I know what you're saying. Today I really wanted to just play some GW and work on my character. Seeing as how today our school had an inservice day , I was able to see those very sexy gnomes and worms. 8 more days to go.

I have the same feeling, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. Remember, this time we don't have to wait a whole month just for one more weekend; we get the finished game in just over a week!!! Just spend time with a pen and paper sketching out character ideas and new builds. The time will fly by.

I also know what you mean. I now have nothing to do all day but dream of GW. When it was over, I almost cried out of pity for my life.

I'm passing by the time watching the countdown right now... I keep trying to stop it on a full second (09:33:06:00)
I actually accomplished it once.

I definitely miss it. The second I went to bed after the BWE I wanted to play it more. I couldn't help but find myself talking about it to a few of my friends, explaining it's undeniable greatness. This was my first time playing the game, but I now truly understand what people were talking about when they said it was an awesome game. It's going to be tough waiting for it...

Oh, and thanks for that countdown timer. Although it makes me sad when I see it. Knowing that the release is so far away.

I was soooo bad off last night that after playing till 3:10 amEST and being Wurm food I loged on to GWG and spent a hour and a half on the forum looking at THE END pics till I was so tired I could not see. I have A-Net to thank for making all of my other games worthless pieces of crap. I have even thought of selling them all. But I will keep them as I will miss them if they all go away and they do pass the time even if they are a pale reflection of the greatness that is GW but the forum is more fun. It is like "the GW patch" for my addiction.

There is no other game that can fill Guild Wars' shoes. I played ROSE online and some Everquest 2, but they just dont feel as cool or immersive. I feel like the guy from that car commercial who is suffering from "adrenalitis" which is lack of adrenaline, except in my case it is "guildwarsitis". The only cure is Guild Wars.

I fired up my EQ1 account just last week. I hadn't played a MMO since the first week of EQ2 last year. I really like eq1. Well, this past sunday I play GW for the first time. When we lost connection, I quickly logged onto eq and canceled my subscription.

All 3 of those are horrible games, and the monthly fee is nuts.
