how long did it take you to get to 20?

im lv 15 but just wonderin how long did it take ou guys to get to lv 20? iIve heard that some ppl even got there in 16 of non-stop playing

It took me 3 weeks of casually playing each day and using just the single build I created. I ascended just last night and hit 20 like 3 days I ago I think....then again I was doing just about all quests and missions.

first time it took about 6 days as a monk, My warrior is level 18 and it's been 3 days.

2 day

About 40 hours of play time.

After about 40 hours of play I'm at level 13, so at this rate, I'll hit 20 in about 60 hours total. Yes, I'm a slow player.

2-3 days. Did all mission to and 3 of the desert missions. Couldnt ascend at lvl 11 so did some quest and got to lvl 14 and ascended

about 65 hours

nothing wrong with doing it slow, that's how it is supposed to be played. However there are certain areas you can powerlevel yourself for 4 or 5 levels in a couple hours. But it kind of ruins the gaming experience. I'm going to japan in a 2 months and there is no high speed internet on that base so I'm just trying to get a bunch of lvl 20 charcters before I leave

Umm I think I got 20 to finish my ascension missions. At about 30+ hours I think. Less then a week anyhow.

My mesmer was at lvl 14 and I played him for about...130 hours? And my necro who I'm playing now is at lvl 15 and I've played him for about...80 hours I'd suppose. I'm takin' it slow, clearing out any and all quests that I can do. Sometimes I'll just play hours and hours of arena low level play.

I'm in no rush, I'm having a lot more fun than I think I would if I just did the necessary missions and powerleveled in 30 hours.

My problem is that with a new game, I have a hard time sticking to one character for extended periods of time, at first. I've made 6, deleted 2, so far. :P

1st character I made, total n00b, it took me what felt like forever to get to lvl 10, doing all quests/exploring - maybe 30-32 hours? - I hadn't even done Fort Ranik mission or very far past Piken Square.

My current character it's taken me about 14 hours to get to lvl 11.5/Borlis Pass even with doing a lot of side-quests (not all of them).
It's all familiarlity plus how much one likes to explore.

After about 48 hours, I'm level 13, so it'll take a while. I do a lot of social stuff, I'm not a powerlevler.

~60h on 1st char
~40h on 2nd char

though both chars now add up to like 220h playtime, so i did much more than levelling them

im only lvl 10 but ive been playing for a week. im guessing ill be 20 in about a week or a week and half...maybe less time depending on how much computer time i get during the week...but there is alot of stuff coming up so it might take 2 weeks...but thats ok because i dont plan on quitting this game anytime soon....*thinks about forever and guild wars*...*Drools*...
o.O;

It took me 101 hours and 10 minutes to get level 20.

around 60 hours for my first character, 8 hours for the second.

35 hours and lvl14. Taking all the sidequests I can find and helping people out when they're in need.
60 deaths though :-(

Exactly. Whenever I get to a new town, I complete every quest I possibly can before I move on.

Geese man, it took you 8 hours to get to level 20? And what you feel about GW after this?

I think all those who get to higher level of the game in such a short time start whining in a little while how easy is to level. Which is NOT, unless you stare at that monitor for 15 hours a day, having no work, no life.. nothing.

I've been playing for a couple weeks now, I am only lvl 14, and you know what? I don't regret. Because I have a LIFE. And I have real fun when I come back to play it again.

Most of the players in GW are teenagers, what else they can do? Some kids don't even have normal friends. Their best friend is computer. They spend like 15 hours a day at the computer. That's SAD.
