Concerned mom's that want to keep an eye on their kids... I know they're behind this, they got Anet to implement a "whatch over your kids" feature into GW.

Lol.. ok that doesnt make sence xD .. does it?

but yeah it is rather retarded if you ask me... who wants to be reminded of the endless hours spent on gw?

RE: Great.... a health update? 

Apparently that's not uncommon for online games. I've been playing a bit of Lineage 2 and they give you the same message. "You have been playing for and extended period of time. Please consider taking a break."

I just think it's funny. :)

Well they might implement a feature like that, it would make sense especially for a free online game. It would free up alot of bandwidth for players that just stay AFK and so forth (and the pre mentioned mothers concern for their kids ^_^)

Hey guys! I got a swell idea! Let's all buy Guild Wars and NOT play it! w00t!

I'm guessing you can overcome this by switching characters, condsidering you must log out to do that.

RE: Great.... a health update? 

I sense a bit of hypocrisy here. They are gonna remind us every hour after a certain period, but then they give us things like the FoW, which takes about 7 hours, from what I've heard, to clear out. Something just doens't add up there.

FoW takes 4 hours. I think you mean UW, that takes about 7-12 hours to clear.

But yeah, I'll be using my elite skill 'Ignore'.

RE: Great.... a health update? 

Game makers have been adding this 'feature' to games since that korean gamer died from exaustion, this was probably added to Guild Wars after that Second gamer died the same way. Guess they're just watching their a$$e$.



QUOTE
Less than 10 days ago, a 24 year-old South Korean man died at an internet cafe in Kwangju, 260km outside Seoul, after playing continuously for 86 hours.


*edit make that the 3rd. No wonder they always have favor of the gods.

RE: Great.... a health update? 

I think the rule of thumb is that you should take a half hour break after ever two hours of gameplay. But who actually watches the time when they play anyway?
