With the 6th Gw birthday Celebration coming up in the next few weeks, I'm curious to see the average lenght that players have been playing this game now.
A lot of the older gamers have quit and pass on, and not to brag, but I must be one of the few player that remember things like the sorrows furnace update or the removal of refund points. Even further back when they removed the /roll option from towns because of the spams and scams that were appening.
I have been playing since the release of Guildwars: Prophecy, almost 72month, 6 years. How bout you?
P.S: if any mod could add a poll? this could be interesting.
How long have you been playing?

59months and I must say, the HA community has gotten so much worse as people get higher rank lol.
I remember when doing the droks and fire island missions were hard and rangers could evade. Good days

But yeah, since guild wars is dying, youll find that most people that still post on these forums have been playing from the start, as there arent many new players coming in
i have been playing since a little after the release of factions myself

Kook~NBK~
I've been playing since a few days after release. (Had a hard time finding the game in my neck of the woods.)
Aycee
2 Days after release, taken about a year and a half worth of breaks though. Also lost many guru accounts due to me forgetting passwords lol including 2 or 3 lost accounts for the same reason -_-'''

66 Months. I think more interesting figures are the number of hours one has played in that time.... my total GW time adds up to about 6000 hours, which is the equivalent of 750 days at work....when I think of all the money I could have earned in that time....it's close to a house, in cash.

Nov/Dec beta 2004

April 28th 2005, 71 months, it was the very day that the game was released in Germany. I quit in late 2007 tho, I was in a Top 100 GvG guild and I just couldn't stand the constant pressure to perform well and make no mistakes and stuff. It really affected me in a negative way... Now, 3 and a half years later, I try to make a PvE comeback as a casual player, but so much has changed in this game, unbelievable.
Btw, since I started playing right on the day of the release, I should be among the first players ever to get a 6th year anniversary minipet. Do you know when exactly this will happen? Because for some reason, according to Guild Wars Wiki, the 3rd edition of minipets got available on April 25 2008 or so... That's strange, because apparently that was not exactly 3 years after the release, so how could there be any 3-year-old characters on April 25 already!? Don't want to highjack the thread here or go off topic, but that simply struck me while looking through the wiki...

Rolled my Ranger the evening of the day Prophecies went live.
Lots of other games along the way; no use in getting stale.
But after visiting foreign lands, I always return to GW my home.

Says 62 months
Funny I thought I got the game a few months after it came out but it would seem not.
As a matter of interest when was the actual release date and was this world wide or did the uk come in later than some other countries.

I started with the "E3 for Everyone" preview event in May 2004. Played during every preview and beta event after and then through release of the game. However over the years since then I've had various periods of being away from GW for months at time.

There could be something to my wife's complaints that I'm getting lazy.
