How do you support yourself while playing so much?

[webrunner5]

I am retired, so lots of time. Social Security and 2 pensions make it happen.

Here's my advice;
1) I don't let my employer sap me of life, I do my time and I'm out
2) I play at night, which for me is offpeak, so I need to find either active groups or people to duo with. Don't be afraid to send out tells asking people around your level range to group
3) if you're primarily playing offpeak times, think about choosing a class that can either port or has run speed buffs; both will reduce travel time

What I really want to know is how those in bat phone guilds do not manage to mess up their lives/health when they might have to work in 3 hours after a 4:30 AM raid.

I work 40 hours a week. I simply can't play during US primetime, because that's when I sleep. If I really wanna make a raid, like sky (usually) or Efreetis (rarely), I'll take the sleep debt and only get like 5 hours of sleep. It sucks, but I do that way less since it definitely takes a toll on your body. I play like 5 hours a day. That's enough to attend the majority of raids, surprisingly.

Have multi characters you bought camped out at raid targets, then laugh when people have to actually take the time to move to the location since account trading is banned for reasons unknown.
