A player can become immersed in WoW’s huge world. There are tons of things to do, places to go, and quests to do. And in effect a player can lose track of time. In effect becoming lost in Wow’s alternate reality. I am curious to know just how much time do people invest in playing WoW?
The /played time on just my main is 219 days, 17 hours, and 53 minutes. I have probably a fourth of that on four other characters. So my total game time for the last 20 years is probably just north of 500 days which works out to 12,000 hours.
When I first started playing wow I played until 2:00 am. Game was new and exciting. Now I play for maybe half hour per day. If that.
It’s hard to say. In the course of 20 years I’ve probably created and deleted close to 300 characters and I am still playing at least four very actively. If I had to take a guess as to the total number of hours based solely on my main character, I would say I’m probably somewhere near 9500 hours in this game so roughly 450 hours per year, which works out to about 8-9 hours a week.
When I was a kid with no responsibilities, I’d no-life this game.
Easily 8-hour sessions or longer.
These days, I am lucky if I get to play for 2 hours or more.
I still play a decent amount, just not close to what it used to be.
Game isn’t new anymore, and thus a lot of the same activities don’t create as much dopamine as before.
I don’t check my time played anymore.
I have known a few people over the years that suffer from some chronic conditions and disabilities that leave them unable to work and they play wow pretty much 40-80 hours a week.
I can’t manage to squeeze in much more than 10 a week these days.
With 2 monitors, sometimes I leave myself logged into WoW all day, but I don’t actually do anything. It’s like a virtual chat in that sense.
Sometimes I’ll walk into a Delve and I end up watching Youtube for 2 hours while sitting AFK logged in.
If you checked on me everyday you’d think I’d be 710 ilvl by now, but I’m only 696 and I’m like 40 points from 2k. Just taking my time, smelling the roses.
Pres Evokers in my bracket, the good ones were all 2k last week. So everyone above rank 20 (I’m 20) was 2k last week.
Oh nevermind, I dropped to 28. I suck.
