, best MMORPG i've played, a guild consisting of best friends of around 4 years and it still manages to keep it's players occupied

Unique gameplay and hom kept me going.

The storyline is always awesome in the game even if I beaten the crap out of it. It still feels it has its RPG element in it.

Still waiting for WoC!

Well, since I'm already 50/50, I like finding myself new targets and all kind of weird, ridiculous goals and just go for it. They keep me playing day after day, month after month.

Iuris · Jun 01, 2011, 11:41 AM // 11:41

My computer is to blame. It's even more addicted to games than I am and crashes if it goes without a game being run for more than ten minutes...

And I'm not kidding, the computer really does crash in windows, and running a game helps (I guess SOMETHING is kept busy by the game being run...), and GW is a stable game I can have running in background while I surf the net and similar.

I know exactly what you're talking about. That's the main reason I'm going ahead with my gwamm challenge. Should be fun.

papryk · Jun 01, 2011, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Good place to switch off the brain after plenty of hours of corporation tricks. Just relax. Plus obviously some people to talk and play with. Fantastic game.

Gruff · Jun 01, 2011, 02:33 PM // 14:33

The friends I have in game mean a lot to me, and I like the "team play" in pvp.

impulsion · Jun 01, 2011, 03:01 PM // 15:01

I play for a few reasons:
1) Addiction
2) To push the boundaries of what is possible and be the best
3) To practice leadership/other transferable skills in an environment that ultimately doesn't matter if I RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up
4) Creative outlet
