Is 2 hours a night enough?

in Guild Wars
I've played with a couple of other MMOs a little bit. They weren't for me and I'm flirting with trying this one. My concern though is can someone be a casual player with this game and still enjoy themselves? Is the community casual friendly? I don't want to join a guild only to end up finding things won't be a good fit because I only want to limit myself to two hours/night. Otherwise I get too addicted. ><
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
Guild Wars is still an MMO.

One of the things I'm really looking forward to is being able to casually play and not feel like I'm wasting money. I've never played a MMORPG before, largely due to the monthly fees. I'm mostly a FPS, but I've really enjoyed the BWE's and plan to buy this title.
Playing casually, I expect it to take quite a bit longer for me to 'level up' than some of my counterparts, but the nice thing is you can always ask for help completing a particular mission or what not. You may want to check out wolfgaming.net. It's a gaming site I've belonged to for awhile and we'll rebuild our guild when the game comes out. It's a casual environment, not at all clan-ish. We emphasize team play and having fun.

This is from an interview with Jeff Strain who is a co-founder of Arenanet:
"At the same time, I do believe that the vast majority of gamers prefer a game that has depth as well as accessibility and immediacy. For me personally, my gaming time often comes in one hour or thirty minute chunks, so I want to be able to get something done in that time and have fun doing it. I don't want to lay the groundwork for future fun by, say, chopping wood for six hours. With Guild Wars we're really striving for that style of play, and I think that's very important for the MMORPG genre. I think there are a lot of people out there who like the idea of an MMORPG but don't like the execution, and that's the group that Guild Wars is aiming for."

2 hours a day is good, but for me to get satisfy with the game
I need to play at least 4-6 
hours daily, since I have many interest for mmorpg games, thisl will be my first one and im planing to be one of the best players
, practice makes the master 
Yay a challenge from my enemies
finally I will have some competition, BUHAHAHAH 
if you plan to play 2 hours daily watch your back because i'll be unstopable playing 4-6 hours daily 
with my....
I hope you have mastered the force young Jedi..or die trying
2 hours a day is fine, casual gameplay is fine. Being in a guild for guild wars though, will let you participate in the guild battles and all the "GOOD" stuff in the game. This is coming from a PVP player. I like both PvE and PvP, but honestly if you wanna get the most out of the game join a guild and play whenever you can.
