So, what's the longest you've ever played Guild Wars for? Things like going AFK to get a drink, bathroom, etc, are permitted, but if you go AFK for more than 30 minutes or something... then it doesn't count.

My longest streak was probably 9 straight hours, two days in a row, with about 50 total hours that week (not that it matters, I only remembered that because I played GW more than I worked and I was working full-time, 40 hour weeks). I remember the first night I was grinding my monk from level 13 to 20 after discovering how pathetically easy it is to level a Tyrian toon in Elona, and the second day was just really a grind-fest to get everything I needed for 55 farming.

Although, it still pales in comparison to the old days of Diablo 2 during the summer... 12 hours a day, every day, for 2 months.

For the first 2-3 months I averaged 10 hours a day.

16 hours in one day XD... I know I phail at life...

Silly Warrior · Nov 29, 2007, 10:56 PM // 22:56

No more than 6 hours in one go, but I have spend around 15 hours altogether on the game in one day.

I remember GvGing constantly in tourny once for like 8 hours.

Besides that, I refuse to play more than 3 hours.

Probably the longest playtime in a day that I did was 16 or 17 hours.

But normally I play between 30 mins and 2 hours a day (but some exceptions, like new games)

6 at the most, rarely....actually only once.

Usually between 45min and 2hours.

Volitar · Nov 29, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

When Factions first came out I played for ten hours straight.

Turtle222 · Nov 29, 2007, 11:15 PM // 23:15

i cant stare at the screen for that long ^^ and not get bored, 3 hours

shrouded^god · Nov 29, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

16 hours or so used to be pretty common for me, no job...no school...nothing else to do. I ran a pretty large guild so I would always tag along with other or help out who ever needed it. Only AFK time consisted of getting up to grab a drink a snack and a shower once or twice a day. I know...sad...very sad...

CyberMesh0 · Nov 29, 2007, 11:22 PM // 23:22

13 hours, when EotN came out. Beat everything past the Norn arc all at once.

chowmein69 · Nov 29, 2007, 11:41 PM // 23:41

5 hours .

Does AFKing count as "playing?" (i.e. 9 Rings)

Onarik Amrak · Nov 29, 2007, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Including AFK, something like 18 hours.

Played an afternoon, then AFKed the night on Rings, then played some more in the morning, then possibly more AFK. I don't really remember...

Phaern Majes · Nov 29, 2007, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Played for little over 24 hours. Though I took an hour for lunch and an hour for dinner. Did it just to see the please take a break message. Now I play less than an hour a day usually. Sometimes for a couple hours if I get a good HA team.

You can't see me · Nov 30, 2007, 12:04 AM // 00:04

22 hours online has been my max, but only because I left the game on during the night one summer evening, due to going away and thinking I'd be back in a second.

jimme · Nov 30, 2007, 12:06 AM // 00:06

9 hours was my longest, it was yesterday

erfweiss · Nov 30, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

8 hours in a stretch....only because my wife and kids were out of town.

Gattocheese · Nov 30, 2007, 12:10 AM // 00:10

My actual playing time was just a little over 24 hours. This was with no AFK. My guild and alliance held a contest to see who could run the most faction in a 24 hour period. This was before hfff. Crazy times.
