but wow after reading alot of the responses it makes me feel a bit weak. I mean Im a senior in Highschool and I graduate in May, I allready dont have a job so like im not getting any money (looking for one now tho)

Now if I DID have a job, hell no. I wouldnt call out of a job for gw.. I agree with what Snow Bunny said:

mono does indeed suck to have, i spent an entire summer asleep 75% of the days because of having mono, was totaly drained and always tired.

as for skipping work.. or school.. i have to play guildwars, its sad of me to have done that and its caused other problems for me.. i highly sugjust not ever skipping school or work for a game.

There is NO truth to the rumor I called-out sick during the Canthan holiday.

(Did i mention I post from work?)

Can't say I ever called in sick to play GW. I did miss out on a good number of dates/parties/games/concerts even intimate moments with my SO to play GW. It has to be a special occasion though, not just some random GW playing. A guild run in a place we havent been to in a while, or the release of a new campaign are the usual reasons. Doesn't happen frequently, but it does happen. Just like every thing; you got to learn to set your priorities straight.

I can't recall ever calling in sick just to play the game, however I wish I could sacrifice the time to do so!

Alex Morningstar · Feb 21, 2008, 04:52 PM // 16:52

I've called in sick because I didn't want to work/was actually sick/was injured and ended up playing GW, or because I stayed up too late the night before (possibly playing GW, not always), but never called in specifically to play GW.

Money > GW

College, was another matter. I was going to skip those days anyway.

Miss Puddles · Feb 21, 2008, 09:18 PM // 21:18

i skipped a class i was failing anyway to get my mes to grotto.

i hated college

I've called in just because I didn't really feel like going to work and ended up playing GW because there's nothing but crap on TV during the day...

Excuse my ignorance but what is mono?

Thanks Fluff, sounds a bit like glandular fever - had that, nasty :S

Fluffiliscious · Feb 21, 2008, 10:19 PM // 22:19

mononucleosis which is virus that makes you feel very tired and run down

I haven't called in sick to play, although I do play a bit when I'm sick, between naps that is.

One thing I have done is taken a half day annual leave during the end beta party, right before the launch of GW, just because I heard the March beta end party was so good. Didn't regret it too - it's the only time we've ever had wurms spawn all over the outposts, giant presents popping open with garden gnomes that go "Ni" - hilarious stuff

Funny how after the launch of GW, we've never had anything much that quite matched up to those parties.

so it's 12:09 a.m. and i'm stopping in for a sec to afk my derv in toa, grab a few things i need here at home and to say that i'm into a 36 hour shift by my choice. gg me ftw $$$$

VanDamselx · Feb 22, 2008, 05:14 AM // 05:14

I don't think I've ever called in to work to play Guild Wars. I have skipped school, and played Guild Wars but it wasn't the reason I skipped.

I did call off work to read the 6th Harry Potter book though.

kradens · Feb 23, 2008, 08:07 PM // 20:07

havent missed RL stuff for GW, tho i pulled a sickie to kill jumbo cactuar and odin in ff8 once...it was also a mock exam day XD - 5 years on - totally worth it : P

a friend of mine missed 2 whole weeks of college just to play burning crusade when it first came out.

Meh making money is more important then me playing guild wars for a few extra hours. Plus I plan on going to collage next year so I really wouldn't want to get into the habit of calling in sick since collage costs a lot, and I would be pissed if I failed a collage class and lost all that money I spent to get into it.

Queenie · Feb 24, 2008, 01:02 AM // 01:02

Never skipped school to play GW, but when I had was sick or had the flu I would just stay home and play GW. Take my mind off my sickness.

I've probably had mono once...was to weak to do anything..just slept a lot. o_o
