The news media did a recent report on a study regarding online gaming and stress relief. They said that people who engage in fantasy type rpg's, are less likely to bring stress from work into there household environment.
Now my job isnt stressful, but I can truly understand where they came up with that deduction.

Lol JK but anyhow personaly 2 hours of GW fills up me for the day I migh play extra 1,2 hours taking huge brakes in between. Still not alot of people spent 8 hours a day plauin GW 5 hours is to much but if you wana achieve somehting its the way.

I agree with all what you sad exept the Brain dead thing
Chess-Brain
Chekers-Brain
Card-Somewhat of a brai
Figure skating-Skill brain balance
SWIMMING-Skill Brain Life Practice friends
Friends-Cant make true friends well to bad for you if you secluded by mistrust to all people then you will die really lonely man
Its good that you and your GF share same HOBBIES its alrite i wpuldnt mind mine having same thing but you know taking her out for a walk or a dinner instead of plain is a good thing streanghtens the relationship
You are as ignorant as OP and nothing is menat to be offensive but some 1 gotta defend some points

Right now I'm clocking a LOT of hours on GW. I'm a jobless university student in search of a job, and when I do I won't log on as often. Anyways my classes start in a week and a half.
It's possible to have a life even if you're a hardcore gamer... I manage my husband, classes, homework, friends, family and I generally game for 2-6 hours on weekdays.
How?
My classes are usually in the morning. I attend, I study after the class or do assignments while hanging out with my friends. I leave at 9:50 AM and I'm rarely back before 6 PM, sometimes later (9, 10 PM - I have movie nights, language exchange groups, study sessions, family dropping by, etc). Husband and I cook (well I attempt, then he sends me back to my comp because I'm a very lousy cook), then we usually eat at our computers. We log off anywhere from midnight to 2 AM, and a good 6 hours of sleep is enough for both of us.
I guess that helps that we are both gamers and both of us have active social lives (we have similar schedules). He's usually home after me, since we go to different universities and his is a bit further from the apartment. But even though we're on two different games, we communicate a lot.
So yeah... I have a life. And I'm a big gamer >_>.

My girlfriend is all the company I need. Full stop. Even then I have isolated myself and been totally content with it for months at a time in the past. Mistrust isn't what secludes me; I just don't NEED other people to justify my life. You only need "friends" because you're weak when alone; I am not.
As for my girlfriend and how I treat her... She and I go wandering often enough, but going "out to dinner" isn't something either of us wants to do and it wouldn't go well either. You might suppose you know better, but you're wrong.
Oh, and for the record...
Chess, chequers and card games aren't sports. While to some extent they might require rational thinking.... it is in a pure and rather simplistic form and does very little to interest me. Such things are pastimes... for making time pass faster. I would not participate in them for actual entertainment.
Figure skating and swimming? No brainpower needed there. Flatworms can swim and pond-skaters can skate. They're hardly intelligent.
Ghost Omel
Agree on Chess and Chekers yeha you might be right
Swimming thinking not ok lets proove you wrong
When to do a FLIPTURN(you know what that is right? i sepose you are not a Profffesional swimmmer couse your legs and arms are incapable of swimming due to your secluded use of keyboard and sitting on the chair) I do it know i loose time i do it then i gain speed but loose my breath i do it in the middle then i wont get any advantage either==== You think when to do a flip turn
When to make a stroke(Movement with the hand you use to proppel yourself in the water) Do it now or wait a second do it hard or easy to save energy but increase spead or just use my lags and let my arms rest for sec=====You thik how to do a stroke.
Breathing(A costant motion of your lungs to provide you with air so you can live) Should i take breath now or wait another 5 sec wait do i need to take a breath i can go some more wait if i take the breath now i will have more before the flipturn which i will do to make myself faster after with i will do a stroke with my hand to proppel me faster inthe water and thus winning the 1st place and recieving gold medal and certificate instead of butcramp from siiting
OOh yeah Love Swimmin Love guild wars love chiling with friends wooot woooot THINK BEFORE YOU SAY becouse obviously you DONT you have no knowladge of swimming or any sport from what you are sayin gues what Sitting infron of PC or tv not alwas rewquires THINKING either.

wow, Nice troll post. Ilove these kinds of posts.
As to the question, I think I have a life:
Married, 8mo old son, full time job and I am a graduate student. And I still manage to log on prety decent time on GW. How, simple I dont watch tv or anything like that. GW is my nightly entertainment. I usually get on the game after work, usually after dinner and after my son is ready for bed.
Simply thinking that people who play games have no "life" is flat out retarted. In fact this whole thread you started seems like you are trying to feel better about your life by attacking our choices. To that, I say to you OP "get a life." Stop judging others when your still floundering for an exsistance.

Well, I don't have a computer/internet at home so I can only play GW at college/uni/library or freind's houses; I have GW stored on a portable hard drive. I play when I can... on days when I don't go to work and don't have much work to do at college, heck yeah I can turn on GW for maybe even 12 hours+, if friends/facutly/librarians don't mind :P

lazyrussian
8:00am-9:30am --> Wake Up, Exercise, Shower, Eat
10:00am - 6:00pm --> Work (I'm a science researcher - well summer internship - I'm a university student)
7:00pm -->Go Home, eat dinner, gym (if I didn't go in the morning), study for GREs
10:00pm - 3:00am-->Guild Wars (I've been living on 5 hours of a sleep a night for almost 4 years, and I'm totally fine)
As for girlfriend, I had one for over a year but we broke up before I got Guild Wars (which was in May/June of this year) for various non-game related issues. Do I want another girlfriend now? No not really - not ready to be tied down again/yet (past relationships have taught me this).
Do I have friends? Yes. Like myself, most of them work 8-10 hours a day - I do see them a couple times a week (i.e. I don't follow my schedule as listed above on those days).
When school starts I'll be ridiculously busy with volunteering, working, interning and of course studying. So to play GW, I will once again sacrifice sleep. My roommates are my bets friends, so I'll see them often enough.

Do I have a life? I dunno. I like my life, though.
I don't have a lot of friends, though a lot of people like me (not being conceited, I'm just not "disliked")
I recently got through fighter pilot selections here in The Netherlands for the Royal Netherlands Airforce and so I'll be pursuing a carreer in that direction (fighter pilot). Training will start either this October or next February. I will still game a lot, whenever I have the time, because (apart from flying) it's one of my "passions".
Like I said, not a lot of friends, and never felt I really needed friends. I don't often feel lonely and I'm pretty happy with myself. Ever since I first applied for the Airforce I also started working out again regularly and I find that can also really take your mind off things and it makes you feel far more "active", as one of the major problems I used to have in the past was thinking, over the weekends, "Dear God, I could've been doing so many more useful things with my time!"
I used to feel quite embarassed about my gaming "addiction", but how is it different to what other boys/girls/men/women do with their spare time who don't play computer games?
Ah well, dunno if I have a life or not, but like I said, who's the judge of that anyway?
If you're happy with what you're doing, within certain limits, obviously, keep at it!

This thread is f-in stupid.
I have a life. At least I think so. I have friends, I go out, I go to school, I do sports, the lot. But then again I don't play 6 hours a day. More like one. Then there's some people I know who game, and from what I see, they don't look like they have a life. There have been people with and without lifes before the computer even existed. There are now, and there will be years in the future when MMO's are a relic of the past. Gaming has very little to do with this.
Saying gamers don't have a life is just about as stupid as saying black people are stupid. Sure, there are stupid people who are black, there are also a lot of stupid people who are white/yellow/we, and a lot of smart black people. There are also gamers without a life, and there are people without a life who don't play games, and then there are people who play games who do have a life.

Sir Green Aluminum
Yeah I agree with du bist knbk. The people who I see saying this are people in games who got their butts kicked and say U hav no lif no wonder U won!! It's like saying I play this game but I can't play as much as you so I'm maddd!!! What's life anyways? Going to work all the time? Get with the times, we live in the future. The internet is a important part of life now.
Coffee Despot
A moment enjoyed is never wasted. Who cares what it is you do as long as you're happy doing it? I only play GW once a week or so for an hour or two, but I'm happy while doing it, just like I'm happy while kayaking, playing guitar, reading, running, or doing any number of other hobbies.
This whole "having a life" thing is absurd. Do what makes you happy. Anyone who judges you for it isn't worth keeping around.

I have a full time day job. I run a Tango dance event every Thursday nights, and I dance 3-4 nights out of the week. I play a few hours of GW after work and at night when I'm not dancing. Weekends I will play more.
So yeah, I have a life.

I tend to think I have a life. We'll use yesterday as an example.
Get up at 4:40am.
Work 6am-2pm
Got home, played GW from 2:30p-4:30pm
Family time till 7pm
Church group from 7pm-9pm
GW from 10p-11p
Then again, I have a wife (11 years in November) and two kids (6 & 4).

I pity you for having such a shallow, non-gaming existence.
Put your friends down, forget the sports, get inside and get a 1-up.

I usually spend 1-3 hours on Guild Wars per day. The rest of my day is spent hanging out with my friends, playing football, exercising, and going out to places. With school starting, I'll have to start playing less.
I'm young and I don't want to spend most of my life playing games.

lies, mmo rpgs require you to be a lifeless nerd to get cool armor or get good weapons, not even going to discuss what it takes to get some ranks *ahem* legendary defender of ascalon *ahem*. yeah i do have a girl friend and friends and play tennis but i have had to invest insane amounts of time into the game, particularly since you have to advance the plot to get new towns and skills in nightfall (that is really such a pain). my friends and girl friend havent discovered how much ive invested in this game and although its not complete dedication its depressing and i made my fortune by doing illegal activities which more than halfed the time that would have been invested in farming so people who play the game legally probably waste more time and effort on farming expeditions that may or may not pay off (guild wars farming is worse than a bad paying job, you may or may not get paid). i think that while its possible to play obcene amounts of gw and maintain a life as i do it doesnt take away from the fact that alike any other mmorpg it slowly takes over your life demanding more and more time.
now i realise that what the box says "skill over time played", is a total lie

whover started this thread was bored and felt like dissing the general gw community and got what he wanted. yes 6 hours is excessive i try to have 3-4 tops but when something new comes out, have no work and friends are away some times its nice to get 6+ hours in. not in a row but having breaks once an hour to go outside talk with family or working out. o and dont forget to eat. so ya 6 hours isint that much if you do it right.

I love how this thread is full of people soothing their consciences.. Some people spend 20 mins a day playing a game, some spend 8+ hours a day playing the game. Does playing 20 minutes make you +cool? If you're here to bitch about your real life leetness, this is not the right place, gtfo.

I think a majority of gamers do have lives...although there is also a minority that are those that have no social life and do just play the game and take it far too seriously.
I'm at college at the moment, play for the college rugby team, part time job, and go out with friends often and i find time to play guild wars at night or if im not going out during the day. It's not that hard to juggle your life so that you can still have fun outside with friends etc and still be able to play games.
It's annoying when people who play online games are stereotyped as being fat lazy people with no social skills.
I think at the moment due to college summer holiday i usually play from midnight to about 3 in the morning most days and thats as much gaming as i can get in. Which is a fair few hours a week.
Most of my friends dont even know i play this game, its just something that i like to do on the side as its a bit of fun, whereas some people like watching loads of t.v, each to there own i guess.
And as for "#3. Sports are for the brain-dead", oh please get over yourself...obviously you cannot be very good at sports otherwise you would not put them down. I would like to ask you exactly how are games only for the intellectualists among us then? As Guild Wars simply involves performing the same repetitve actions over and over again according to the context in which someting occurs, the only way the game changes is by having different enviromnents and foes to kill. If we look at it like that it is also simply for the "brain dead".

I have as much of a life as a guy who is too young for a job and too unathletic to be in the "super 1337 football teamzorz" can have.
Too young to be dating either. At least around here, only those gangsta hotshots are doing it at this time.
(Yes I'm over thirteen)

Yeah, I agree with a lot of the previous posts...I barely ever watch TV and if I do it's like an hour or two per week for a series. My husband works 60 hour weeks and I haven't found a job out here yet (he's in the Navy and we're at a remote location) so I have a lot of time to mess around. I spend anywhere from 1-8 hours on Guild Wars, but most of the time it's on as just a chat if any guild/alliance friends come on or need help and I'm spending time surfing the internet. Out here the internet is my connection to the outside world I don't care to be friends with the other wives on base, we really don't have anything in common and I don't have any kids, lol.

Yeah... You people over-complicate things... Just play the game if you enjoy it.. Don't over obsess in the game, You still gotta do what you gotta do, whether that means Picking up your kids from school, or getting up for awhile and eating something.
It's alright to play the game, as long as you are actually "living".. I mean, if you wanna play the game for a good 8 hours straight on a weekend, at least make sure you have enough hotpockets!
