Not sure on the exact stats, but... 1100 hours or so in 4 months... chances are more time ingame.

I probably spend more time on the forums.. Reading everyone's funny/crazy stories and seeing their screenshots gives me motivation to play the game..

I really like thos e to be open so i can check stuff very quick, but i use firefox so its always more sites at the time xD

And then i check a forum and then i stick at that forum >.<

8 hours a day at "work".
6 hours a day "free time" (at most)... and usually only 4 of that I get to spend on the computer (because it takes at least two hours to convince my girlfriend to get off Maplestory and give me my computer back).

So yes... More time on Guru than in Guild Wars

I tend to leave Guru open in the background, since I started working for myself I don't have to worry about being told off for surfing during office hours.

I still probably spend more (active) time ingame though.

I do but thats just because out of the 2 years I've been at my comand I have spent 13 months out to sea or in the middle east. I'm also married so I can't really play the game as often as I like.

Oh and I failed to mention that when traveling in train ( 2 times a day ) I browse the forum on my pda by mobile Internet. So pretty much to much ^^.

1. Load up paragon.
2. Load into zone.
3. C + Space.
4. Tab into guru.
5. Tab back into GW
6. Repeat 3-5

So, I'd say about the same.

I don't play much GW these days....sometimes I do RA or AB because I can then not really care or pay attention to the game. Maybe 30min to an hour a day of GW.

Well, I grade a lot of papers and assignments, and I keep Guru open while I grade them.

Too bad I can't just write "Dumbass" on this essay I'm grading now. It normally is enough for me in Guru.

Yeah my Para's got me spoiled, too.

But I actually haven't been playing a whole lot, not much time.

depends on a umber of things here.

First is how tired am i? If im too tired to play i will end up here for a hour or so. resulting in a few badly spelled posts.

If i'm playing the game i will jump in and out when waiting on my partner, or when lookign for help or decent builds in hard areas.

If im just cruising along in game then i dont tend to touch here.

I think the reason why I spent more time here and on wiki than ingame is once you've done the quests and missions once, you kind of need to see what you've missed out.

The wiki will always be better for finding skill /quest lists. than using the quest log ingame.

The forums tend to contain more insightful statements than discussion in-game by tenfold.

So ingame is left for the playing, the forums/wiki are best for after you have completed stuff and need to research what you've not done (side quests/etc.).

Besides, it is less effort to log on the wiki or forum to know about upcoming events than to get information ingame. I spent a good couple of months not ingame but on the forums/wiki.

IMO of course.

Now that I think about it... I spend A LOT MORE TIME at guru than I do actually in the game. This is because I'm a college student with 19 units, so I never really have time for a play session but I can usually always spare five minutes between classes

Actually... that is what I'm doing now lol.

I don't play GW anymore, but I occasionally read the forums. So I guess that counts.

I read the Wiki's and the guild wars guru forums (here) during school all the time. Unfortunately, wiki got blocked by the school districts stuff, but Guru hasn't been blocked yet. YAY!
