I've stopped playing mostly and moved on to wow. Only logging in to chat with old friends who are still playing. I also care about the game which is why I occasionally read Guru and post.

i alredy quit GW once in the past around december, and came back in september. that was a nice break, but i would still log in once in a while to chat or do a farm or two with friends, but i wouldnt stay on over 1 hour.

then i kind of came back, since i gave my boyfriend my mule account and was playing with him; mostly guiding, explaining helping etc. then i got into it again, but not nearly like i was into it 2-3 years ago.

now i am probably considered a retired player, i hardly play anymore since: work + house work + real life = not much time.

to be fair i was getting really bored with GW again, and would log in just to play with my guy once in a while, or just to kill time. i dont really miss playing GW, but i still like it once in a while. this is how i got r10 norn, just cuz it was osmething to do and i had an hour per day to kill. ever since i got r10 norn i used ursan once, thats it lol. rest of time i was doing RA, GWEN NM quests on my still new necro and chating

i will defenetly not going to ever play it like i used to, i mean really play. Love it, get pissed off at it, fail and try again, set goals for myself etc. but i still like to come back into this pretty game once in a while to make my ele shake her retired butt in the GH

i'm pretty much retired too, only log on when i need/want to talk to mates i played with for months and GW is the only way to do it

otherwise really nothing else, playing AoC now

And yes, i'll 100% come back for GW2, really can't w8 for it to come

But GW as it is atm is pretty much finnished for me, so gl all

I retired from PVE because there is nothing worth doing, but, I still play PVP because it's still fun to kill assassins and rangers there.

Retired = quit - if you keep logging in every so often or keep reading the forums and taking part in ANYTHING Guildwars after purchasing the games - then you haven't retired.

If you are retired, you will not read this thread.

ever thought that ppl can loose interest in playing a game but not loosing interest in chatting with the ppl u played with for months/years?
call me sentimental

i retired from age of conan aswell because lvl40+ is just unplayable, tho i'm interested in knowing when all the fixed are coming...

GW2? Unsure, will need to take a good look at the forum feedback on it first, i have doubts regarding it;s direction atm.

An actually retired GW player would have moved on and would no longer have an interest in the game - therefore not reading Guild Wars Guru.

My father is retired (earlier retirement so he gets more money ;d). But he sometimes go to his old work to say hi to friends and ex-co-workers. I think he isn't deluding himself.

I take interest in the game to see if it's worth to come back. Right now, it's not. But nobody says I can't come back.

English Warrior · May 30, 2008, 09:21 AM // 09:21

Doctor of Rocks · May 30, 2008, 09:44 AM // 09:44

"Retired" from GW until GW2 is released. Until then I log in every so often to chill and do some things with my guild.

jrk247 · May 30, 2008, 09:51 AM // 09:51

Retired, I log on every so often (every few weeks) to see how old friends are doing, and to see if my account is still there (afterall I did dish out ~$200 for Anet's games... err, access to their servers, my bad.). I've moved on to xbox live when I get time to play, not as much free time when you have a job though.

By your logic Trvth Jvstice, eating at Burger King whilst retired from it means you aren't retired.

Crom The Pale · May 30, 2008, 11:49 AM // 11:49

GW = Facebook with 3D Avatars

While I do still do the odd mission its mostly just with a guildie or two to build up our titles for HoM and GW2.

After 3years we've done it all and you can only repeat so much so often without really despizing it.

No, it means you're going die of heart failure, like everyone else who eats are Burger King.

Me, I retired from PvE, just no challenge to it anymore, and filled with lame people who think their good. PvP, still worth playing, I do enjoy killing other players over monsters.

Didn't that game launch, um, a week ago?

Isn't AoC "the king" right now?

Ctb · May 30, 2008, 02:29 PM // 14:29

I quit playing again about a month back, but if I ever fell that I "need a fix" for a video game I'm going to kill myself...

cerb · May 30, 2008, 02:54 PM // 14:54

I am retired. It's not too hard to lose interest in the game once you feel like you have done pretty much all you wanted to do. Of course sometimes you feel like you'd give it one more try, but that's when you are bored. Reading a book or watching a good movie fixes that.

I still browse Guru from time to time.
