Just A quick message to the Guild Wars Devs

Having just gone over the 1,000 hours of game play over the last 9 month. I believe Guild wars has to be one of the most value for money game's around.

Having taken a month out of the game I have come back and started on my 3rd Character. I am still enjoying it as much the third time round as I did the first.

I will put up a screen shot of my age /AGE

So who else is in the old members club 1,000 hours or older

Screenies only please

P.S I did try a search to see if its been covered before but search system isnt as good since it changed.

PC Gamer gave Guild Wars the best value of 2005. I don't have 1000 hours yet, but I expect I will soon reach it.

5 cents per hour, not bad.

Mandy Memory · Feb 20, 2006, 05:59 PM // 17:59

There are people in this forum with nearly 2000 hours. Check the screenshot section.

I'm over 1,000 hours, but I'm at work so I can't post a screenshot.

And I'm only on my 2nd character.

Definitely the best value for the buck of any game I've ever played.

I'm somewhere around 1500 across 2 accts. 11 ascended chars, and I still hate the game

You can't possibly be sane enough to make any sort of credible claim about anything. Except for killing stuff in Guild Wars maybe.

he leaves it running while he goes to school/work (overly cruel, I know)

KurtTheBehemoth · Feb 21, 2006, 10:21 AM // 10:21

is there some sort of in game meter that shows the exact # of hours that you are in the game. And if it is a benefit to have more hours is that why you see inactive ppls characters standing around in most cities. pls some one shed some light on this.

jimmy_logic · Feb 21, 2006, 10:37 AM // 10:37

Is this something along the lines that more is better? I personally couldn't care less, but the true measure is how many months and if your still playing is what matters not the number of hours played.

Type in /age

Also /deaths shows the number of times you have died

I am approching 1000 hours, 960 ish infact.
Been playing the game since the begining of July but I have to say that I am coming to the end of my Guildwars playing days. It will soon be time to Hang up my sword and Axe. Once Factions comes out I will shake the dust off my armour and sharpen my sword ready to face the new land

Ditto... well, not maybe as much as day 1 or day 2, but it has become an essential part of my life. A day without GW is like... well, I dunno, haven't been absent for a whole day since day 1

I'm on 1200 hours now, but there's a difference between me and the people that have 3000 hours.

I've actually played 1200 hours, they've probably played about the same amount of time, +1800 hours of afk'ness, and those 1800 hours are just a waste of money, since having a computer on for 1800 hours isn't cheap

Str0b0 · Feb 21, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

I have to say that GW has sort of lost it's luster. Maybe it's just me and the way I like to play but I hate having to rely on luck to get a good group. I would infinitely prefer to be able to solo most of the game. I've wasted more of the only 900 or so hours I've played trudging around with incompetent people only to have to go back and do the same thing again with a more competent group. I'm hoping that with new areas to explore and new quest and character professions that I'll have more to do.

Swehurn · Feb 22, 2006, 05:29 AM // 05:29

Total cost including taxes: $56.99

Total cost per hour of gameplay: $0.03.

Yeah...I guess I got my money's worth.

Juicey Shake · Feb 22, 2006, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Too many hours [2,000+] / $0 = ERROR, ERROR, ERROR.

Roughly $0.00 per hour. Suhweet.

CorstedPirate · Feb 22, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

480 hours over 5 months. I'm at work so I can't post a screen shot. Maybe 30 of those hours don't count. I have forgotten to log out before leaving for work a couple times. I also let my best friend make a character on my account, the effort to get her addicted worked. She and her husband just had to go buy the game.

I have played through ALL OF MY 3000+ hrs... sorry, for caps, got irritated

I was unemployed for 4 months, and spent like 12-18 hrs / day at GW during that time doing this and that (some 250 hrs of it I've spent buying Charr-hides at Piken

). While being unemployed, I had all the time in the world to play the game I love the most

I have been afk for maybe 5% of the total time, but not so much that it would considerably reduce the amount I have played on all my accounts.

Dav85 · Feb 22, 2006, 07:10 AM // 07:10
