Used to play about 2-3 hours a day. Now, w/ school and all, I'm down to about 6 hours a week at max, not counting weekends.

Unfortunately, it's down to a ridiculously low level. Probably around three hours a week. This week I most likely won't be able to play at all...

During the summer I could log in about ten a week.

Well as little as a year ago, I was still probably playing about 30 hours a week, give or take a few. I'm since gotten old, however. :embarassed: Now I probably play only around 10 hours a week, mostly on the weekends. It's hard for me to find time to play during the week anymore.

Of course, the irony is that I now spend way too much time here at the Org, reading and posting messages. Were I to cut back on the hours I spend here, I suspect I would quickly discover where the majority of my extra playing time disappeared to. :laugh4:

when i first got shogun, i played 5-6 hours a day. that slacked off until just before medieval came out to 10-12 hrs a week. then i rollercoasted back up to 5-6 hrs a day again.

the curve was much flatter on medieval. until rome came out i played 15-20 hrs a week. then i played rome in the next wave of heavy use. i started switching back and forth between medieval and rome up till barbarian invasion at the 15-20 hrs a week level. bi made my play come to a screaching halt. i really didn't like bi.

i didn't even repick up the old games for as much as 6 months. i was burned out. then i reinstalled medieval and since then play it almost exlusively. my level today fluxuates but i usually play 3 or 4 campaigns heavily like the old days. then i just visit forums and talk about the game for 2-3 months with small usage. i think this trend i think will probably continue as i don't plan to buy m2tw. i just can't afford the machine it will take to play it.

About an hour a day during the weekdays, and about 6-8 hours a day on the weekends.

Usually about 4-5 hours a week. This week, the woman is off on travel, and I have been able to play 4 or more hours every night since Saturday. :2thumbsup:

This past summer I was playing RTW a couple hours a day, and sometimes as many as 8-10. Now, it depends on my schedule. When I have a test I quit for a while. Otherwise, I play an hour or so most days, and at least a couple hours on weekends(sometimes more).

My schedule currently dictates about 30 minutes worth of playing time each week :wall:

About 2 hours in five week days, and anywhere from 0 to 12 hours straight on weekends, depending on how much time i have.

I usually play 6-8 hours on weekdays and 10-12 hours on weekends...And that's during school time. I dunno how many hours I'll play if I was on vacation...

Also work fulltime, no baby, but something worse: Fifa 07 ... :help:

Recently, I discovered RTR though, so sometimes I get tempted to neglect my duties as a soccer club manager...

Two to three hours on weekdays, none on weekends. Half-Life is taking up that slot.

I play about 1 hour of BF2 every wednesday night. And since I have the Anno 1701 demo I tend to play that for maybe an average of 2 hours a week

Lately I've been playing MTW about 2 to 3 times a week, including weekends. In total hours per week, I would say about 7 to 10. Once I'm done with my current campaign, however, I'll probably be cutting that down to 0 for several months or so. I will be taking a certification test soon, so I need to start cramming for that. Also, my wife will be having a baby, so I know life will not be the same once that happens - in a happy kind of way, of course!! :jumping:

Around 2-4 hours a week. I only usually go on once or twice a week but i'll be on for hours. I should use my spare time for more constructive use.:book:

o hour between Monday and Thursday.
4/5 hours on Friday evening if nothing comes up.
Whatever time I can spare on Saturday - usually from the moment I wake up until late - so about 10/12 hours
2/3 hours on Sunday (trying to finish whaterver I left "undone" on Saturday)

Nowadays: Between 1 - 3 hours per week, usually occuring in a non contiguous fashion between friday night and sunday night.

In the past: Considerably more, though not to the "sitting on the toilet with a laptop" level.

Maybe 4-6 hours a week if I'm lucky to have that much 'downtime'...and most of that's at the weekend.

Maybe 1-2 hours a night. Is a mix between BI and BF1942 multiplayer on the Forgotten Hope mod. So probably 8 to 14 hours a week.

Although saying that I had a fairly fraught battle between my 1,500 huns and 3,000 Franks last night which put the average up on the week.

5-6 hours a day. Sometimes more on weekends. Actually most of it is web surfing and modding (gulp), but I count that as play.

ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88
10-19-2006, 22:41
web surfing ain't play, modding is playing though :-). I counted, about, I psente over 1000 hours on TW online in the past 2 yearws 7 months lol..

I don't even have any games anymore...maybe when Mount&Blade is updated I'll put in a couple hours a day for a week or so.

Back in high school it was 3 hours a day. So much wasted time lol.

Now I just waste time on the internet.

When I'm working the day run....At most 2hrs a week. When I'm working the nigth run....10-20 a week. See days ='s family time on days off + second job + work around the house and rental.

Working nights equals wifey telling me to keep things real quite while I knock about the house until 4 or 6am on my days off. :whip:

Lets see: everyone in bed by 10. Me with six to eight hours of unrestricted quite time ='s.... you betcha.... The conquering of the infidels.

Gotta talk to my boss about getting back up to nights.

10-21-2006, 22:50
Probably an hour on most weekdays, and 1-2 hourse each day of the weekend. I get more into campaigns in holidays though and can play for maybe four hours a day.

As to the person who says they play FIFA 07 - buy yourself Pro Evo!!!

I used to play FIFA because it had a license to use real players, but PES is so much better.

I used to play sometimes 20 hours on MTW a week, +/- a few hours. Now, I don't have MTW installed and RTW doesn't do it for me so, 2 hours if that.
