What about GW2?

I was waiting for someone to come in this thread and mention GW2.

Every thread, doesn't matter what the topic is, someone has to do it.

Yep, my signature pic isn't enough, people must know about GW2! :D

Yea I don't understand the hype either, all they're doing is reading a lot of info. on the games, watching/reading interviews and watching lots of gameplay videos, talking about certain features they are looking forward to e.g. underwater battles in GW2.

Obviously you know so much more by just watching a couple of videos....Please, elighten us further.

I've always been an MMO lover and have played many in the past. I'm only in my early 20s so, so far in life I've always simply been in full-time education, where pretty much I've always had enough time to dedicate 15+ hours a week playing my favourite games. I'm finally graduating at the end of this year and hopefully will be able to find myself a trainee accounting job.

So what seems to be stuck in my head is that in my future if I've working 40+ hours a week and maybe hopefully having a wife and kids, will it be worthwhile playing MMOs? With most you need to spend quite a while maxing the level of your character before you can indulge the end game experience.

So what approach do you guys who are in that position take? Do you play the MMOs which are designed for casual players perhaps, or just play an MMO you enjoy but you know you'll never fully enjoy the game because you don't have enough time to play them. Or am I just talking gibberish because there is always enough time to play MMOs even with a really busy life?

 

  I was worried a few years back when I was moving on to a full time job. But I was in a great guild and had a bunch of friends so we would work around people's work schedule for raids and such. And the days one of us couldn't be online we always had a character or 2 that we leveled just with each other. If you are playing a game you truley enjoy then the speed of leveling won't be much of a concern. And if you get aggro from the wifey just give her the boot.. j/k :) :)

Haha, fair enough bud. I'm really  enjoying these responses, looks like I'll have absolutely nothing to worry about :)

@OP

Trolling is just purposely being a ****

Fanboism at least someone has a passion for the game, they don't say a product is great which really isn't, just for the pointless sake of it. it's just that they're big fan of the brand. If you are worried about the potential misleading info. just find a legitamate source, e.g. if a new MMO has come out, in about a week you'll be able to access a good 5 half-decent reviews on the game.

Sure. It is possible to still play mmorpg. Well unless you HAVE to be first , best , keep up with young players ,etc  then you might not see sense in playing anymore.
 
I don't understand that behaviour , but well that's just me.
 
I just play at my own pace, I have less time so it take me more days/weeks/months to get certain things than many other players that have more time, but then. So what?  They spend more time, more dedication (cause they have less rl things to take care of) ,etc so they get those thing sooner. 
That IS normal and I have no problem with that whatsoever.
 
I recently relized that there is bunch of working players who are somewhat unhappy cause youngsters/unemployed/etc 'progress' more and faster than them in mmorpg and they resort to even spend alot of money to keep up with them.
I find this ridiculous and just silly. Why would grown working adult spend his hard earned money to get as high numbers in video game as soon as some teenager?

So who are you to say what folks are supposed to do with THEIR hard earned money? As long as folks enjoy themselves that's what matter. Their reasons for doing this are theirs and theirs alone. Also, maybe they dont do this because they are unhappy but simply because.... THEY CAN!

I realy dislike how some folks are just jumping to conclusions about other people gameplay and gamestyle. How about you game and let game?

Hmm I suppose one may buy an account as a quick solution, but tbh kinda screws up the sense of achievement but some people are just like that.

You're going to be an accountant and you expect to have time to play games?  Get a grip!  Companies seriously abuse first and second year accountants because you must have 2 years well-rounded experience to even think about taking your CPA exam.  So, unless you live in SmallTown USA and your Uncle Bob owns the local CPA firm you hope to work for, that has a grand total of 25 clients who don't need much done, you can expect to be working 60-70 hour weeks and maybe even more during tax season.  You won't be seriously playing any mmos for a while.

Well I've studied accounting in my domicile, England, accountants here just update the cashbook once in while and maybe check invoices for mistakes when we can be asked. Lol just joking, I may not have to do that many hours but for my first few years I'll be a trainee accountant and I'll have to work my way up to get a better wage, it's a tough job and if I want to become a chartered accountant I have to have a legitamate 2 years experience where my employer tells the proffesional board that I was a decent employee, and I have to do some ridiculously tough proffesional exams :(

Check this one out.

So in a nutshell, right now I'm studying, this time next year, I'll be working and studying lol

Thanks guys, nice to see everyone's two cents on this topic. I think it'll all depend on how I structure my spare time, and I'll most likely casually play my favourite MMO when I get the chance. Tbh, so what if I can't play the amount I'm used to, I've spent enough hours playing MMOs to last me a lifetime anyway :D

Very intellenligent guy. He knew that the mast majority of people are so incredibly stupid that they'd pay so much for a product just to make their lives a tiny bit easier.

I'd imagine I have a sandwitch in my hand and eat that :D

Interviews are probably the most pain in the butt part of applying for a job. The difficulty of the interview depends on:-

Easy-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hard

Type of Job:

Cleaner at McDonalds                                                                               Manager role at a bank

Competition:

Not many competing candidates                                                               Loads of candidates

They don't have much xp and you're max level                                        Opposite

 -                                                                                                                Your fellow candidate is the interviewers friend/relative

Something you can't control:

Your interview likes what you're saying                                                     You might be saying good stuff but the interviewer                                                                                                                     loves other strengths

Basically the generic advice for interviews are AVOID cliches, be a good version of yourself and give examples of when you exels at a hard task etc. Sugar coated stuff like you are the most interpersonal person in the world is the same s*** the interviewer has heard a million times over. End of the day, you're competing for a job 99% of the time, so it's not about being an ultra awesome candidate, t's about being a better than you're fellow potential employees.

Btw, I've never had a job in my life and I have an interview tomorrow for a job at a bowling place......lol
