let's be fair to the guy, we probably would all enjoy some of this madness for a tiny while.. but yeah, i think you can aim for 8h sleep and 2h break per day for going out to the grocery store, speak to real people, come back home take a shower and cook something. then the other 14h you can play EQ i guess. but 20h/day just doesn't sound fun at all :( take care.

(also, i am not your father and do whatthefuckever you want. thank you.)

Really apprecciated all your advices. It's since 2000/2001 i dont play intensively a game, maybe i get bored after few hours but this is my vacation!
But answering my question...noone want to duo/trio with me?

24 hours day 1, 16-18 hours every day after for the first week.

People in Korea have literally died doing this. They found a guy dead in a cyber cafe from exhaustion. Weirdly because he was so often seen in there and was known to nap there rather than go home they ignored the body for a fair bit :|

ADDITIONAL: Im jealous you CAN do this though :)

I plan to play probably 3-4 hours on Sunday nights and maybe 2 hours on Thursday mornings. So, all in, 5-6 hours a week. If I maintain at that rate, I fully expect to never get a guise or a manastone because they'll get removed before I reach level 30.

DAMN, this fast log out ate my post again. GRMPF

i wanted to say:

Much playing has to wait just after 30. oktober.
The first weekend of green i have to clean up a garage i have with some friends for our Vespas.
We got a dismissal and that weekend we taking everything out with a truck.
So bad luck for me.
But from the wednesday after it i have 4 days off.
So i will try to live like i did 18 years ago on Vallon Zek.
Cellar and gaming and sleeping (not that way i did in the old days, but enough to get the good-old-days-feeling)

I so can't await to start.
I am a bit afraid everybody level away and there will be not groups after a few days but probably there will be enough player that will not grind through.

I will probably be playing a ton the weekend it launches. Likely 14-16 hours a day on saturday and sunday. During the week I will probably get 4-6 hours in after work. Will probably slow down after that.

This is why Dark Elves are the master race.

What an accomplishment it will be to get to 50 a few days before everyone else who has already done it 25 times!

But imagine all of the sweet gear you will be able to get, to replace with something better that will take more of a grind that you will forever (or until you replace that with something better from the next raid).
