Yeah, I see a guild has a large role in gripping you. I'll see if i can get into a decent one, the one's i've been so far were either generaly idle or full of kids...

Thought i'd also try some professions i haven't bothered to develop yet, but then i'd have to go trough the same campaigns, doing the same missions, killing mobs, it gets boring doing them with henchis only.

Keep posting guys, at the very least you're giving me some good ideas of what to do ingame xD

When the news of GW2 first broke I was one of the "I'm leaving until GW2 comes out" group.

Then I quickly realized what I loved about GW the most: no-subscription fee allows me to play as much or as little as I want and it is still fun. The game still gives me goals & objectives that are rewarding (even silly things like titles or saving up for a minipet) and I can enjoy it very casually without depending on other people's schedules or finding a good group).

I'm playing other games while playing GW (MTG:Online mostly)... until GW2 comes out... but I do miss dedicating most of my time to GW (cause it's not quite the same as before).

Well, for the most of it, it's the addiction.
When i get really bored i start new character or play a long forgotten mule of mine, through all campaigns, get at least 1 title maxed for that char, at least 1 elite armor, 4 nice weapon sets and get all skills unlocked for him/her.

For some reason i always come back to gw.

Nothing keeps me in guild wars; I come periodically to meet up with people there who I know, but the game itself is no longer fun for me. The forums are great entertainment, though.

The fact that there is nothing out there that compares to Guild Wars. If there was something like Guild Wars that had random drops, full party of customizable heroes, LAN Based, and no kids I would have be gone ages ago. No monthly fees to, sorry old school gamer, I am not about to keep paying a company to rent software.

I actually went to WoW for about 1 1/2 years but just came back to GW because of the PvP.

Titles I guess trying for R6 Koabd (God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals) takes quite a bit of time. Also making lots of money to buy those pointless monthly everlasting tonics

Boredom. I really have nothing else to do, and the excitement level of GW is just a notch above reading a book or watching the same movies over and over again.

Other than that...I really don't know.

Well, in my opinion I don't think guild wars is made like the kind of game you log on to every day for 6 hours a day and expect to keep playing it still having things to do after 3 years. Not that you play that way, But I'm just saying Guild wars is more of a online RPG game. Like a Final Fantasy game, There is a good story, and then once your done with the game usually tons of extra things to keep you busy for a while. But once you done it all you done it all. There is no new content coming your way its over. I see guild wars like a very large Final fantasy game, Where you get to do the Missions with other people if you so choose, and chat and socialize with them in lobby. I think guild Wars is a great game, But It is not a mmorpg. Its fun and interesting more so than a MMORPG but you can get done with the content fast, and then end up doing it all over again. Not that this is a bad thing, For casual players like myself, I will take at least a year to get done with everything once. So Im grateful that guild wars lets me play when ever I want and still get stuff done rather quickly. Its a casual gamers online game, or a Hard core gamers long RPG.

My Guild, addiction and unfinished business. I really enjoy the company that MYST provides me, the satisfaction of seeing how much people enjoy being in it and that makes me want to keep leading and providing for the Guild and Alliance. I think after nearly 3 years of continual play and the sheer number of hours I've racked up that addiction has to play a part. And when it comes down to it, I still have a lot I want to achieve - GWAMM, another legendary survivor, LDoA, see the Guild on the ladder and hold halls once.

Once all that is done... well we'll see.

PVP is the only thing I play now on Guildwars. I've got plenty of money, but don't spend it, I'm not interested in new armor and weapons, never have been. I don't have friends in the 3-4 years I've had the game, like I used to, because they've either left or I left for 4-6 month breaks in the past so lost contact....so I hop on to play PVP for some enjoyment.

I wish I had people to go adventuring with and vanquishing like old, but I don't.

My lovely friends and alliance mates.

Also, I still have personal goals I'd like to achieve.

I have some master quests to complete along with those pesky titan quests out of Drok's to finish. I'd like to complete every mission in HM (masters, or not). There are still a few dungeons I haven't had the chance to complete. I also have the desire to spend more time in PvP. I've neglected that lately.

HoM I don't care about. It's sits mostly empty.

Elite armor - Don't care for. I buy what I like and most of what I like isn't "Elite".

I've also started a ritualist so it's been interesting learning that class.

Overall, I'm still just having fun. When that stops, even if I've done everything I wish to accomplish, or I haven't; I'll walk away and move on.

Nothing anymore really. I've done what I wanted to do for my characters and the Hall of Monuments. I've finised all campaigns with more than 10 characters with the protector titles along with it. Sure there are a couple of items I wouldn't mind picking up like an obsidian blade but then I don;t really need it with the stuff I have already. I need an expansion or GW2 to play again. So I am now playing other games. But then I've played for over 3 years so, without anything new coming out soon it was to be expected. It's a good game still in my book but there is a point for pretty much anyone where you get bored without any new content.
Looking forward to GW2 and hope by the time it comes out I will still have time for it. With games like Aion and Warhammer 40k online coming closer there is some real competition coming for GW2 since I can only spend each free hour only once. Timing, as they say, is everything.

Game updates... again and again... I'll wait for the HoM update, and if I like the change, I'll probably never leave again.
