What is your record for number of hours on a single game? - Lemmy.world

And what game?

Roughly 30 000 hours in WoW. I’ve been playing it since 2005 - mostly active, only a couple of 1-6 month breaks.

Quick approximation - let’s just ignore the exact dates:

  • 18 years * 365 = 6570 days
  • 30000 hours / 6570 days = ~4.57 hours/day

So yea, over the last 18 years, I’ve played an average of 4h 34min of WoW every day.

In other words: if I sleep 8 hours a day, during the last 18 years, I’ve spent about 28% of my waking hours playing WoW.

While I’m at it: I’m 34 years old. since my birth, I’ve spent roughly 10% of my life playing WoW.

jfc lmao

I think you can use /played in the console it will tell you how much that character has been played. I did it once it came out in years scale too

Yup, that’s what I used to get the number - along with an addon that saves all the data from different characters and sums up the played time of all of them. Last time I checked it showed over 1200 days (=28 800 hours) for me - but it’s been a while since I checked the total, and it doesn’t include characters in Classic (or deleted characters). So I just rounded it to 30k hours, close enough. :D

My most played character is my shaman, with ~11k hours played - it was my main character from TBC to WoD (from 2007 to early 2015). Current main is Druid with ~6k hours of played. So these two characters alone are more than half of my total played time. :D
