3,753 hours and 33 minutes over the past 71 months.

My ranger, and namesake, is a final beta weekend character. He had a fern lizard as a pet once upon a time :\

Started during the first hour of the early opening of the E3 4 Everyone event. I still have my warrior from that event. Sometimes I still miss the skill gems...

Played obsessively during all the beta events - my guild was pretty highly ranked during some of the beta. We fought WAR once...those guys were good.

Took numerous long breaks during retail; back now to get excited for GW2.

2,580 Hours past 29 months. Thought a few of those months I did not play. I think maybe, 2,580 over the past 23 months or something.

70 months .............

Kharmin · Apr 18, 2011, 07:51 PM // 19:51

Just under 2-1/2 years, but being a very casual player the actual hours are probably considerably less.

Wyndy · Apr 18, 2011, 09:09 PM // 21:09

Hubby started 12/05, Got me hooked 3 weeks later. Haven't stopped playing until just about 2 months ago. The kids kinda raised themselves sometimes.

62 months just a bit before release of Factions

70 months - but with many many long breaks, I tend to play a lot of different MMO's - but right now I'm only playing GW because I'm fed up with the standard MMO concept.

EDIT: My age says 2,725 hours combined on my two accounts with chars I play. I'm guessing that's not a lot.

I'm in the mid 3k range in terms of hours, started playing as soon as my Prophecies CE launch-date order arrived from Amazon (or NewEgg, can't remember). Joined Guru shortly after I discovered that it existed.

I been playin since before the Monk Strike.

I was playin when we had to grind XP for Refund Points.

I was playin when everything past Iron Mines of Moladune was considered "Endgame".

Back when there was no such thing as "Core Skills" -- just "Skills"

Back when 100's of people would crowd around to get a glimpse of Gaile Grey's lvl 7 toon.

Back before we followed twitter feeds, we just waited for The Frog to talk to us in LA.

Back before holiday events were obligatory, and so when LA got dressed up for that first Halloween, it was TREMENDOUSLY EPIC.

Back when you had to use your Signet of Capture at the same time the Boss used the skill you wanted to capture. Have fun capturing Gladiator's Defense, warriors.

I started playing back when Prophecies was just called Guild Wars. It was just before Factions came out, and I had to explain to my wife why I'd just bought the same game twice. Then she got hooked...

I stopped playing after I'd filled my Hall of Monuments with pretties. Then they came up with the GW2 calculator. Grrrr. From thinking I had everything to 30/50.

I had to start playing again. I had to.

Angel Killuminati · Apr 18, 2011, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Started probs around the time Factions came out.

I just ventured into a local game shop and picked it up with no actual reason for wanting it (as far as I can remember). It was a random purchase, just going by what the back sounded like - a cool game to get into. I can't even remember if I wanted a game that particular day, but hey, I'm still playing the game till this very day on and off, so it was a good purchase.

First account started with beta release, didn't know anything and reset all my chars after a month (5 char on this account turn 6 this year from May to Sept).

Second account got just after Proph finished beta (3 char on this account will turn 6 this year) this was a mule account.

Ran out out of char slots got third account Dec same year (5 char will turn 5 this year).

The first and last account are fully loaded all games and goodies (GotY, and other stuff).
The second account is Prop and Factions only.

I guess im blind but where is the member number?

I started with Proph release with two 6 month breaks and now I don't play much.

davehall · Apr 19, 2011, 07:49 AM // 07:49

Account #1 - 8,644 hours over 69 months.
Account #2 - 581 hours over 71 months.
Account #3 - 598 hours over 69 months.
Account #4 - 869 hours over 64 months.

All 4 x accounts 10,692 hours over 71 months.

Started out playing GW with just one account in May '05 then created the other 3 accounts within 6 months after that. I created the other accounts because of the 4-char slot limit at the time and also I needed mules.

Over the years I've kept on adding more mule chars to each account that now I have somewhere between 16 and 26 chars on each account. Glad I did though -- people say I'm mad, but this cazy guy made a huge killing (about 3000 k in-game) selling 300+ minis just after the HOM Calculator came out.
