Endrance.1680 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hello, Devs. I know Guild Wars 1 is all but a memory for most, and for some an experience never had, but there is a player who is quintessential to the game. Shiro Descendant has been standing, relentlessly, in Ascalon for YEARS, in the same place next to a rock. He is perpetual; I cannot say I have ever seen him log out. The man deserves a statue, his cat ears cosmetic included. Do the right thing. Do what needs to be done. Immortalize this legend with a statue. Log in. You'll see him. He will greet you with the kindest of words. 2 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I don't know if getting rewarded for never logging off of an online game sets the right signals in health-aware 2022 though. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Never heard of the guy and like Lohk I'm not sure never ever logging off is necessarily a good thing, particularly in a game that goes out of its way to ask you to log off when you've been on too long. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Does he do anything, or does he just log in and afk there? Players who are frequently seen in the same areas can have a big impact on a game's community, but for that to happen they need to do something. Even the ESO player Sleeps-On-Bridges, who does exactly what it sounds like, would also chat to and interact with other players. Just staying logged in isn't really an acomplishment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh lol yeah. Always hit me in the face when the game said. You've been playing for 5 hours. Please take a break. A little moment of... ugh what am i doing with my life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then it's not hard to be afk in a town. I can't remember if GW1 kicks you for inactivity in towns but even if it does it would be easy to set something up to click through some menus or move slightly every so often to stop it. It's even possible to set a computer up to restart the game if it crashes and log you back in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If there was kicking, players wouldn't park their characters for Nine Rings during Festivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westii.5489 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Give that Assasin his statue! He is not just afk - he is frequently looking at chats and comments them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
