Total time played with a screenshot!

[Painstorm]

My main is at 270 days played.
But since I play a lot of alts, the total played time is 1031 days (from Altoholic addon) :P
And that is without counting the chars that have been deleted along the way.
A lot of time, but I got no regrets whatsoever

[Usandu]

Still a noob guys, much playing before me to reach some of your levels :P

[Regalbeast]

I've built up a lot of time over 13 years.

Wow. That's basically 20% of your time over the last 13 years spent on wow.

[Re4leader1]

860 days?! My god... props to you mate for sticking by 1 class for so long. I get to about 10 days before I'm ready to refill a new main

[Usagi Senshi]

From the fact you're on a gaming forum, I fear you may have failed that goal already


Is anyone else confident at-least 50% of their 'played time' was spent afk?

Definitely, I've left the game on and walked away A LOT since 2005, or using it as a tabbed out chat room. Also, sharing my account with my cousin sometimes.

[kraid]

Does that addon altholic combines the total time played of every character?
I'm at work now but the most I played was my paladin main on wrath (which now I barely touch) around 180 days I think, when I get home I'll post an accurate number.

Edit: It turns out I was wrong, Only have 89 days on my paladin, but I have 238 days played between multiple characters in 3 diferent servers.

[Deleted]

So yeah 861 days, 20 hours, and 36 mins :P

That's 4+ hours per day *every single fucking day* for 13+ years.
You live your life like you want dude, I'm not judging, but holy shit that is lot of videogaming, especially if you have a normal day job for 8 hours, family and kids like you say...

Have you ever considered that you might be suffering from unhealthy addiction?

I've played actively since Vanilla, but my main is barely breaking 300d even with alts combined I'm not over 500d

[McNeil]

It doesn't seem so surprising now whenever people defend the game from every poor decision :P

[Velshin]

Out of interest, when did you start playing WoW and have you taken any breaks from content?

Last time I did a calculation I had 551 days played on all characters, but have taken breaks, even sometimes when my sub has been running. I just did a quick calculation and when not including in game payments such as character transfers, it has cost me around about £1070 since I started playing in 2006.

This means its cost me just short of £2 a day, rounding to 8 pence an hour to play this game. Triple A games, if you are lucky you might get as much as 20 hours at nearly £3 an hour.

Tell me WoW isn't worth it. Best grand I ever spent.

Thanks a lot for asking man.


I started playing during vanilla WoW classic during patch AQ40 which is Jan 2006 with the same paladin character but of course it was a human (even back then I loved blood elves and was surprised they didn't put them in vanilla).

Yeah what made me having a lot of played time is because I rarely play any alts ( I have a lot of alts but I treat them nothing but a slaves for my main paladin :P). And I didn't take any break at all. Sometimes I only play during the weekend because of real life issues and stuff but like stopping my subscription? I never done it.

Thanks for your consideration but no I am thank god totally fine. The thing is I have been video gamer since like late 80s and early 90s and the good part that most of my entire family are video gamers as well.

Video gaming is kinda a culture in the family. These days I can't play as much as I used to be yeah because you know being married and with children but still I play a lot above the normal average still.

[Sastank]

I had 2 chars before end of BC that were 200+ days. I've been through 3 accounts. Unlucky. :'( I wish I could post my original nolife status.

[Drusin]

better then having wasted nearly 3 years and ALOT more money following a hobby like warhammer or getting drunk or watching tv like game of thrones or breaking bad

That always blows my mind, people will talk shit about me playing wow all day and then they'll watch netflix all day or smoke pot or get drunk or [insert anything not productive]

[Ealyssa]

there goes ur life. i hope it was fun.
personally i hope at the end of my life i wont have wasted nearly 3 years gaming in total.

Having fun is wasting your life ?

Interesting concept

Everything in life is wasted time. You think you're special? You're not.

You're gonna rot in few decades like every.other.single.human. out there, and no matter how great, humanity will forget or not care who you were.

Why should he?

If I go to sleep at 12am to be up at 8 to be at work at 9 and get off at 5 I still have 7 hours of free time, 4 of which would be spent gaming

Got a new computer and haven't got all my addons on it yet so I only included my 110s. Got 40 toons 100+ and I didn't feel like logging on all of them. I think it comes to like 1040 days or something like that.

[cipp]

There's mine. way too much wow since 2004

[OokOok]

This thread is flawed, anyone who played Van/TBC/WOTLK like myself will know why. 80% of your time was spent afking in Org/Shat/Dal I have 800 days played and I can honestly admit a solid 200 days is probably afking in a hub

[Shadowsgrace]

Last I checked, My Main (started in 2007) now is up to 660+ days, with my closest alt (started in LK) is 180+ days. I think my Combined total play time of my alts are something like 1250+ days. No Lifer and Proud of it.

Flawed.... for you maybe, but I was always doing something, and never AFK'ed longer than it takes one to Bio, or grab something to eat and drink. If I was going to be AFK for more than 10-15 min... I'd log out.

Except if you have kids, that's not really how your sleep and work patterns look. You wake early, make breakfast, drop them off daycare, you get them from daycare, you cook them food, you clean the house, you wash their clothes, you drive them to practice, you do homework with them. And then you probably have a spouse - and you should probably spend some time together? .. and maybe some friends occasionally? Or some other hobbies... or other games..

.. I mean sure, I'm not judging how people live their lives, but 4+ hours of WoW (one game) every day for 13 years in a row? You don't think that's a lot?
... and looking at your online time... I guess it's not. Wow.

Same here. I log on - do some stuff, raid, run a dung - then I log off and do something else. If anyone wants to ping me, we've always had out-of-game methods (IRC in early days, Discord these days).
