gee. new builds, unlocking as much as possible, tombs, questing titans, new SF expansion, playing with friends. special event comradely, build of the month discovery, underworld, fissure, making custom quests for my guild. recruiting for my guild, and overall enjoyment of playing a MMORPG without having to shell out a fortune.
thats the short list of my reasons to continue playing it. Since that may not be enough for you ... I do have good news...
I just saved a bunch of money by switching to GEICO. Yea baby... You can do it...

I play because I enjoy it. I have a guild that is made up of primarily adults and we keep it that way by using the boot when necessary. We have a great time whether it be PvE or PvP. I enjoy helping my guildies level up their extra toons ( I think I have helped run the ascension missions 20 times in the past couple of weeks). I enjoy going in PvP and getting whacked by the build of the month. I enjoy going to FoW and UW and getting whacked by everything. I enjoy Farming and Running. It's a great game. If your attention span isn't long enough to see all the diversity in GW then you need to go get a PS2 game or something. I would wager that most of the "I played for a month and got bored" crowd never saw the Rotscale in Majesty's Rest or explored Dragon's Gulch or any of the other really cool places that are off the beaten path in this game. I have probably 99% of the map uncovered with my main toon and as soon as I find that other 1% I'll go there. This game can be SO much more than some people allow it to be.

i keep playing becasue people come to this game and farm for 600 hours, and then try pvp once. then i slay them and get faction fame and guild rank.
j/k
becasue its fun. i do pvp and pve and explore in both. in pve i explore the maps and in pvp i explore strange new builds/groups. sometimes to be pwnd and sometimes to do the pwning.
i have to say one of my favorte things about GW is gettin in tombs (or a pickup gvg) and getting on their TS server and meeting interesting people from all over the world. i have been on servers where only one other person spoke english as a second language and it had to be translated. i can understand a bit of french and a bit o spanish so it wasn that bad. i now know people from scotland, korea, austrailia, the uk and just about anywhere else.
the only country i really havent kicked it with in GW is poland. you guys need to start representin!

arghh.... I'm so late to the party.
What keeps me playing? The fact that I can stop uninstall/ reinstall and play for anytime I get bored of my other games..... and not have to worry about what I missed or a monthly charge.

try another character class. all the classes give you a different perspective of the game. get involved in a friendly guild, chatting and doing all sorts of pvp and pve things together is awesome. in fact, i've been playing since aug, and i just now got into pvp. im about to get another account so i can try out the other 2 classes i havent made yet...and when the expansion comes out with new classes, i'll have slots for them. maybe guild wars just isnt your type of game....

Despite the apparent flamebait, the OP doesn't mention if the enjoyed the game the month he played. I mean so what, if someone plays for a month or a year.
I dunno I enjoy the game only in small amounts, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Buut I also like to play games through without help with one character...which makes me sorta a GW mutant.

You know, those guys are generally very young teenagers (14-15 yrs old) with behavioral issues and so fat that Israel's prime minister Ariel Sharon is skinny compared to them.
Looks like someone is in desperate need of World of Grindcraft here.
By the way, here's something that can help anyone writing stupid threads on forums. If anyone reading this has written or is writing an annoying, pointless post/thread somewhere, well, he should follow the link. It refers to another forum, but that doesn't make a difference, as it's a list of basic principles.
(I'm sure someone will say that my post is useless just for the sake of it.)

Considering that we are probably a good 3 or 4 months away from Chapter 2, I think it is a legitimate concern to think about what will happen to the game population in that time. And how many who left will return for Ch. 2? While the OP was probably trolling... I think it is a legitimate question to consider. Will there be enough people around over the next few months, and will enough come back to make things fun for Chapter 2?
Not all of us are content to just load up on henchmen all the time. Part of the game is working with and playing with other people. If that becomes impossible due to low server populations (and the ones left either being arrogant l33ts or noobs) the game just won't be worth playing anymore for some people.

I always find Topk full, ToA full, Ascalon full, and Pre-searing very crowded. I'm on the american servers. Frankly, I don't know what the hell are you guys talking about. You're auto-brainwashing yourselves, its my better guess.

My self all I do is lvl my Char help the guild farm for money if I need it. If anything else i jsut go hang with some friends and PvP. Take a break go do somthing else and dont play 24/7 for a month play it casually and take it as fun and not imma be the best ever sorta thing. Lvling will make u bored and farming. Not fun at all as i dislike it alot. there is alot more then lvling and getting power in games. The importance of these games is for fun and entertainment not just straining u eye's on a PC screen all night to get a lvl.
So take a chill pill, relax and have fun. Best i can tell u is that.
I myself only been playing 2 months and have 2 lvl 20's 1 set of 15k armor and a lvl 19 monk and lvl 5 ranger all forge armor of course. I have slowed down to chill and havefun. otherwise i would be bored. Over the alst 2 months i estimate i spent about 1mil on stuff by now. but hey garentee 300k of it atleast went to friends and my guild

Last time i fought Glint (3 month ago) i got her down to half health before she destoryed everyone in my group!... must get my revenge!

On Glint: I find the easiest class to defeat her with, if using henchies, is a Ranger - distract crystal hibernation and hope lina keeps on top of her protective spirit casting

For the past several weeks before halloween all I'd been doing on GW was occasionally tombs when enough people in my guild were online and competition arenas. When Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion came out I started playing that. But at Halloween I came on to get two of my characters pumpkin heads, and I farmed so much in Gates of Kryta to get Orr Emblems to get potions.(looking back I don't know why I wanted to get so many potions)Now, in the last half-week, I have come back to the game. I've been to FoW, I've done lotsa stuff with my necromancer in the desert where I had virtually abandoned her, and I've been doing loads of comp arenas with a cool earth ele build.
Definitely one of the things that has kept me playing GW is PvP. I havn't done GvG in about a month, and tombs in about two weeks. But I love testing builds in arenas.
I also love going to FoW - somehow going there so many times has never managed to bore me.
I also love the simple draw of the game, thats what made me go through most of the game with 3 characters. You just want to achieve.

Play this game? Phsaw, no way.
I like to log in and use it a prettyful chatroom where I grab my friends and go in PvE excursions, or occasional PvP matches. Think "MSN Games" Xtreme!!!
More seriously, it was great fun when it was 3 days a month, and it's still pretty darn fun. I have significantly cut down my playing from the first month, and am on a slowing exponential decline in playtime hours, but I still do have fun logging in occasionally, PvPing, farming just for the heck of it, chatting with friends or guildmates, whatever tickles my fancy at the moment.
I think I've gotten more than my money's worth out of Guild Wars thus far, playing about a nickle an hour, and the ratio of money spent vs time played is just going to go further down as I continue to enjoy the game at my own rate.

I still play but having trouble justifying it ATM. Not much more you can do. I had to resort to rebuilding my Farming w/mo just so i did something besides pvp or sit in grotto

The New Guy
Why do I still like playing GW after having 650+ hrs of game time?
It's because it's nice to sit down in front of my beautiful computer and play GW after a f***ing tiring day at work and school!! Why GW? Because, for me, this is the only game out right now that I like that gives off hot graphics and loooong hours of play time eventhough you've done it for lots, and lots, and lots of time already. I pve a lot 'cause pvp or gvg doesn't really cut it for me. If I feel like being competetive I play Halo 2 Online. If I wanna relax I play GW. One thing that really pisses me off is that we're not getting the favor as much as we used to.....call it greedy but c'mon! Europe and Korea are kicking our a**! (can I say ass here?)
Whenever I see that we don't have the favor every night I go online, there's only ONE question that pops in my head. Why, o why did they move the release dates for FF XII and Kingdom Hearts 2???

gwen haunts me day and night
she will not let me rest until i have found and returned to her a broken flute, a tattered cape and reunited her w/ her ghostly mom
i do pvp in arenas but the repetition usually gets boring. the most chanllenging thing left these days for me is to monk for any random UW pug. best are the ones who take the quest, aggro all the mobs while i save all their asses without dying. nothing like an ele who's smart enough (or too dumb) to run away while i help them tank w/ prot spirit/seed/breeze. more challenge involves groups who grab the unwanted quest immediately. no one ever does the fun unwanted/4 horseman/ice king quests anymore these days =(

Most of the top guilds have left, so of course in your minds they all must have been spirit spammers. It seems to be beyond your ability to comprehend that they might have left because PvP is stale and boring. If you're good at PvP now, so what? Being successfull at something only because your betters have moved on doesnt make you great.
By far the best PvP was in the beta's. The first 2 months or so after release was ok, but still far short of what it was in the last few beta's. When Air started to dominate things headed downhill a bit faster, and then when Spirits crowded out almost everything else the brakes overheated and the wheels came off the cart.
There used to be PvP guys, and carebears. The also used to be a bit of a war between them. The reason the war has mostly died down is because the PvP guys have mostly left. Now there are carebears and carebears who think they can PvP. It's sort of like when Siskel died, and Ebert replaced him with his new suck-up junior partner.
