Same here. If they ever block this site at work, I'll have nothing to do in my down time...

But most of the people that say they "don't play anymore" still spend more time in game then I do. Lol.

Not playing a lot since 2 months. Was AFKing mostly during Canthan New Year.
Sometimes I login for 1-2 mins, maybe travel to a few outposts, or do 2 Raptor Runs, but that's it at the moment.
But I check the forums quite often.

Maybe we should define what constitutes "playing". When I'm farming with /Rt skills or passive damage skills (VWK, Glad's Def, etc.) I often just alt-tab between GW and my browser long enough to activate a new skill, then switch back and browse a bit, etc.

Is that really "playing"?

I no longer play. I'm in one of my "retirement" periods, but cant even log in at the moment and idle as my PC is out for the count currently (I'm a mac user so am not even motivated to fix it).

I miss friends online mostly, but like following the happenings still here on the forums when I have a little down time to browse a bit.

I post alot since I am at a dorm and it takes me little time to post while doing homework. I don't play much during the school year due to the amount of homework and labs that I have, I play everyonce in awhile but not horribly much.

Me too! Well, most of the time. I mean, I'm at home now and posting, but that's only because I only have about 5 minutes before I run off somewhere. Not enough time to play any. Well, off I go!

I don't really post any and I play even less these days. The attraction wore off when EoTN appeared with no new ingredients on the side of the tin. I do enjoy coming here to read though

Of course I still play... And if the servers are still up and running I'll probably come back to GW1 years from now for that old nostalgic feeling.

Post: read and sometimes post during lunch at work. Also when being afk in GW.
Play: online almost every day for several hours, but I don't always play.
Sometimes I just chat with guildies, friends or allies.
Or I keep an eye on chat when doing other things (dual monitor ftw).

Oh stop being jealous


I do indeed play, some weeks I play more than others, it all depends on how wrapped up in something I get, or if I'm busy beging wrapped up in something not GW related.

I'm still playing all aspects of the game though, from missions to farming, PvP to just questing for the hell of it. It's all good for me.

I post and play. I usually post at work on breaks, lunch and when I'm really bored. I mostly play in the evenings after work and on the weekends.

I don't believe your check is being drained. It's FUTA and SUI employer paid.

Also, those funds are taxable to the recipient.

But to answer the question: No I don't play anymore. I'm not sure why I read the forums. Old times sake I guess. I had hoped Gwen would bring back the interest but it didn't

I play maybe 2-3 times a week but not as nearly as much as I did before. After 2 yars I think there is only so much one can do before you want something different. GW2 where are you ???

I play at least as much as I used to play when I got the game almost 3 years ago now. The reason is now I have an established group of friends/guildies that love to do things that take a long time to do. Examples include DoA HM full run, Slavers HM full run, 2 UW HM clear outs back to back. When I first started playing I didnt have the skill or the connection required to do anything similar.

And yes GW has still a lot to offer, if you're getting bored playnig then u probably need to get yourself a new network of GW friends.

Even if I quit GW, I will NEVER play WoW. Not a chance, not ever will I "pay to play".

Of my 3 years of playing I just now started ACTAULY farming. Otherwise I wouldn't be here posting or in there playing.


I was dieing out of the game until I saw the possibility of a Xunlai Marketplace, I started looking back into it and im enjoying the game for another month or so.

If they do release the XMP i'm here till GW2 betas.

I play - if I'm not on the forums here, it's a fairly safe bet that I'll be in the game somewhere (unless I'm working or sleeping).

I always try to put in at least a coupla hours of play every day. It's a good way to blow off some steam

Still going strong. Back into PvP right now and doing a bit of trading on the side. If I ever get bored of PvE I go to PvP, and vice versa.
