when you form a communist guild

When you type /age and realize that you've spent more time playing GW that you have working (steady 5 days a week) in the same time period

When you can name all 17 of your PVE toons and professions AND where they are AND what weapons they're currently using AND what they're storing

When your toons have personalities and they dream about YOU!....

When you stay up late playing and lie to your wife about what time you got to bed.....um sure honey yeah I went to bed at 11:00pm (read 2:45am..)

When you own hundreds of games but pretty much have only been playing GW for 2 years....(this is really me!)

When you have screenshots of momentous victories blown up to poster size and FRAMED on your wall (this is really me too!)

And last but not least ---- when you have 4 accounts in various stages (yep me too)

When you're a summer associate (Soon to be lawyer/current law student) at a major law firm, and you look at partners, associates, secretaries, clerks, paralegals, and support staff, and assign them ranks, and talk about the ranks to a fellow summer.

"Yeah...Mr. K**** is definetely r9."
"Yeah, but D**** is r11, with KoaBD r2."
"That paralegal is so obviously a r4..."

You're developing software and running a test on it, and write up a chart with two columns comparing what the documentation says vs. what the program currently does, and then realise that you've headed the columns "Wiki" and "In-Game".

Did it a few minutes ago

I know I've been playing GW too long when I'm at work and take my psuedo-smoke breaks (I don't smoke) and head to the bathroom and sit down for 5-10 minutes devising and concocting new builds and strategies...even if I don't have to go #1 or #2.

I know I've been playing GW too long when I'm mowing the lawn trying to make sure I haven't missed a single blade of grass cause I'm going for master mower cartographer for my lawn.

...when you dream about fighting an enemy, only to wake up and find out that the skill combo you were using actually works...

Had that happen once, but it was only a mediocre build I dreamed up...

But that's just my two cents

you feel common when they change the name of your favorite district.

...you watch a bunch of ants take apart an insect and think to yourself "Minion Factory FTW".

...you watch the Terminator movies, and realize that the machines could have actually won the war using a single 55 monk.

...you think Steve Irwin must have taken animal handling lessons from your 105 Drake hunting Dervish.

...you wonder who would win in a fight between an Illusion Mesmer and a Jedi Master.
...you get into a serious argument with a Star Wars fan over said Mesmer/Jedi battle.
...the Star Wars fan you were fighting with was yourself....

...you are sparring in your Martial Arts class and seriously wishing you'd packed Second Wind on your skillbar....

...you can recite the location and NPC of a given quest at the drop of a hat.

...Star News 23 is the only internet video you look forward to watching, and Heal-bot is the only comic you want to read.

...when Roy Mustang snaps his fingers, and the first thing that comes to mind is Immolate...

...when you justify playing Guild Wars because you're in college majoring in computers...

...when you reach for a bottle of aspirin and think to yourself 'Restore Condition FTW'...

...when you consider your cat your minipet....

...when you talk about smiting someone, and you're not even thinking about religion....

(pause for now)

Yichi · Jul 19, 2007, 11:00 AM // 11:00

you actually have ideas or thoughts of the game in which you relate to real life....

Quru · Jul 19, 2007, 11:24 AM // 11:24

When you get lost and think "i will map-travel to nearest outpost" or when you go to buy train/bus ticket you say "lf runner (place to go)".

When you feel really upset about leaving/taking a long break from the game. Or feel really sad, when you say good bye to your leader and guildies.
