are you hardcore GW?

I'm curious as whom plays GW exclusively.

Are most of you WoW (or any other MMO) players and log on GW for a break?
Or is GW your primary source of MMORPGing? As for me, I only play GW because 1. it's free 2. I dont have to invest 12 hours a day to grind up to cap level. (20 is alot quicker to obtain than level 70).

Right, lets clear this up to show my GW Pro-ness...

GW Is Not An MMO!

but yes, I consider myself a pro gamer, but only as i play all of the game, both PvE and PvP... the nittygritty of the PvP and build testing etc, I leave to better people in my guild and inthe community, but I can pretty much cover anything in the game...

I actually play other games to take a break from GW's

GW is my first and only MMORPG!
I used to play Diablo/DiabloII - Dungeon Siege - Sacred and Titan Quest, but now I play only GW!
When I need a break I just read a good book!

mmorpg

massively multiplayer online role playing game

last time I checked guild wars meets all of the above

anet just say it isnt to get people to buy it thinking different

------------------------------------------------------------------

i play wow aswell but more time on wow i spend as it is way better and more fun. thinking of getting star wars galaxies too

the poster that said GW isn't an MMO says so because once u leave a town, ur on ur own, w/a maximum of 7 other ppl. He's got that drilled into his/her head so doesn't consider it an MMO.

...and plz..... don't get Star Wars Galaxies.
it was a fun game, my first MMO. Played it religiously for 2yrs. Met alot of good ppl there, too. Was a tight knit community. but SOE d!cked millions of subscribers w/no vaseline. Ask any SWG'er. but hey, im sure someone will come by and say swg is a great game, dont hate, etc.
imho...overall, the game isn't nearly up to par as it once was in it's prime, back in '04. Most towns are deserted, as most subscribers left the game entirely due to SOE's negligence/ignorance. I went back last year when they reactivated everyone's account for 2wks free. I quit again soon after it was up.

here's an article u can read that will sum up the game from an unbiased source.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxies

Actually not just that, MMO, by creation cannot be instanced and as even the towns and outposts are instanced with a maximum of 100 player slots available in each, it can't be a MMO...

By gameplay and build of the game, Guild Wars is actually more of an Online Action Adventure... Damn Hellgate London is more MMO than Guild wars as you can meet up with anyone at any time anywhere

Besides, its not even a real RPG either, but thats a debate for another time and place on the forum

second MMO-wathever you want to call it- game.

been almost two years with GW, only break games are console games and off line games, and even then, sometimes i dont finish those games cus im back at GW or if i do finish them, is like 3 months after i bought it.

GW is the only online game I play atm. Was thinking of gettin the new Battlefield.

This is my first RPG as well and I play a lot! So, not much to compare it to since it was also the only game I had tried, until two days ago, when I installed Titan Quest. (my son works for Iron Lore and I figured I should check it out)

So, hardcore? Meaning way too much time spent playing? Guilty. Meaning I spend time thinking of great builds and dream of winning HA? Nope. I happily play PvE, and have just recently realized that I have improved since I started out (from the last beta weekend on). So, maybe in a another year or so, I will feel comfortable enough to attempt PvP! Who knows what that will look like then? But I'm pretty sure I will still be playing GW.

I have, and a lot of my guild have too...

in fact, we're currently polling the guild to see what other games we all want the guild to shift into. 2142, Archlord and Quake Wars: Enemy Territory are on the current list. On person mentioned WoW and the entire guild jumped on him for being stupid

I actually have to play other games just to get a break from GW! There are so many things to do if you are active in all aspects of the game.

My advice: Try everything!

Hardcore?... I've had the game 5 months and played for 1,500 hours. I've also bought all 3 chapters.

lol on everyday but sunday thats reserved for the g/f 4-12 hours a day so i would say im hardcore

It's like my brain in someone else. 8|

GW is the only MMORPG (Don't start the debate about whether it os or not) I play. I play about the same kinda amount on CounterStrike source as well.

The only serious online game i play.
Else i like to play Trackmania Nations and Warcraft 3: TFT on LAN.

I play GW for 12 hours or more, I also play BHD when I feel like it, but yes you should try everything when it comes to MMO.

I mainly play GW but I took a break not too long ago to play Rappelz (Korean-translated MMO, it's still in development, second jobs aren't out yet.) but that got boring so I came back to GW. Now I'm playing GW and America's Army: SF as my online gaming with FFXll and LoZ: TP for console.

Get it, it's amazing . Just do me one thing, unlock and use the BAUR, not the Voss, you'll know what I mean when you hear about it.
On topic, I stopped playing GW for a good while since I bought 2142, But I've recently been spending a fair amount of time on it, since I want value for my money rather than having bought it, then not doing anything with it. Plus, it's the only online RPG I have, while my bro plays WoW, and doesn't like GW.

It's currently is my primary MMORPG(Yes it is an MMORPG )

That will not change within the foreseeable future.

Playing GW most of the time.
Sometimes my fiancee wants to play Unreal Tournament (2004).
And I have LotR Battle for Middle Earth when I want to game and know I might have to quit suddenly (you can't save your in-mission progress in GW).

More is not really possible with a full time job, house keeping and a relationship.
