Well - not about not owning a TV, but rather GW being your source of entertainment ....

Some threads are a strange phenomenon to me, I can't always understand why they originate as the answer to them would be obvious.

To my mind anyone that spends a great amount of time doing somthing and then thinks they wasted time doign it, is unusual.

Personally i don;t regret anything i take time doing, as I would not be doing it if i didn't enjoy it.

The only people I would imagine regretting playing GW would be those that bought the game played it for a few days or so and decided they hated the game. They may end up regretting buying it and spendign time playing it.

Those of us racking up over a thousand hours on it shoudl be enjoying it. if not then all i can say is, What kind of strange person are you to torture yourself doing something for so long you dont enjoy?

I have mixed feelings about it. I met some great people and had a lot of fun. In retrospect though I'd rather have spent the time doing something else. Had great times though.

Whether it's playing the game or talking about it, it's done comfortably within my spare time. No stress or regrets.

Some people I imagine would regret it. I mean face it. The GW of April 05' is NOT the same GW we have today. Its almost a different game totally.

I don't regret my 3k hours either. I despise TV. I'd rather do something productive with my brain. GW or games in general, keep my brain busy and keeps me out of trouble. So, if I wasn't play GW, I'd be playing something else.. but hmmm 31mo of GW = $200 vs. WoW (or most other mmos) for 31mo = $515.00 I'll take GW thx. PS2 games I was buying once or twice a month. GW FTW!!!

Why are we talking about things in the past tense?

o.o

Do I regret spending all my time in GW? NO

To me the community as a whole wasn't too bad, after you eked out the idiots, the game play kept me indulged for 7000+ hours so I would say that I did enjoy my time here and also the friends I met along the way.
I deffinately got my money's worth out of it and then some so hence why I aren't disappointed at being one of the 117 (but thats an entirely different section on this forum).
Friends I met along the way..
Lil Kern
Xxx Crunk Xxx
Loves Fire
Star Prism
Is Truth Beauty
Dark Purity
Killer O K E Y
Deano Wisewoman
Just to name a few, sorry I don't have a friends list anymore so thats a few off the top of my head and I do apologize if I missed anyone.
But in all honesty I think I'm going to miss my friends more than the game itself and I wish all my friends all the best for future GW endeavors.

not worth it =) think of what I could do with that.

I don't understand this sort of thinking. There are few/no jobs that you can work at during the late night or 1-2 hours in a day which is what I assume is when most people are playing GW. Maybe if those 3000 hours came between 9-5 Monday through Friday you'd make $42000 but that's likely not the case. If someone does play GW during those hours then maybe they'd regret it.

Largely my 2700 have been worth it. Sure there are a few times I could have been doing something more productive but a lot of that time would have been spent on some other form of entertainment anyway and GW is a lot cheaper.

Jetdoc · Jan 15, 2008, 03:02 PM // 15:02

I've had and am still having a blast playing the game. This really has been the only computer game that has kept my fancy for over a few months...let alone a few years.

Vl Vl D · Jan 15, 2008, 03:17 PM // 15:17

6k hrs is nothing to be proud of, but least it aint 10k like my dutch mate.

Chrono Re delle Ere · Jan 15, 2008, 05:25 PM // 17:25

That dutch mate fo yours needs a recovery, geez....it's 416 days playing GW....

Dronte · Jan 15, 2008, 05:32 PM // 17:32

No.
I reached 2k hours a few weeks ago, and uninstalled GW 3 days ago. It wasnt worth it, really.

I had fun playing it though, but after all I feel like I wasted 2000 hours of my life...

quickmonty · Jan 15, 2008, 05:36 PM // 17:36

I haven't typed /age for a while, but I started playing shortly after it was released. It sure beats TV channel surfing. They should have a /age feature for TVs

What? I'm too old to play computer games?

Fidelity · Jan 15, 2008, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Enjoyed 2/3 of the time i spent on it i think. I agree that it has changed a lot since the early days, and overtime i've grown tired of it. Retiring my account this week, and going to move onto another game with a fee. (not WoW)

Malice Black · Jan 15, 2008, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Monty, you're too old for a bus pass, let alone GW. Back to your armchair you coffin dodger!

Puritans Aid · Jan 15, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

I no longer have a gw account, so Since I am so adicted/obsessed, I have to sit on this forum for the 12 hrs a day I used to spend on guild wars. I HOPE YOUR ALL HAPPY!

BTW, it was definately worth it while I had it. I played it when I could, and I loved the gameplay.

Esspecially early on in the game, before everyone was 2 man and soloing everything, when you had to find a real group instead of just loading 6 heroes. I think something was lost, and something gained with heroes, but I certainly loved this game,

And I think the time was worth it.

According to the ESA, 1 in 4 computer gamers is 50+ years old, so ... no.

i'm 29 and peopl ecall me old. Phoo. I guess the gaming ages are mostly like 10-21 and 50+ because the middle age group has familys, jobs, etc taking up every spar emoment, and wives like mine that scream at them if they spend more than 2 hrs a day on the pc.

Being banned from GW wasn't enough, I guess. Now you want to be banned here too
