I tend to find time to look through posts, post feedback, and create posts in my down time when I'm not with my wife or working. Several times in game and in posts I've seen people say how they've spent 900+ hours playing the game. Obviously some could be exaggerate the amount of hours played. But since I've had some spare time hears a little info for some laughs.

Game has been out approximately 2 months. For the sake of arguments I said 60 days.

If game was out 60 days this means:

Total possible hours of play = 1440

If you played 900 hours and take away from 1440
1440-900 = Only 540 hours left for 60 days

Average person sleeps about 6-8 hours a day.
6 x 60 = 360
8 x 60 = 480

If you played 900 hours and are left with 540 hours from a total of 1440
this means at most if you slept 6 hours you have 180 hours left for 2 months.

1440 (hours in 60 days) - 900 (game hours) = 540 (hours left)
540 (hours left) - 360 (sleep hours) = 180 (hours left in 2 months)

180 hours - eating, restroom breaks, and any chance of possible outside life.
180 / 60 = 3 hours

This mean you have 3 hours for each day for restroom breaks, food breaks, and any chance of a social life


I'm sorry if you've played that much, unless you're on disability for some good reason or you are one of a few extremely wealthy people. I think you need to step away from the computer and take a break rofl. That is kinda sad.

Just thought this would be some funny info for people to see.

Ok, assuming you go to the bathroom as fast as possible, that's about a cumulative 5-10 minutes a day?

I eat pretty damn fast, so that my parents demand that I sit at the dinner table an extra 10 minutes after I finish my meal. But let's pretend your parents are cool I don't eat breakfast either, but most people do. If you eat as fast as I do your maximum amount of time spent eating is 3 minutes for breakfast and 5-7 minutes for dinner and lunch (assuming you're not having a feast or banquet)

Social life? I'd rather play GW.

So that leaves about 2 hours and 35 minutes of non-GW free time. With that much time, you could add another 100+ hours to your /age OR you could go spend some time on the GWGuru forums!

Lemme guess, you have no life outside your home, such as a job. If you've spent 900+ hours playing GW since it's release, your parents should be taking your computer away from you so you can atleast get some exercise and remain healthy. Afterall, if you're on my team in the HoH, I don't want you suddenly going afk cause you've had a coronary. Granted with this past update, i'd get a bot if you lost connection, but at this point I'm not sure that would be a plus or a minus

Some of us are playing as much as we can to to be able to PvP. We were under the impression you'd be able to have a girlfriend, job and be in a competitive guild but boy were we wrong.

That's not teh game's fault, but rather the community's for believing that you have to have everything unlocked to do well. You don't have to be that copmetitive after all.

If you want to play only a certain class, it would take 1/6 of the time to "unlock everything"

ROFL. You got that damn right. If you've spent as much time as some people I've met have claimed, well damn they outta be put in a straight jacket and a white room. Don't get me wrong there are days where I could play a RPG type style game I love for hours. Most of the time though I have real life stuff to worry about and do. I was in college once I know you have a lot more time on your hands. Even with that said I also worked and wasn't a lazy ass rich kid. I worked hard and played hard. Maybe GW servers should go down for 2 days to see the kind of response they get from the addicted people with no life. I'd love to read forum topics then.

That is what World of Warcraft does every week - just go read those forums.

Were they perhaps counting beta hours?

Hang on April 28th (the 27th for presell buyers) was the release date and today is June 10th. Not even close to 60 days more like 45 days assuming they pre-bought. 45 x 24 = 1080. Which means they are so full of crap that their eyes are turning brown because that means that since april 27th they have only slept for about 4 hours per night and done nothing else, no eating, no peeing, no pooping, and no showering allowed.

Its the case of over exaggeration meets an under socialized human being who thinks it some type of achievement to claim that they have done nothing but play this game to that extent. Sad but hey everyone has to have some kind of a hobby I suppose and bragging about something that is nearly impossible to accomplish is theirs.
