Guild Wars 2

Hello all! I plan on attempting to set a record for the longest amount of time spent in WvWvW in a single GW2 session without logging out or leaving WvWvW, Staying active in the matchup the entire time.

My want to do this stemmed off of the current match up that my server (SoS) is in WvWvW and the recent world record set by an Australian businessman in CoD BO2

What are the communities thoughts?

as long as you dont have any responsibilties or commitments,
are suitably attired, fed and watered,
and have a pee bucket under the desk,
i dont see why not.

go for it.

Hah xD I imagine a lot of talk about pee buckets and other such things.

Make sure to drink enough water while playing or you might collapse.

Remember to eat, and don’t force it. GW2 had yet a death directly involving it, and I don’t think that’s a nice record to break!

Be careful, people have actually died trying to do this kind of stunt and it gives all of gaming the wrong kind of publicity.

Drink, eat, take vitamins and do take bathroom breaks. You’ll need a lot of stuff to keep you awake, don’t overdo it.

Are you going to be streaming it live? Would be cool to see!

I would stream if my computer could handle it. SoS is in T1 and sometimes im running at like.. 2 FPS.

if you want to do it well you will need a notary or some kind of lawyer and a doctor’s supervision.

If you drop dead can I have your stuffs? XD

Some one was going to say it so I dropped the question for humors sake
but really take it easy and don’t kill yourself and good luck on the record.

How long exactly was the world record?

Is this actually official?

Do you have to have someone watch you as you play?..

I’m going for a different record. Possibly to set a new one. And it is going to be official. I submitted my App to the GWR Website and am waiting on approval.

Even with that there is still a limit. You can die from not sleeping. And generally not a good idea to not sleep for a very extended time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_deprivation, http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/important-sleep-habits. I can personally tell you when I was in my early 20s after staying awake for over 48 hours straight I experienced the following symptoms of sleep deprivation and they lasted for two days from there. I can only assume that two full nights rest allowed my body to recover enough for them to have gone away.

aching muscles
confusion, memory lapses and loss
depression
hallucinations
hand tremors
headaches
malaise
sensitivity to cold
periorbital puffiness, commonly known as “bags under eyes” or eye bags
increased blood pressure
increased stress hormone levels
irritability
nystagmus[disambiguation needed] (rapid involuntary rhythmic eye movement)
yawning

Make sure you have HEALTHY food around you.

Also, you need to stand up for about 2 minutes every half-hour, don’t be afraid to stretch.

Plenty of water.

And don’t forget to record. Make sure your computer connection is super reliable…would suck to BSoD.

Make sure there are no new builds during your attempt…that would be a horrible way to finish.
