For all of us here, I'm sure GW is our favorite game. Dued the unexpected necesity to rollback the servers, nobody was able to play. What did you do in the meanwhile?

It's quite funnehhh to find there's another world far from GW eh? hehe

This rollback was actually the best thing for me. Since GW rules my life I have not showered since I got the game. During this rollback I had a chance to shower and ingest food and beverages and also re-aqquaint myself with my Sister and Father, at first they didnt know who I was but I explained how I have been confined in the basement for quit some time.

Well, I live in Minneapolis, MN, and we just got about 9 inches of snow last night. So I went out and played in the fluffy good stuff, tackling my younger sister. Then ate quesadillas and pumpkin pie. Oh, and of course refreshing GWG every minute or so checking for updates on the situation.

I really hate people who say things like that. People take gaming as a hobby, it's not for you to judge what people do with their time. As far as another "world", no. There's only one, actually. Some of us might be in our own little one, though.

I drove to the store, talked to my girlfriend and... Uh... Ate dinner? And spent a good deal of time on Guru. I've always insisted that I'm not addicted to GW, but after today... Not so sure about that. Guild Wars withdrawal symptoms.

Been reading posts on GWG, watched Medium like I do every monday, and have been sitting on my hands bored as hell because I had my heart set on playing GW tonight.

No one really understands my need to play it, but the thing is, my net has been down since nearly June of last year, and even when it was on, my computer suddenly hated GW after I updated it in July, it finally got fixed with a new video card in November, but the net was still down. It's been flakey, and not allowing me to get on. It's finally allowing me to update GW and get on and play without lagging out, and so I'm dying to play again.

Other than that, I've spent my time tonight chatting with my bf and trying to point people in the right directions, helping them realize the Network Status has updated for the reactivation of the GW servers, etc.

I feel like I have no life, I haven't anything to worry about as far as college goes tonight, I'm actually bored. This is sad.

I have been pushing the "login" button repeatedly for the last 2 hours and have gotten the same err072 message. Einstein's definition of retardation is the action of doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. I guess im retarded?

Roflmao ^^

Woke up at 6am (gmt +2, that maked 4am gmt ), tried to login into GW and saw the 072 error. Came to guru and found the thread that grew 24 pages in a few hours. After reading some posts wich got uterly repetitive after the first few, realised that Anet is more than 1 hour late with the rollback. Wish they updated the login-screen.

Edit:

Refreshed the login screen. I hope that the new deadline is more accurate. No more delay pliz. I want to login to euro servers and farm fow if europe has fav since i`m dam sure no1 will be online.

I've been backing up all the files on my computer for a fresh install. I was hoping to play tonight though because I'm moving and I wont have the internet for a few weeks... so I miss out on GW tonight, and the factions preview event

Ah well, I'll be back in full force with my CE of Factions

I wasnt there at the time of rollback, which is a good think because anything i would have done would be undone, but if i was around at the time of rollback I would either play CS:S, GTA:SA MTA or some work around the house, such as hw for uni...XD

I just finished my independent study work up...
And read a lot of ancient threads here on Guru.
And left the client up.
And used AIM.
And did more independent study work.
And read more threads.
