It's my only online-RPG game. I refuse to pay a subscription. Now that I don't play CS anymore, it's my only online game. As I only play for 1-2 hours a day, I don't get bored, but when I don'te feel like it, I've a few offline games to keep me happy, many currently unopened.

I'm back to Guild Wars as a break because at the moment I have no other games to play. I've recently played: KotOR, KotOR 2, Tantra/Kathana III (free MMO), Rappelz (free MMO), Subspace: Continuum, and I'm in the 2Moons closed beta (free MMO).

I've been back to Guild Wars for a full week, and I'm already incredibly bored and ready to uninstall. Again.

I used to hop online games all the time. Diablo 2, SC, WC3, EQ, DAOC, RO, WoW, RF, and now GW. Well, I've actually been at the game since beta, and I'm quite surprised I haven't quit yet. I'm really addicted to the game, and consider myself 'pro' at PvE. I'd probably be average at PvP, but I can't be sure as I don't do that a lot. Maybe a few times a month or something.

I play GW at least a few hours a day. I've marathoned 12 hours once when I was really bored and had nothing else to do. Finished Factions with 2 characters and halfway through it with 4 others that day.

So yes, I'd consider myself a hardcore GW player. I play all aspects of the game, from PvP, to farming. I play a lot, and don't play around in othersuch things (online games). I immerse myself in GW content, and spend a lot of time thinking about it. That's my personal definition of hardcore, and I happen to fit.

I consider myself to be a hardcore GW player with an average of 8 hrs play every day for the last 8 months and will continue to be as long as the game holds my interest, probably for the next year or so. The only other game that will grab my attention will be the next Grand Theft Auto but other than that I can`t be bothered, even stopped buying the gaming magazines. In fact after this game I plan on giving up gaming and moving back to programing.

I have been online gaming for 10 years and i have never gotten addicted to anything like GW. I'm retired at the ripe old age of 39, so i have lotsa time to feed my addiction(10-14 hrs daily)
I tried WoW but i just could not see the point when there was already a superior product such as guild wars out. I love the game and will play it till the pry my key board from my cold dead hands!!!!!

I've been playing GW for about 15 months now exclusively. I have the CE for each and love them all. I was actually out of gaming before and picked up GW out of sheer curiosity (free online play what's to lose?) I would never bother with WOW anyway because i dont agree with pay to buy AND pay to play....no thanks. As long as ANet keeps up the good work Im here to stay.

Been playing GW exclusively myself. If UT3 is good enough to bring back a solid competitive ladder community I will definitely be switching to that.

Only play GW - no monthly fee.

It takes a lot of time to manage a guild, alliance, website, and forums.

If I need a break, I leave my computer.

Though, I will admit, Lord of the Rings Online looks interesting with the Lifetime Membership deal - if a bit expensive.

Got bored with Diablo 2, lost interest in Dungeon Seige when I got GW. I have played more than 2500 hours of GW (Prophesies) in 14 months. I still find it interesting and challenging as I try each character class.

I only play this one. A veteran of Diablo II and Sacred. Would I call myself hardcore? Probably not. Only based on the fact that I have to juggle my gametime in with a wife and 2 kids (both under 5). So it's really hard to classify me in that. 1500 hours in 17 months isn't hardcore in my book.

I used to hop a lot of free MMOs and would always leave disappointed. I started working at a computer shop to where every last one of the workers there played GW and suggested that I should try it. I fell in love with the artwork before I even sat down to play it. One of my co-workers let me try out his extra account and I've been playing since.

It has yet to really disappoint me. So GW is my primary game right now. I play PvP and PvE almost equally, though it all depends on my mood. I just hit the first gladiator title the other day and I'm wanting to take my monk over to factions to get some nice armor. I also have all 3 campaigns. I haven't tried places like HA/HoH, but I'm getting there... :P

GW was my primary game but when all goals were achieved soon after NF came, I moved to WoW till next chapter comes. Guild Wars is an excellent way to relax & escape from MMO's that have more micromanagement.

I'm still trading in GW though.

The only games I play are Guild Wars, Oblivion, CS:S, CS 1.6, and CS:CZ.

But I'm starting to get into Dark Messiah also.

I've tried WoW and CoH. They both got boring way to fast.

You people that call yourselves "pro" crack me up. Do you get paid to play this game? Have a contract with someone from A-Net or Play NC?

Anyways, back on topic.

I play about 6-10 hours a day, probably enough to call me hardcore. I play Insta Gib Capture The Flag in UT2004 to take a break from GW every now & then.

Pro lol

this is the only online game I play.....otherwise I have played some computer games (civ, middle earth, etc). and I own all three chapters all with CE (got the CE for chp 1 recently). Hard core enough? and when I am not working I am usually either playing or reading this forum (or watching the pages load ever so slowwwwllllly).

I have played SWG and others, kinda lost my wife through SWG (she had other issues!) but I see the main difference as GW you can switch ofo, not play for a month, come back it doesn't leave you miles behind your buddies. It doesn't consume your life! I also play Battlefield 2142.
