I just finished Guild Wars: Prophecies. It took me 19.5 years.
I created my first character way back when the game was new, but I never finished the campaign. The upcoming Reforged update got me interested again. Together with a friend and 3 very friendly strangers we played through the remaining 3 missions.
From boss tactics to tounge-in-cheek comments about the dated cutscenes It was just the perfect MMO game night for me.

Screenshot of Guild Wars. A character is standing on a beach. In the background is a tent and some rock formations. The name tags of two dozen other players can be seen. 
The chat window is showing the following text in green: "You have played this character for 222 hours 1 minute over the past 234 months. Across all characters, you have played for 299 hours 3 minutes over the past 234 months. You have been in this map for 10 minutes."

#WritersCoffeeClub Nov 28: In what ways do you see yourself reflected in your own work?
In one novel I've written, I based my main character on what I imagine I would have been like if not for the trauma of my childhood. He came out as very successful, but also extremely arrogant and entitled — not a likeable person.
