When I type /played on all my 9 characters I see just in days , they are in game days. 659 in game days. Who’s next?

Are they? I always thought they were in real life days. So if you see >365 days, you pretty much spent a year logged in to WoW.
This is correct.

Agreed. I refuse to run this command.

Yeah…I’d rather not know.

I wish WoW had a better stats command than played.
I want to know the exact day or at least month and year that a given character was created. I know at least at one time Blizzard kept information like this given one of the old account recovery questions involved telling the support staff the name of the oldest character on your account that you could remember.

I’ve been playing for 1 year but it says here that I’ve only played 48 days.
Time on wow is bad enough, I can only imagine how high it is if I include all the old MMOs I used to play. I used to have xfire installed which tracked the time played on a bunch of games. I have a lot of time logged over the years starting with Ultima Online. It’s frightening to think about it after all these years. Sometimes I wonder if I wasted way to much time playing these games.

It only counts the time you are logged in. So you have spent 48 days of time in-game.
More than I am willing to admit to.
I think this character alone is on about 700 days at this point?
Hard to count my alts, because I used to faction/realm change a ton but I’d never move my alts, I’d just relevel them, so I’ve got a million tank alts with 20-50 days floating around on my account.
Between all mine sitting at around ~50 days in total. Not as long as I’d imagined.
I know my /played is incredibly misleading, because it’s super high… but that’s also because of how I play.
Pretty much 90% of my game time is: log in… get called away for something.
Come back… play for 1 min, called away for 20 min.
Come back… play for 1 min, called away for 20 min.
So if I have 900 days played, like… only 400 of that is actually playing Warcraft. The rest is just technically being “logged in.” But since I never know how long I’m going to be afk, I never actually log out, it makes more sense to just leave my chr there waiting.
I know Blizzard metrics don’t care about that, but I know I do. lol

In 2004, I could be totally man cave and not emerge for days
Now, I have 47 mini apocalypses needing my attention within the hour.

When you break 2000… it’s a special moment… of slight depression.
