For those who have 16+ hour daily play times

[Gel Mibson]

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.

[Locust]

my guess is unemployed

[sulpher01]

Who here plays 16 hours a day?

[Lamil]

On weekends? Me

[lecompte]

On weekends? Me

Friday: I get off work at 1 PM PST, I play/drink until 3AM or so.
Saturday: Wake up at 8-9AM, go for a 2 hour bicycle ride. Come home and play EQ until 2 AM.
Sunday: Wake up at 9AM, play EQ until 11PM bedtime.

I try REALLY hard to hang out with friends during the work week. I meet up with a diff friend or family member every day for lunch.

[tizznyres]

Where's the "living the dream" option?

[Pringles]

[Enxienty]

My playtimes are limited due to my age / goals but think about it this way majority of p99 is older population, people who really have a job and then the rest of the time free to themselves

There's people who also work from home, and people who just prioritize this game more then anything else

[Bill Tetley]

cushy desk jobs in a private office.

Self employed?

[Lamil]

[coki]

[Lojik]

Some people may be online for 16 hours but at the computer for far less.

[ShivanAngel]

[lecompte]

You guys really have nothing better to accomplish on your days off then EQ?

Like thats your life? work and EQ?

srsly?

Don't be a hater :eek:

When I'm sitting a camp, I have audio triggers that make noise when I need to be back at my desk to kill the next pop so I'm cleaning, cooking, etc while I play. If I'm sitting a 2+ hour spawn, I'll sit the camp and go to the store, breakfast, lunch, dinner, workout, whatever.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

I'm a tech savvy inventory clerk at a Wal-Mart who was able to repurpose an MC-9000 inventory gun to play Everquest. I browse the forums on a Kronos punch clock.

My life is very rich and yours can be too.

1. Don't Have Kids - There are about 7 billion human beings on Earth. I think the human race will work out just fine without yours. (http://i.imgur.com/DAtiL13.jpg)

2. Stay Away From Women - Women (http://www.fimfiction-static.net/images/story_images/48391.jpg?1346386652) are designed to keep you away from the things you truly love. At first they will support your interests, perhaps even share them-- but that is simply a maneuver designed to lower your defenses. They will burrow into your chest cavity, scrape out your heart and lungs, and lay their eggs in there. Then she will move on to find a new host and you will be left paying child support/vomiting blood.

3. Grow a Beard - A regal mane will not only help protect you from female predation, but it also serves as a useful adaptation to life in a dark basement. Can't see in the dark? Use your beard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhGuDaF3zlA) to feel around for energy drinks. Can't find food? Go stand next to a drive-thru and someone will usually buy you something off the value menu.

4. Quit Your Job - I know what you're thinking; every parent wants to see their child go out and make their own way in the world, right? Wrong. Your parents love you, and they want nothing more than to have you back in the house under their loving care. They will provide a comfortable basement lair in which you can properly pursue your love of online gaming.

You've forsaken reproduction, shunned women, grown a magnificent beard, and dedicated your life to emulated classic everquest. Only the most dedicated have what it takes to dominate server content, and your dedication is clearly visible to all. Platinum and treasures will fill your bank as pizza boxes, soft drink cans, and ant colonies amass around you. Watch as an ecosystem forms in your basement, as ants, spiders, and mice vie for control of resources, while you compete for control of raid targets. This is what classic everquest is about.

[Ugrask]

I work 7:30 to 4:30 M-F where I spend my hour lunch at the gym.(Id laptop in for some soloing if I had a bit more privacy during work hours, Forumquest suffices)

So 4:45ish to about 11 is generally EQ or I work in some other games like LoL, with breaks to do dishes/cook dinner. Let my dog out. Weekends are a grab bag, it's winter so fuck being out in the cold, but come late Spring, Summer and Early fall I spend one day a weekend hiking all day. Until then, I play for 12+ hours on the weekend if my GF and I are doing nothing.

She plays MMOs like a single player game or watches TV and lets me do my thing. Kids are never in the picture, fuck that hassle.

Sounds more like OP has genuine curiosity about other people's lifestyles than wanting to bash them.

I say if you love EQ, and your life permits you to play it that much, then more power to you.

[lecompte]

Edited for correctness:

Oh please. Me and the wife raised a demonspawn brat while playing EQ almost as much as we worked. It can be done. They more-or-less raise themselves once you teach them how to play Everquest.

And Lune, I love your bit -- but have you got a twist for the female extreme gamers among us? Making me laugh once is not sufficient. After someone has made me laugh, they have a standard to maintain.

[Ugrask]

Exactly. I know I play a lot...but I'm a pretty simple person in what I enjoy.

When it's nice out, I sit on my deck with a glass of whiskey and a cigar. Grill dinner, go out to the local pub for drinks. As mentioned previously, hike. If none of that is happening I'm SURE as fuck going to relax after work/weekends with some EQ. I've never canceled plans to play nor said no to plans.

Back during late EQ/Early WoW - I always justified large amounts of time in MMOs because I wasnt out getting drunk every night, spending money on stupid shit. I was getting massive entertainment value and made some friends I still talk to, to this day.

[Sebekkha]

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 !

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.

Don't be a hater :eek:

When I'm sitting a camp, I have audio triggers that make noise when I need to be back at my desk to kill the next pop so I'm cleaning, cooking, etc while I play. If I'm sitting a 2+ hour spawn, I'll sit the camp and go to the store, breakfast, lunch, dinner, workout, whatever.

How did you do that?
I thought audio trigger feature didn't work on p99.

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.

[Keriath]

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.

Do you want to have the power to take time in your life to do the things you love? Lune will show you how.

1. Don't Have Kids - There are about 7 billion human beings on Earth. I think the human race will work out just fine without yours. (http://i.imgur.com/DAtiL13.jpg)

2. Stay Away From Women - Women (http://www.fimfiction-static.net/images/story_images/48391.jpg?1346386652) are designed to keep you away from the things you truly love. At first they will support your interests, perhaps even share them-- but that is simply a maneuver designed to lower your defenses. They will burrow into your chest cavity, scrape out your heart and lungs, and lay their eggs in there. Then she will move on to find a new host and you will be left paying child support/vomiting blood.

3. Grow a Beard - A regal mane will not only help protect you from female predation, but it also serves as a useful adaptation to life in a dark basement. Can't see in the dark? Use your beard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhGuDaF3zlA) to feel around for energy drinks. Can't find food? Go stand next to a drive-thru and someone will usually buy you something off the value menu.

4. Quit Your Job - I know what you're thinking; every parent wants to see their child go out and make their own way in the world, right? Wrong. Your parents love you, and they want nothing more than to have you back in the house under their loving care. They will provide a comfortable basement lair in which you can properly pursue your love of online gaming.

5. Apply to TMO - This (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1368934&postcount=24) is the final destination (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134184) of your journey. You've forsaken reproduction, shunned women, grown a magnificent beard, and dedicated your life to emulated classic everquest. Only the most dedicated have what it takes to dominate server content, and your dedication is clearly visible to all. Platinum and treasures will fill your bank as pizza boxes, soft drink cans, and ant colonies amass around you. Watch as an ecosystem forms in your basement, as ants, spiders, and mice vie for control of resources, while you compete for control of raid targets. This is what classic everquest is about. Congratulations, adventurer, for you have liberated your life.

hahahahaha

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.

I can only play for that long when I am flying my private jet back and forth from Tokyo to NYC. Of course I often get interrupted by my super model girlfriends begging me for sex, it can be a lot of work satisfying 5 high maintenance woman while I'm trying to grind out a level, but I do what I need to do it get by.

For me I'm able to go on eq benders because of my job. I get projects where I have to be 100 percent focused working 16 plus hours a day for weeks on end. But then I have a week or two or more of just free time before the next project starts up. That's when I binge hard. Back in the day I used to just skip school and other responsibilities to play. Cuz she's a rich girl... Lol

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?

I ride my bike to the corner where I sell crack, then I buy me some corn fritters and candy yams on the way back home where my illegal immigrant live in baby-momma milks my sweet potato pie while I force my lazy, non-crack selling kids to work their 16+ hour day by healing my badass warrior troll.
