Just about 366.5 hours over the last 8 months comes out to about 1.5 hours a day. Sounds about right.

I play about 5 hours a day. Sometimes it's 10 hours, sometimes it's 0 hours. And yes, I do have a life, and school, friends and all the crap that normal (according to these so called "normal" people) people do, though, I love my computer, and I won't stop playing it just because they say I don't have a life, which they seriously do.

And Lilith, probably 50% of your play time hsa to be afk'ing, since you can't really play 14 hours a day.

I started playing Apr 26th, so roughly 229 days have passed, and I'm at 1040 hours. So about 4 and a half hours per day. I also never afk/leave my client running so that's pretty accurate.

At least we haven't really seen any Guild wars related deaths yet.

And that's probably a good thing

I remember that. Is this comment refering to the death from exhaustion while playing D2?

I've played 122 hours over 33 days (haven't had game long). That works out at about 3.6 hours a day. Funny, my Necro has 107 of those hours :P

lets see got the game during summer sometimes stayed up late...and mostly falling asleep at my laptop... mm im estimating last time i did /age and im at school so many 1300+ hours over 5 -6 months..and sometimes i leave the game running and just talk on ventrillo..or do other things around the room.


like make *shot pretty* , OA better be reading, only they get it

mmmm and my ranger has the most EXP.. 1 mil+ cause i solo trap UW which is 250 i think per kill of an axe squids dont remember plus they are 10 k quests.

the time.. get home like 3:15 and whenever i end or leave the game running around 11 pm...bed time..

plus i really dont do homework cause taking no AP classes nothing takes up my time..unless im out of the house with friends..other than that free time..or chewing my fingers out on the electric guitar

1030 hours played, sounds about right since over past 7 monthes there has been a total of 5040ish hours.

1200 hours of school (6 hours + 2 hours of practice during weekdays)
1260 hours or 6 hours of sleep per night
1533 hours of free time/studying or 7.3 hours per day.

I guess you could see an average of 4.9 hours a day as alot, but when no friends around and nothing to study for I would just end up watching television or doing something else meanighless anyways, so I might as well be ripiing some Charr a new one. *shrugs*

And I suppose all of my play/free time would be sucked into the blackhole that is relationships, but I dumped her for Alesia.

-> Do you do a lot of other things besides just play through quests and missions like farming or helping other guild members out to account for some of that time?
Char levels: 7x20,19,2x11,10,7 and 4 (on 3 accounts) Finished the game 7 times, lvl 19 is about to ascend, rest are in LA or closer to Ascalon from there.

Account 1: 6.22hrs/day (7 months)
Account 2: 7.07 hrs/day (3 months)
Account 3: 2.66 hrs/day (47 days)
That would mean 15.88hrs/day for last 47 days!!! I need fresh air... now.

And I do a lot of everything but PvP and runs... I do missions, help friends and other people, farm and just hang around chatting.

1,489 hours, 58 minutes over 8 months.

I wonder what the average number of hours is for watching TV for 8 months. Upon reflection, I wish I had spent the time finding a cure for cancer, helping the infirm and bringing joy to world. All that said it has been a lot of fun mindlessly killing things.

I know I need a life when I am shopping for food and see charcoal for sale and think to myself "Wonder what I can craft with that..."
