No lifer question

I use to live in a sewer. Now I live in a mud hut. So, that’s a definite improvement.

If you turn em’ inside-out they’re good for another another 2 days, at least. < Sniff. > Yeah. I’m good for today.

Does chasing down human prey count?

Where does “murder-hobo” fall on the spectrum?

My girlfriend is 7 feet tall, into zombies, and possibly a cannibal. She’s a keeper.

Depends on the person and their life. It depends on if your drive to play WoW makes your drive to do everything else diminish into nothingness or not. I have a hard time focusing on keeping in shape while I’m WoW-obsessed, for example. If I start to gain weight I know I’m playing too much. Get in touch with your own mental/physical/emotional health and when you’re hurting it.

I mean… hey, at least your moving. If you have ice cream, ya gotta eat it, so might as well be during WoW.

By definition “no life” is never healthy. Doing one thing to the exclusion of all else is never good.

You will know you have been playing too long when it hurts to make a fist. At that point you will need to wear a brace until you can afford the carpal tunnel surgery.

I think the general idea is when it starts having a negative impact on your own life responsibilities and personal health.

I’d say 2 hours at a time with a break to do RL stuff, no more than 6 hours total per day.

It’s not only not too healthy, that’s a massive burnout waiting to happen.

I do 2 hours a morning to get my daily grind done and weekly quests finished along the way. 1 or 2 hours at lunch to run my bg’s for the 2 daily anima bonus wins. 1or 2 hours at night for instances and/or complete weeklies.

Everything in moderation. :slight_smile:

Tbh if you’re stuck in quarantine, no job, etc, with quite literally nothing else to do playing WoW all day isn’t horrible as long as you go out every few hours for a walk and some exercise.

You should take a break every hour for 15 mins or so for the sake of your eyes, and ofc make sure you’re not over eating and that you’ve got good sitting posture. I really recommending getting a sitting to standing desk and alternating between sitting and standing every hour as it’s much better for your back.

Ofc if you have other things you could be doing to better yourself (school, studying, online certifications, freelance work, etc) you absolutely should be prioritizing that.

But then who am I to say?

I have my alarm clocking waking me up at midnight and at 6am to ensure I keep running my heroes through the command table missions lol…

I wish we could enable this feature in western retail tbh.

You would make quite a few madbois that have nothing else going on in life, if that happened.

Although it would be interesting to see in terms of efficiency by playtime restriction who ends up winning in a race for raid opening.

I tend to spend 4-8 Hours everyday, sometimes 10 on rest days but I try not to go past that, I used to be more hardcore but 12+ just seems unhealthy , I do hand exercises during afk times. Quarantine honestly hasn’t been good to me so I have played a bit more lately. I work from home though so I can make my own hours usually

I mean as an optional feature, specifically for people who are addicted and parents.

I play about a hour around the daily reset (10am EST) and do my fishing and cooking dailys on all my characters. Some days it takes 20 minutes total or maybe a little longer then a hour depending how far apart the quests are.

Then I take a break and finish listening to The Dan Patrick show on my satellite radio until noon.

Then it is time for lunch and a little TV. A nap follows usually.

Some days I play from 3pm to about 6pm, then dinner and a little more TV.

I log on about 7:30pm and play till Midnight. Then it is nap time again.

I do the same thing everyday except Sundays, when I only do my dailys.

TLDR: I play about 9.5 hours each day except Sundays.

They’ve had it for years, like I can remember a friend having it all the way back in TBC. Maybe even vanilla. Hell he says his account still had the parental lock on it. There is no time constraint anymore (he regularly disabled that by digging into the parent’s email), but he can’t access the store.

I think back then you could budget which hours of the day (and full week) you could play, or you could put in a flat budget that once used at any point throughout the week would lock you out of your account.

And yes I remember him getting quite mad when it happened while we were in a dungeon.

How the heck do people whisper or mail your toon btw, the hell is that name even?

I made it myself (both that exist) and sat on it for 3ish years until I decided to use it as a funposter on the forums.

Il-e-dark-i-dank, basically.

The perfect edgy condescending name for a havoc dh.
