Just a fun topic, I wanted to know how many of us actually READ more then play :P! I know that I for one spend 3/4 of my time reading about the game and its eccentricies rather then playing it xD Maybe a bad habit, but in all honesty, I can't play more then an hour or two without getting an headache. On another note, I love reading, watching screenshots of other people playing, it gives me the craziest ideas for my own character, which actually makes me play more, it's kinda'a mutual thing.

I've recently started to spend more than half my time on forums, mainly in sell or riverside but starting to go on all forums now.

As a Moderator, Inde does not allow me to play the game. I'm forced to patroll my areas. Times like this where I'm in an area I dont patroll is when Inde isnt looking. =3 *dives back into the outer circle*

Since I'm usually looking at wiki and guru while I play as well as at school, I think it's either about the same, or more time on wiki and guru.

The forums mostly since my pc crapped out on me. More entertaining to read the crazy crap on forums than actually play guildwars.

Largely because GW is just a chatting tool for me now, for those friends who don't use IM.

GWG or GWW.

Love the game, but so burnt out on it that I can't stand to play it much.

Modding Ventari's took a lot of my time, hence why I don't do it anymore. Riverside requires a lot less time, so I actually play more then I use to.

lol yea me either until I got lumbered with Ventari's. 30+ reported posts a day + what ever I use to find by browsing = 3+ hours a day work, and for what? constant abuse here and in-game...9 months of that is quite enough.

I'm Vanq now (well when I actually log on) plus going back through Chapter1 to do all the bonuses I missed for the Protectors title. Promised myself I never get involved in the title BS..oh well

I spend more time on forums than playing, because I can read the forums at work. Only time I'm in the forums at home is if I'm reading while I eat or tracking a thread I posted in or found interesting. I only have a few hours a day when I can actually play ANY games. 10-11 hours a day at work, and 2 hours a day in transit = barely any time for the rest of my life if I wanna do something silly like sleep or spend time with my kids.

Tough call. Probably a little more time on the forums because I can get on them while I have downtime at the lab (which I haven't had this week). But sometimes I do not have the time to actually do anything on the game at home either (like now), so I will get on the forum instead.

If they had an /age command on here I'd probably be really mad at myself for the thousands of hours I've spent on these forums instead of doing something more productive. As it is Thanksgiving long-weekend here in Canada I told myself I was really gonna get some gaming in but, alas, sidetracked by the almighty Guru yet again.

I definitely spend more time on the forums than in-game, lately. Mainly because any free time I have lately is at work, where I can't play, but I can surf. Overall, I've probably spent more time in-game, though.

I spend a lot of time on the forums too. Mostly because its good for the quick 5-10 miniute check in that I have between classes or before work (where I couldn't really get to "play" GW).

I'd say it's pretty close.

I don't like to stay in GW if there's nothing to do, and when there's nothing to do I usually go to QQ forums or here.

well, I usually have the site up and running (even when it wasnt), and I have been spending less and less time on gw since eotn was released (now why would that be??? ).
So I am guilty of spending more time here reading than playing, checking out new armor and combos...helping out answering newbies questions and all around just being my fiepy self.

I always have Guild Wiki open while playing. Mainly so I can check stuff out quickly and easily. I'm a bargain hunter so I spend alot of time looking up which collectors are where and what items they take.

Me, I havent actually played for about a month now. I get on once a week to check up on rare prices and ectos. I search the 3 wikis for updates and new builds. Check the official site, then GWO and Guru for WTB and WTS and other discussion.

i am on the forum and wiki(s) more than in game....maybe an hour in game on a daily basis.....probably close to 2-3 hours in forums etc...lack of productivity at work.....imagine what i could get done if there was a block on guru or wikis. P
