If people are irresponsible enough to play for such extended periods of time that it damages their health, they’re also irresponsible enough to disregard advice telling them not to.

I thought there was gonna be a story here <.< 16 hours awake is pretty much daily for me. The danger isn’t the lack of sleep, but not moving at all because it creates blood clots in the legs. Dehydration can become an issue too. Long as you’re standing/moving every two hours I think it is, playing extensive hours won’t kill you.

Embrace the neckbeard.

Don’t forget the fedora, stupid. :smiley:

I believe my longest was 48 hours, it was very shortly after that mark though. I literally couldn’t keep my eyes open. Haven’t done that since, didn’t feel very good I’ll say that much.

27

Y’all are way more hardcore than me. I don’t think I’ve ever went over 12 hours.
:dizzy_face:

I did do some disgusting things in my youth to keep playing for a long time. Things I can’t even post on the forums. But it definitely wasn’t healthy.

I suppose the silver lining is, fast forward 15+ years from when I started and I’m a married working man with twins. I have a lot more important things that keep me from sleeping now! :rofl:

Yea, I think I did 20 hrs on, 4 hrs sleep, 20 hrs on, 4 hrs sleep, 20 hrs on.

Then about 14 hours sleep.

I sat right next to a window, and stood up every few hours. Still managed to find sexy times with the significant other during very long flight times.

15 years later, married to the SO with 2 kids. Figured they were a keeper, lol.

So, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was three 18-20 hours of running BGs randomly.

Not this time lol.

27 hours was my longest. I was camping for Aeonaxx through a good chunk of it and the mfer never spawned. I don’t want to admit how long I waited for that dragon and never got him… :frowning:

34

LOLOL. 16 hours is NOTHING.

You know NOTHING of the dark side of the force and the unlimited power that it gives!

takes 4 day weekend and goes on 2 36 hour long benders back to back.

I have a strong feeling like you’re an incredibly responsible and doting person in real life.
