If it was a RNF, I would have posted it there ya moran. I was actually curious and simply wanted to ascertain what allows people to game the amount they want to. I for one, am not criticizing anyone for how much time they put into something they enjoy doing. Hell, your mom would rather have you playing 16+ on EQ than selling crack on the corner.

Take for example: my old raid leader was on the clock basically 24/7. Everytime I logged on, no matter what time of the day, he/she was on. 3am repop? No problem. Like, I can't even do that because I have a job, but if I didn't and had time to play EQ more, I probably would. So I wanted to know how these people achieve this.

I think it is safe to say that if many of us here didn't have the RL responsibilities that we do, we'd be rotting away in our computer chairs chasing dragons. Some people just have a harder time accepting that others are in a position to do just that and they are not.

How is that any different than trying to eat at a resturaunt you enjoy and being disgusted by the 300lb+ fatty and his family racing each other to a heartattack?

Wife makes good money and supports my gaming.

Work opposite shifts to my partner , both nurses
18 month son who loves watching spiderlings and fire beetles and shouting HOT HOT HOT at the fires around shady swashbuckler , im online mostly afk to use EQ as a pacifier when he throws a tantrum, because he likes to see the different creatures, animals and creepy crawlies

So , im online an awful lot , but mainly only sat at the desk when my son is asleep ! /AFK is on alot!

That's my story !

Wait, playing 16+ hours daily isn't normal?

[Ennewi]

Insomnia.

16 hours straight, of anything even EQ, is too hardcore for my blood though. 6-8 hours is usually when I start to wimp out.

[Derubael]

24 hrs in a day = 8 hrs of work and 16 of EQ.

I don't see the problem. These people are doing it right.

Serious question. What RL obligations or lack thereof do you have that gives you the allotted time to play video games?

Are you a student? Millionaire with no bills? Self employed? Work from home? Permanently disabled?

I'm pretty sure a good portion of the player base has a job and/or kids, but for everyone else what is it? So curious to know.

from what i've noticed of people whom i have leveled up with who have mostly joined either TMO or FE is they're on unemployment, L&I, disability, living with a family member, or collecting retirement checks. Only one of them i knew of had a wife, he seemed to get as much shit by his wife as i got from my gf.
