I started playing mmorpgs with Diablo 2. The game was great at first but then I started playing too much. Any chance I got I would play it for hours on end usually about 10-15 hours a day. Eventually this almost cost me a 3-year relationship, a semester of school, and almost my job. I managed to pull away from the game barely in time. Since then I have been very put off by mmorpgs and have stayed as far away as possible. Then I heard about GW and also heard that it is non invasive (in other words non addictive/habit forming) so here are my questions.
1. Is it possible to play this game for only 1-3 hours a day and still have a successful account? I work and go to school and don’t have much more free time then that.
2. Is activity a big concern? I know that GW is guild based on and encourages playing with groups of people (hence the name) so I don’t want to buy the game and find out that no one wants a team mate that only logs on a couple hours a day at infrequent times and only every other day or so.
3. What profession would you suggest for someone who is just looking to have fun a couple of hours every day or so? I'm not looking to be elite or play on a ladder I just want to be able to log on and relax and not have to worry about work/school and basically relieve some stress and have fun. I also don’t want to get my rear-end handed to me by every leet speaking prepubescent munchkin that comes along.
Thanks in advance for any replies and comments

1. Yes, this game is skill based and it will just take you a little longer to get to the really good parts of the game.
2. You can group with NPC Henchmen. Although usually its pretty easy to find a group, or join a guild, and use them. I always help guildies out.
3. All of the characters are great. It truely depends on what you like to do. Monks are always a very good choice as well, since they are in really short supply right now. They can also solo (adventure alone) very well.
Anymore questions.. This is a great place to ask them... and if you want ask me in game.
