Being Time On Playing
luckyny7
Yesterday I had nothing to do so I spent a lot of time playing GW. When it got to 3 hrs a message came up saying please log out and rest because I was on for 3 hrs. I just want to know will something happen if I don't quit?

If you don't quit, then you will get a message one hour later saying you have been playing for 4 hours, please stop. If you play another hour after that, then you will get a message one hour later saying you have been playing for 5 hours, please stop. And so on, until you stop and close the game.

). I was kinda going for the "You have been playing for 2 days" but didn't get to that. So the 24-hour-kick thing is not true at least.@lucky: I think there some sort of rule that MMO's need to send a message to users to take breaks every once in a while. To combat RSI and such (or heart failure like those crazy Asian cases you hear now and then). The message doesn't affect your gameplay, it's just a suggestion to take a break.

I seem to remember them adding these messages shortly after a widely reported death from playing an online game in Korea years ago but to answer the OP it's just a message that pops up NOTHING will happen aside from them not getting sued when you die.

i wouldnt worry about. It jsut tells you how long you've been "on"( i use the term b/c the AFK rings your usually not on).
i think its just a liability thing so that if you die b/c you've been playing for 4 days straight w/ no food and water, the family cant sue them for not giving him a message or allowing him to leave the game.
so fi you want to keep playing and dont need that reminding you that you have no life. jsut spam in your team chat( assuming your solo or H/H) some pre typed message so it goes away

I have sometimes been afk for 4 days in some past events so
the game does NOT kick you at 24 hour mark.
Just keep playing until you are ready to logout or your net drops out on you
nothing bad will happen.

You have been playing 5 years please take a break.
Got that a few days ago, i was very proud.

I got "You have no life. Get a life." I'm so proud of myself. I have no life.

Once I had GWx2 working, I made separate desktop icons for each instance of GW... and I can start and stop each of them independantly.
I also have another icon for the main instance, which has the -image parameter. I always run this first, to check for updates before I start playing. If there was an update, I copy the gw.exe to the second instance and run GWx2. That's the ONLY time I run GWx2.

You don't have to worry until you get the message "You have been playing for X hours. We know where you live and we're calling your mother."

No, you will not be kicked out of the game. You will, however, get an error 007 (a disconnect form Guild Wars) if you have been in the same zone/area/town/ect for 24 hours straight.
You can leave your game on for a month and you will have nothing to worry about. Hell, my best time was 1 week (and really close to 2 weeks but there was an update so I had to close GW Q.Q).
In conclusion: No. You're perfectly fine to keep on gaming. You can safely ignore the "please take a break" message.

The message is ANet/NCSoft's way of legally covering themselves if a player spends too long playing the game and gets headaches/migraines, eye problems or seizures. The warning about taking regular breaks is also in the instruction manual, but who reads those, right? Anyway, if little Jimmy spends hours staring at the screen and has a fit, the family can't claim in court that the game manufacturer has been negligent in not warning the player about the health risks.
