I been playing since June of 2005 i think. I didn't get into the beta, in fact when the game first come out. I avoid getting it since I don't want to spent alot of hours on MMORPG. Ever since I got it, I have been playing for 19 months with over 1000 hours on my account.

Been playing since August 2005, I have 8 toons and have pushed 7 of them
thru NF already, understand why the OP only wanted ppl from beta
responding, and this is an example of one the biggest problems in GW,
ATTITUDE, all the problems posted here and why ppl have done the things
the way they want to is there "attitude" or to put it another way, there
expectations.

Want to get pugs active again, dangle the carrot in front of the pug
donkey, like if you complete a mission with all real ppl, you get a
couple extra skill points or something, but there is no reason to pug,
except for the social aspect.

One reason I have henched 90% of NF is I like to go slow, look around,
try some different things, seems like alot of pugs just get thrown together
and then push thru the missions as fast as possible, no thank you.......

Sorry for being log-winded, I think I might go help some "new ppl" get
thru a couple missions now......

I've been playing Guild Wars prerelease (first time was May 2004)
I joined this forum days after its creation. (see member number)

Got the pre-order in Oct, 2004, I think, and played the beta events. Bought two copies of Prophecies the day it was released; one for me, and one for necro daughter's birthday the following day. We've been in it ever since, and added a few more family members along the way.

)

Bought a week after retail. Mainly because on the day of it's original release date I only realized that whent he stores were closed already and to go away for a week. So yeah, however long that is...

Lonesamurai · Jan 23, 2007, 10:09 PM // 22:09

been playing since the oct/nov 2004 betas

I picked it up shortly after release. [WPG] was formed May 22, 2005. On May 22, 2006 the expansion guild [WPG2] was formed.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 24, 2007, 01:03 AM // 01:03

well............

my husband and his brother picked it up in May of 2005. I, however; was working overseas and my laptop wasnt capable of handling graphics like guildwars and other computer games (found that out when I got home in August and loaded it and well, lag was one of the first things I knew about guildwars, boy was I impressed when I got a graphics card

)

So I didnt get into this until August of 2005----I was out of the country and working so I didnt have any free time anyways....after the job was over I had to move back to the usa (can you say ems? and dhl?)......

have been on just about everyday since (ok I have taken a few breaks to visit my mom in florida and she doesnt even own a computer...... she is 80!)...

Yep I've played since the Betas. Still have my original ranger character too. I did take a few months off when real life called and I may be taking a break again now that the newborn is here. I think I'll stick with Guild Wars until the end though.

Mortanius · Jan 24, 2007, 03:05 AM // 03:05

Bought the game the day it came out. Ironically enough, my ISP died that same day and I couldn't play for a week.

Kool Pajamas · Jan 24, 2007, 03:12 AM // 03:12

I started playing about 2 or 3 weeks after retail release. Wish I would have started sooner.

Been in love with GW since the "E3 For Everyone" preview event. Haven't stopped since then, even though it has followed a different path than the one I was expecting in those events and in early GW. Can't say I hate the path they chose though, it's still more appealing than any generic-grind treadmill MMO around. In fact, I like GW the way it is though.

floppinghog · Jan 24, 2007, 04:56 AM // 04:56

I played some of 2 of the many WPE's before release, not sure at what stages the game was at, but the login area was beginning Gates of Kryta mission area.
When I first played, it was so overwhelming with what attributes to try and all that, of course I was noob, but besides that I knew already I could get into this game then.

I actually started to play 1 week after release (couldn't find time to get to best buy for it). You know, when I think back, I think there were collector's editions for GW there, but I told myself, Why would I wanna pay extra for some headset and stuff I probably won't use... (meh I wish I had the grasp of what divine aura was really then... O well!)

So yea if you skip all my typing, I was here from beginning

Teger · Jan 24, 2007, 05:23 AM // 05:23

I bought 3 months after it came out, so I guess thats near the beginning now that GW is 2 years old...

Shadowfox1125 · Jan 24, 2007, 06:04 AM // 06:04

First played GW during the January BWEs.. 2005. Wow, 2 years ago.

taiwf · Jan 24, 2007, 11:22 AM // 11:22

i still remember how they stream the prince ruink mission on the 2nd/3rd of the wpe and that was mind blowing...

I miss the ch1 guildwars experience and unfortunately nightfall doesn't give me quite like that.... DoA is disappointment.... I been playing gw all the time till DoA release....
