you mean guild wars is NOT the real world?!
yeah am here a lot---frustration at the real world is much easier to work off killing charr than trying to talk to someone I know!

Every day. For me, Guild Wars is what makes my imaginations become more real.

ehh... i try and keep my RL seperate from GW. if i have a bad day, which 9/10 i do NOT, i just talk to my girl and just forget about it all. to be perfectly honest with you, there is almost nothing in this world that can piss me off. you can call my mom fat, a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO-- anything-- and i would just brush it off. but that's just me. i could care less for trash talk-- it's just my way of living my life the way i want it to be lived.

Yup, I play GW to escape from the real world.
That's what gaming is all about, isn't it?

When I get home in the morning it takes me about 15 minutes to forget about all the BS I just got done dealing with.

Its a horrible game to play if you have had a bad day, IMO. There's no real instant gratification. You're better off playing an FPS online.

A few times I've logged onto Guild Wars to "escape." Not in a really emotional or desperate episode or anything like that. I don't think they were even bad days. But just to have my mind take a break from dealing with whatever I was doing at the time. And it's times like those when I wish GW had more Sims-like features. I know I've suggested and discussed this before but I know if they made a whole expansion just for that, they can really tap into the Sims and Second Life group of gamers across the world. It wouldn't compete with those games, but it would get more of those gamers interested in Guild Wars in general.
I'm still waiting for a Sims type of game, which would be a great one to "escape" into. I'm aware of Second Life and have read about it and seen pictures and footage of it. But I'm not sure if that's really the one for me.

By day: A slightly stressed college student that doesn't get out of the house to do fun things often enough.
By evening: Elementalist/Dervish/Warrior/Ranger/Monk/Paragon who.. wanders about and collects money from dead bodies. Woot!
Yes, I definitely play to get away from the day. There's something fun about having an entire world to wander about and do whatever you want in that's pretty fun.
Though, usually, if I have a REALLY bad day I go onto CoD4 so I can shoot things. Much more effective I find.

Instant win formula:
1) Get stressed / bored IRL
2) Log to GW
3) Get even more stressed in PvP by bad players and lame builds, or in PvE by some 13 year olds
4) ???
5) PROFIT!

Usually I do play GW to get away from it all. And I'll enjoy myself when I goof around, but I find that once I start setting goals. Such as.. I mean how many of you have said this to yourselves?
"I really should start playing my _____ character more."
"My main should be working on his titles..."
Etc etc... Its a real sore and bore once you start doing that. I still have a warrior character whos supposed to be my final main (after ditching my necro and ranger who already have 6-7 titles each)...

Exactly why I dont go after titles.
But, I love guildwars for stress relief. Just hearing the login music calms me down. But if I had a REALLY bad day, then I'll usually do some FPS.

I don't really play to forget about my IRL stuff; sure it DOES change from IRL, but honestly, I like spending time with my husband or my IRL friends. If I have a really stresseful or bad day, I talk it over with my husband, calm down... then yeah, I might log on GW and kill some stuff. But my ADHD acts up so sometimes, even after logging on GW, I'll log back off or go AFK because I can't focus, and wind up talking with my husband some more.

I use Gw/Video games to calm down my stress that I get from school.
If I'm too stressed out, I'll usually not play it all because then I'll just listen to my iPod.

Every single day....

Every day I´m bored. If not Im reading a book or playing my uber Xbox360.
And I don´t like real life. Cause I hate the Northen society of Spain. All the discos fulled by drunken guys who smoke for prove they are machos, and chicks smoking and screwing with all the guys who smoke and drink. And they have 13-17 years. I think from the age of 18 people start to be real people. Im waiting eagerly when we all age eighteen

Don't really have a whole lot to get away from. I just play Guild Wars for what it is: It's a great, solid, fun game.

I play GW AND get drunk... now that is a way to get away from it all!!
Flem
Yep, video games are my stress reducers.

I don't play GW to "Get away"...I play to relax after a tiring day, and chat with people from all over that I have met ingame.
it's like watching a nice movie after 'work'...except..you get to choose the plot..
