How many hours a week do you play EB?

[moriluk]

This is my first poll. I hope I do it right.

My good computer went down about a month ago and I was layed off 2 weeks ago. So I have more free time than ever and can't play EB . I was playing it quite a bit before my laptop went down. I am curious how often others here play on average per week.

Obviously the answer fluctuates because of school, family, work, life, etc. I am asking about a normal week, & by normal I mean a week without finals, midterms, funerals, weddings, holidays, vacations, etc.

On a normal week I enjoy less then five hours of EB

I have so much going on it's not funny. Friends, school, work, wieghts, women, (and of course parties ). By the time I get home I either pass out on the couch or get ready to go again.

But I cherish those seldom moments (like now) that I am home, my family is sleeping, and all the lights are off when I can truly let out my inner nerd and roleplay some EB

Oh, and don't ask why i'm not playing EB right now because I am on the .Org...

less than 5.

other things need to be done.

EDIT: like finding the arabic words: "allun" (an all iron spear-akin to pila or solifera?) "mitallun" (cow horn spear tip) and "7arbatun" (a spear that is not a spear-javelin perhaps?).

well, what do expect? the dictionary I'm using (lisaanu ul-3arab) was written in c.1236 AD

Im probably one of the few lucky ones who get to enjoy EB as much as they want. Id say im pushing 8-10 hours of EB. Not the last few weeks, because of being busy, but I can usually put 2 hours in a given weekday.

About 10 or 12 hours would be an average week, rarely do I play less than 10 hours, but I haven't had a chance to play any for about a week or so.

rarely touch EB in monday to friday.... Saturday & Sunday = EB day.... (when not playing CNC 3)

[Tarkus]

Seriously...how can anybody play >40 hours a week??!!??

[Maion Maroneios]

Indeed, been wondering that as well. I'd get my brains burned if I did

None. Well, I played about 10 hours of EB since Christmas holidays. I basically had two occasions. But today was the last day of school for me. Perfect. The only thing is, I am taking extra classes during the summer. In any case, I will play more EB soon.


EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I played 10 hours of EB since Christmas, but then I had a county (a region within a US state; mine has almost exactly 300,000 people) academic team (Quizbowl) State Championship trip this April. During that trip, we were in DisneyWorld, Orlando (Florida) but since Disney is quite rotten in my opinion, I stayed in the hotel and played EB for most of the time. Even though I had free passes to all the Disney parks. So anyway, I played about 40 hours of EB during five days. Or even more. We woke up at 6:30, had breakfast, then competitions until about 13:00 and after that, free time.

Of course, we all stayed up until 2:00 playing games on out laptops. It was quite humorous. There we were, six nerds in three rooms, all on their laptops clicking away. Best days of my life this year. Games, academic competitions, Disney, fellowship with a bunch of the nerdiest people you will ever meet in your entire life... Perfect for a nerd like me.

Sometimes i need to play EB, just to come down after a hard day. mostly after 10.00 pm. roundabout 10 hour per week.
i´m so shooked that 2 or 3 hour are going so fast

I have a record with Shaiya 13.5 hours without stopping. Though I did not quit, server collapsed WOW is much worse....

I realise that Im going to higher schools after this, and to work after that. But that has nothing to do with the 13 and half weeks freedom I now enjoy!

I accidently clicked 5-10 but normally i get abot 5- hrs. especially now with baseball. I also have other games competing for my attention so i have to split time. I love being a kid. You get a whole s*** load of time to play especially during the summer.

[Cyclops]

I average 5-10. I put in a solid 2 hours on a Saturday, maybe 2 on a Sunday morning in between cooking and housework. I might grab an hour on a week night or two, so about 6 a week is normal.

Just short sessions like that keep me interested, and I can mull the events rather than running them together. I have gorged on EB (eg when I first got it) with a 5-6 hour session but I just got a headache, and Makedon-fatigue.

I have an unusually unique situation where i can get by off my reserve pay. Since I don't work as much as other people who make the same money I can lay about doing bugger all often. Still I don't play that much EB(5-10 hours). I generally just leave the computer on and go about my day, errands and such, hang out with friends and check messages and computer what have you's in passing. like now... I was just walking through to grab my guitar to jam with one of my squadmates. turrah!

[Fluvius Camillus]

As much as I want to, done with school anyway

You do realize there's something after school that takes even more time than your schooling, right?

Probably hasn't yet. He will.

Edit: 500th post! Nice.
