Country: Canada Time Zone: Ummm, central or mountain. I dunno, we don't have daylight savings time here! Employed: full-time Standard Working Hours: 7 a.m. until . . . whenever Standard Working Days: mon-fri Occupation: United Parcel Service Usually work about 50+ hours a week and that leaves little time for GW during the week. Get home, shower, then realize damn, I'm totally wiped out! Spending 10 hours a day in a rolling brown oven is not easy. Exhaustion and my girlfriend keep me from playing most nights, only really have time to browse the forums. Weekends, though, I usually get in a couple of hours of play time in the early mornings, usually 7 to 11 a.m. then it's time to do errands and socialize and indulge in my summertime pleasures, mainly fishing and golf - you know, any activity that involves beer! |

Country: United States Time Zone: PST Employed: Yes Standard Working Hours: Changes every day, but is always one of four shifts: 8:30am-4:30pm, 11am-7pm, 12pm-8pm, 2:30p-10:30pm. I usually work this last one because my manager knows I hate getting up early. Standard Working Days: Usually Thursday - Monday, but again, it changes. Occupation: Jewelry retail salesperson Gender: Female Married: No, but I live with my boyfriend of 2yrs (who also plays gw). Have Children: no, and probably won't for another 8yrs or so. Region: America PvP: sometimes, HA only, and only with guild members and thier friends PvE: mostly Been Playing Guild Wars Since: August 2005 Been Employed and Working Since: August 2005 Started playing guild wars when my friend got me hooked on it last summer. I unfortunately started my full time job right before I got the game. Working retail full time sucks because of the goofy hours; I usually have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off and there's no one else online when I have time to do stuff. I'm usually at work until at least 10pm Friday and Saturday nights. The other downside is that I have to deal with people all day and be nice and helpful even if they're being total jerks to me, because I want to make a good impression for my company and I want them to buy stuff from me so I make more money. By the time I get home, I have absolutely no patience for any of the normal shenanigans that go on in game. Thankfully, I put in my two weeks notice yesterday so I can go back to school in the fall. I'm a physics major though and am going to take a really heavy courseload my first quarter, so I might not actually have any more time to play than I do now. :-P |

Occupation: Fund Analyst (one of the Big 5 Canadian Banks) Gender: Male Married: No, but only for another year or so. Have Children: no, Region: America PvP: HA and AB mostly a little random when I am testing builds etc. PvE: fair bit, Been Playing Guild Wars Since: April 2005 Been Employed and Working Since: well sence I was about 15 I have never not had a job, but at my current place 2.5 years. My screwedup hours make sleep an issue anyway, so I use GW as a way to wind down after work and decompress in the afternoon, then I take a nap for a few hours and have dinner go to the gym after that. Weekends is a little different but it depends on the rest of my life. |

(She's put up with me for 5 years now! )Kids: One hyperactive 3-year old son (working on the next one! Pet: One 45-pound, overly-needy, couch-potato Beagle I play GW 2-5 times per week. During the weekday evenings, its usually after I've got the kid down to bed and no other responsibilities are pressing. I always try to get at least one session in on the weekends, because that's when most of our very small guild of real-life friends get on. (They are parents too... similar schedules.) Dwig |

Standard Working Days: Any day of the week Some people think models are airheads but when I tell them I play online computer games in my spare time I know they think I'm more intelligent. That's why I love GW *heart*. I normally play at night, occasionally between photo shoots. Sometimes I even play in my lingerie. |

Country: England Time Zone: GMT Employed: Miraculously yes Standard Working Hours: in theory... 9:00-5:30 I've not had to do crazy overtime for a while, which is nice. They give me dinner if I do, so I don't complain Standard Working Days: Mon - Fri Occupation: Video Game Designer. I've been in the industry for just over 6 1/2 years at the same company. /age says I've played GW for 15 months!  . I mainly played a necromancer, and she got over a year old and I maxed a few titles and things on her too. I also played a ranger and mesmer a lot. I played a warrior and monk for a bit, but I mainly stuck to those first three Eventually I deleted everything to quit, but that only lasted a month.I came back to play a ritualist. If I hadn't deleted, I probably would have never started a Canthan character at all... it's hard to get over the investment I put into the Tyrians - skills, armour, quests etc, which meant that I kept playing them instead of starting a Factions character. I think the only things that I miss from my old characters are the 100% Cartographer title, various 15k armours and rare weapons, the birthday present I got for my necromancer and the miniature Kuunavang that I got with the collector's edition... y'know, the sentimental things  Luckily I still have a few things that I can't lose like Divine Aura and Pre-order weapons! I'm having a lot of fun now with my ritualist, and I've re-rolled my Tyrian ranger too. I think my next goal is 15k Canthan for my ritualist... and then I have a few other things planned too, so there's still a lot of fun for me to have yet
