I'm just pondering the concept that we have no life... so I've got a few questions I'd like answered by a diverse slice of the multiboxing community...
How many active WOW accounts do you own?
Seven.
How many active MMO accounts do you own?
Seven total, none besides WoW.
How many level 70's do you have?
11 now.
How many actually played characters do you have?
11 70's, 4 50ish.
How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
Three, one five box team mixed class, one five box team shamans, one 4 box team of warlocks, and a 70 raiding warrior.
How many hours a week do you normally play?
20-25
How many hours a week do you normally work?
50How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
10-15, most of these overlap with the socializing with friends.

All said and done I spend about half my free time in WoW, I find it a great release, something to do that burns time without burning cash like crazy. Other hobbies I'm interested in happen to be much more expensive. I love rocketry and RC cars and planes, but I could easily burn 500 a month on those... with WoW, my hobby takes $100 a month and a larger chunk once a year for expansions...

Do you sleep at all? When do you find time to eat?
There are 24 x 7 = 168 hours in a week
Sleeping 8 hours a day for a total of 56 hours leaves 112 hours
50 hours work + 20 hours play + 20 hours socializing + 10 hours TV is 100 hours
That leaves you with only 12 hours a week to do everything else in life!

How many hours a week do you normally play?
15-40, really depends on the school and other activities in the weekends.
How many hours a week do you normally work?
Work? That's school aswell? I've got 33 hours of school each week (not counting homeworks, which I consider as a "work" aswell) and .. around 10 hours work.
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
3-5
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
I am unsure about this one, do you mean, when you can literally see your friend? Or is online communication alright?
If it's that you can see your friends, I'd say about 2 hour average a day.
If it's the second, I'd be .. 40 hours - voip is my friend.
Comments?
It's pretty simple, I play wow when my friends play and visa versa. It's rare that I play "alone", aka that no one of my real life friends are online.
P.S. Now I wondering if this is even possible :) - looking at the post above.

50 hours work + 20 hours play + 20 hours socializing + 10 hours TV is 100 hours
That leaves you with only 12 hours a week to do everything else in life!I'm sorta trying to figure out what else I need to do that doesn't fall into one of those categories... I sleep 6-8 hours a day, mostly 6, not 8. I used to sleep a lot more, but as I've aged I find myself waking up reliably after 6 and before 8 hours.
Other activities... eating for example, that falls into social time most time, go out to eat with friends... lunch at work, oh thats covered by work... breakfast, most often a quick bite eaten on my commute which is included in the 50 hours...
Laundry, do that while gaming or watching TV...
Cleaning house, happens regularly throughout the week, I'd say I never put more than 5 hours into that...
Yard work/lawn work... I pay the boy up the street to mow my lawn, when it's hot I like my AC...
Snow removal... not sure, just moved, but I bet that boy up the street wants money in the winter just like he does in the summer, I'll cross that bridge when it falls on the sidewalk...
So, what else can I do with my time? I go out to movies... oh, thats social... I have parties from time to time...oh wait, more social...
WTF man, you wanna bust my chops because after I sleep 8 hours I only have 12 left a week.... break your day down, lets see where you land ;)

I love wow and play it every day without fail. I have a lot of friends on wow and I find it a great socialising tool in addition to an awesome game. I only sleep about 4-5 hours a night during the week, and 8 hours a night on the weekend. I watch movies and play wow at the same time for effeciency too lol. I have a pretty good life, I'm only just 20, in a full time job for 3 years now, have a lot of friends, have travelled the world, been to uni, briefly fought a bushfire, yea, been pretty good :P

It means like, of those characters you leveled to 70, which ones do you still play on a regular basis? I for one don't play my lock and pally anymore (cos they got hacked) or my priest. So my played chars are less than my total number of 70s.

The awesome camping is the best. We once campedon a beach 200km from the nearest town, and had a storm blow over that night lol. All we had set-up were swags underneath a canvas stratched over 6 poles (rectangle chape) with ropes tied off to ground on the sides for support/strength. Was a very fun night :)
Also, one time we went fighing on said beach, but walked out on the sandbar to get further out. Caught a few fish but stayed out a bit too long and had to walk 800m back through upper-calf deep water. Was made more interesting by a reef shark circling around us attracted by the blood from the fish we caught lol.

As a old computer role games player (since Dungeon Master and Pool of Radiance / Gold Box series) I've always find this "hobby" to be relaxing from the normal life. Been playing sports since a little kid (football (soccer for you yanks), handball, floorball, basketball etc.) but the older I get, and the more my body is giving up on me, the more I've put on this old old hobby.

I have one friend who plays wow active and he also boxes, i plan to study for next year and work at the place i was born wich is a empty place with a pop of 5k. Easy to say that NOTHING happens here so i dont feel i miss much by playing wow atm (untill i start studying and move to a city ofc i will most likley freeze wow due to social life and i cant play wow and study) 2 of my friends have played wow semi active and got one 70 each and is pretty netural to boxing. While 3-4 of my last friends is totaly against wow from basic and boxing makes them tear out theyr own eyes in anger.
I have to listen to a constant stream of whine about wow while they always complain about how bored they are, it feels like they want me to be bored like they are all the time. I bought a PC that costed $1500 and they started going on about IMAGION the tv you could get for $1500. (wich in my opinion aint THAT much of a tv) When i confront them about that they have no hobbies and always complain about how boring the week days are they try to counter me with "But you learn nothing from wow and its not social"
One spend just as much time as me watching tv while the other works all the time just to kill his own free time.
Its harderst for my student friends to swallow thought but since i earn about $100k a year with no big outpays 1 or 5 wow accounts wont even be noticed in the big picture.

About 15 or 20.
Comments?
I've not really burned a lot of cash into WoW. At least I don't feel like it. Maybe it's because I have got things set in my life the way I want it. Do I think I have no life? No, because I can do what I choose to, I live in a free society where the choices made decide how and where I choose to live. All of the decisions in my life have led me exactly to where I am today and it's exactly where I want to be. While it's true that you cannot control the weather or the waves on your boat, you can determine which way you're going to steer your vessel. In other words, life is like a boat on an ocean where you control the direction you're headed. You cannot control some things such as how high the waves are or the storms around you, but you can still go in the direction you want to.

Do you mean real camping or camping at like a campsite next to the people in their camper van?3 ways.
1) Park truck next to river in middle of freaking nowhere and pitch a tent. (I drive past all the people in the "campground" and point and laugh)
2) Load up ATV's with a ton of gear and go get lost for a few days (GPS on board). (I think I've got some pics of my trip two weekends ago?)
3) Load up backpack with too much gear, and hike off in some random direction and get lost for a few days.All three are viable camping methods IMO. The whole load teh car and take the family to a gridlocked area full of other peoples cars and their tents is just fucking stupid.
I had the privledge of growing up in Jackson, Wyoming... some of the most amazing country I've seen... (Been around the block at least a little, UK, Germany, Iraq, Saudi, Hawaii, coast to coast in the US but not all states yet). Live in Iowa now, not a lot of camping to do here, we have our nice park areas and such, but nothing like what I was spoiled with growing up...

Ten (six active).
How many active MMO accounts do you own?
Not sure - I have a couple of old EQ accounts, an EQ2 account, and some for other MMO's - I've only played WoW and EQ for extended periods of time though.
How many level 70's do you have?
Around 15, although some are on horde-side (my main team is alliance).
How many actually played characters do you have?
7 at the moment - some are on the same account.
How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
Two - pala + 4 shammies and pala + druid + warlock + 2 shaman
How many hours a week do you normally play?
That depends on school - in exam periods I play a lot less, obviously. At the moment I play 2-3 hours per day on average.
How many hours a week do you normally work?
24 hours of work and about 15-25 hours of lectures/studying.
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
0 - I don't own a TV. I do sometimes watch a tv-series or two before going to bed (DVD's - Seinfeld, Scrubs, Dexter etc.)
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
Some of my socializing is during school/projects, but other than that it's usually about 15 hours per week - more when going out to bars etc., but I try to limit that for economical reasons.
Comments?
I consider WoW my TV-time - what I do to relax and put a distance to everyday-life. I never understood why people would think multiboxing is expensive - what I spend per month on wow is less than what I spend in one night when going to bars and such. What's the big deal? In fact, WoW is a money-saver for me :-)

How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
I had 8 lvl 70's all normally leveled, some 2 or 3-boxing (all classes but a mage) and then started the 5 shaman who are now 70. All the others are newly Raf'd teams to give me options once Wrath starts to level off from a raiding perspective.

I really don't understand all the boxing hate. I have digital cable, well I pay for it because my wife likes it. We have something like 300 channels. Do you know whats on when I get home at 12:30am? Nothing. Which is why MMO's is so appealing for me. On top of that its hard to get groups at my hours of play which is why I boxed. Since the force arena play, double BG grind I felt the game moved in to a anti casual direction and decided to move on to something a bit more less demanding.
Before gaming my love was restoring classic cars and also racing down at the drag. Fast forward, you move out, work 2nd shift and get married. Well you don't have many options at that point do ya XD.

I have no life, my work is my life, I see my fellow residents more than I see my wife. I use world of warcraft to escape from reality, which is very harsh if you see the patients that I see coming into the ER. (one piece of advice, wear a helmet, and if you can help it sell your bike and get a metalic cage around you).

How many hours a week do you normally work?
Fluctuates a lot but usually 40 - sometimes an extra 5-10 on the weekends during maintenance.
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
Probably 10-15, a lot of this overlaps with hanging out with my wife and daughter though as we almost always have the TV on for background noise.
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
Recently moved out of state, don't have many local friends except when they come to visit, but we usually hang out with local family members (my own age - cousins etc) a few hours a week. Mostly we just hang out with each other (me, wife, daughter)
Comments?
I think its hilarious when people tell me I have no life. I am supporting a wife and daughter, spend plenty of time with them, spend time with family, and overall have way less days /played on all of my characters put together than most people have on a single character. (usually when I hit 70 I get bored and stop playing that character).

How many hours a week do you normally play?
Um too many. Oh about 40 maybe, depends on what is going on at work and what not.
How many hours a week do you normally work?
Lets see, I put in about 8-10 hours a day x 5 = 40-50 hours, + commute 1.5-2 hours daily dependent on traffic how late I get up in the AM. So Work + Commute = 50-60 hours weekly.
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
I don’t have a TV. Oh wait I have 2, when you say watch do you mean turn it on and sit in front of it and watch something or just stare at a TV that’s not turned on. For the first oh not much normally nothing to watch on TV anyways, maybe 10 hours max. The second one I try not to do that people think I’m weird as it is.
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
My friends live too far so if I am lucky maybe 5-7 on a good week others 0. And for the most part they play WoW or they live on the other side of the states.

WoW for Life! Or until blizzard comes up with its new MMO and its better than WoW. 5 Accounts of WoW is cheaper than 1 night at the bar/club, went out the other day and well what I spent on beer and drinks = 1 month of play for my 5 accounts, if I had 1 account that would cover my 6 month subscription easily. So Multiboxing WoW = cheaper than going out for the most part = a happy cheap ass Marious.

All available time that I am home is spent with my family while they are awake. WoW time occurs when they are asleep, as long as I am not too tired.
Comments?
I sleep at most 6 hours a night, usually somewhere between 4-5. I would love to have more time to play WoW, but the demands of my job and family prevent that from occurring. I had gotten into the habit of playing WoW after the night feeding of my baby, but lately I have been too tired to even do that. I will say that R-A-F has been a godsend, as I was able to level characters crazy-fast to 60 and now I can work on grinding a group to 70.

12, counting the RAF accounts.
How many level 70's do you have?
7 (Shaman x5, Priest, Paladin)
How many actually played characters do you have?
7 70's, 5 65's, 8 60's, and 3 around 45's. I am a devout altaholic, so I'm often rerolling groups, playing them to 10-20 over a weekend, then rerolling again.
How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
Teams or combinations?
Combination group 1 (mix/match level 70's):
5x shamans
4x shaman 1x pally (utilizing the above shamans)
4x shaman 1x priest
1x priest 1x pally 3x shaman (utilizing the above priest/shamans/pally)
Total for this combination: 1 priest, 5 shaman, 1 pally

1x druid 4x hunters
5x druids (utilizing the above druid)
1x mage 4x druids (utilizing the above druids)
1x mage 1x druid (utilizing the above mage/druid)

How many hours a week do you normally work?
9-5, Monday-Friday (longer during release periods)
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
More recently I've been watching a few episodes on the weekends that are Tivo'd. More commonly I only have the TV on for background noise while grinding/farming.
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
Outside of work? Maybe once a month I'll go to or host a party. Most of my friends are coworkers so we get our socializing done at lunch breaks and such
Comments?
As Ellay has noted -- I may seem like I'm on WoW 24/7 but for the most part I'm actually more casual than Suvega. More recently I just do whatever the mood strikes me -- particularly since Wrath is around the corner and I have no major goals to meet before Wrath.
I tend to be an avid reroller and theorycrafter, so much of my "productive" wow time is spent on alts. That being said I've got several other hobbies I try to keep up with -- reading, crafting, knitting, catching up on CSI episodes. It really depends on the week -- sometimes I'll go on a WoW binge after theorycrafting about a certain combination, and when I get bored I go do something else (either a different comp or a totally different hobby). Multiboxing helps keep the game interesting after having leveled so many alts -- with spec and group compositions I can still be creative and find something new in the game.
Oh, and I also love deleting all of my macros and starting over. Masochistic as it is, I love thinking up new macros and layouts. It's a nice challenge for my brain. :)

The greatest benefit to Wow for me is it's such efficient entertainment. For even $75/month that can happily occupy a good 40hours a month, far less than other forms of entertainment cost. I also have a guild with real life friends so we have the chance to meet up outside of WoW, and most importantly, friends (and a loving wife) who have nothing to do with WoW.

41 + 64 = 105 on WoW. For Guild Wars, 11 played. For Everquest, 32, but those Everquest accounts will be expiring soon.

36 main raiding team, then an alt team of 16 level 61's, then another alt team of 32 level 32's. So 3 raiding teams really.

I've not really burned a lot of cash into WoW. At least I don't feel like it. Maybe it's because I have got things set in my life the way I want it. Do I think I have no life? No, because I can do what I choose to, I live in a free society where the choices made decide how and where I choose to live. All of the decisions in my life have led me exactly to where I am today and it's exactly where I want to be. While it's true that you cannot control the weather or the waves on your boat, you can determine which way you're going to steer your vessel. In other words, life is like a boat on an ocean where you control the direction you're headed. You cannot control some things such as how high the waves are or the storms around you, but you can still go in the direction you want to.
So general math and problem solving skills tells me that you are probably not married, nor would you have time for a "significant other" in this scenario.
Come on a math trip with me, yes?
168 hrs in a week [7 day period]
-40 hrs Work
-15-20 hrs friends and family
-56 hrs sleep [assumption you DO get 8 hours of sleep a night]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
54 hrs a week is what you sink into WoW time, logged in, idle, questing, dying, kililng.
so that's about 216 hours a month that you stay logged in, how many of those hours are you being destroyed by the alliance on Aegwynn?
Give or take, assuming you do get 8 hrs of sleep and don't become socially enept as your posts on Aegwynn forums lead me to believe that you could be or might have some conditions, such as paranoid schitzophrenia. That could be the stress of failure resting on your shoulders too, since you've sunk so much time and money into this to see little to no result of anything you expected, WITHOUT reaching out to other players in the community for help when being camped, killed, farmed for honor, or even raiding a city.
If you had a "High Warlord" rank, I think i would respect you, even the amount of time you play. I must say "Of the Horde" is a joke for a multiboxer to have, considering most of it came before that title while you stood infront of Galv in AV blocking the alliance, killing them in groups of 1 to 4, only to rez and return.

You would have "repsect" for someone if they had a "High Warlord" rank...a rank from a video game. Not respect for someone because they're accomplishing something they want to do and have fun doing, but some artificial rank in an artificial world.

I have a very demanding job that takes up most of my time, but the financial rewards are worth it :thumbup: . I get to play for an hour in the mornings while waiting for my girfriend to get ready for work and maybe for a couple of hours here and there throughout the week or weekends. Part of my job is setting up gaming suites for VIP clients, so I get paid to play WOW somedays on nice hardware (Quad core, 8GB, GTX 280, 30" screens - should really have a play with multiboxing on them the next time i have to setup a Suite - we currently have 26 of these machines!!).
god this makes me sound like I only work or play WOW :S . I also try to find as much time as I can to be with my Girlfriend (going out and doing things together) and I'm also trying to learn Classical guitar.

I love boxing WoW. After I got my first 70 (started pre TBC, but wasn't 60 before th release) I was like "now what" and started an alt, but just couldn't bring myself to start over from scratch, so I got a second account and tried boosting (epic fail, had no idea what I was doing) eventally, I found this site, got 3 more accounts, and had a blast leveling (pre RAF, even more fun once that started) Boxing wow lets me live my life without having to deal with other random people. I remember one night, on my paladin (holy at the time) trying to get an instance run together (you'd think it'd be easy, given that I was a healer...) I think it was a heroic daily or something. It took 3 hours, a bunch of people dropped, were replaced etc. and we never got halfway through the place... Epic waste of time. Now I just go whenever I want. If I decide i want to get a drink, i dont have to notify my party, and wait for a stopping point. I just go. No dealing with loot whores, or bad rolls, or whatever. The toon that needs it most gets it. Even when I start raiding with my Guild its gonna be great, cause I can play anywhere from 1-5 toons depending on how many others we got online. All in all, I find the monthly cost totally worth it. I plan on playing until the next expansion, and beyond. I really hope they don't make wow more gimmicky... some of the northrend dungeon bosses are just rediculous. And where did all the trash go? I liked to grind instance mobs for exp (being on a PvP server, its much more relaxing) but now itsl ike 3 mob packs and a boss... Oh well. Here's to hoping that I can get 2-3 teams to 80 before the next expansion goes out...

I have no internet connection at the moment so I'm on an involuntary wow break, leads to an increase in time spent watching TV and socialising, but I really wish I could log in sometimes too :)

How many level 70's do you have?
1, rogue. 3 80's, and a gaggle of sub-60 alts.
How many actually played characters do you have?
I'm playing 6 right now - a leveling team, and my 80s get on and do dailies and craft and run lowbies through dungeons. I'm adding DKs into the mix now, too, so in a week or so, make that 9.
How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
Right now, 2, a 3rd is in the planning stages to take more advantage of rested time (no RAFs here)
How many hours a week do you normally play?
Depends - it probably averages 10-15 a week, 0 if I have freelance work or social events or a concert or something. Once in a while I'll indulge and play all weekend, to get caught up or make a goal. I can't take more than 3 hours at a sitting, I have to get up and do something else after that. I put a exercise cycle next to my computer desk to get rid of excess energy so I can last 3 hours. :)
How many hours a week do you normally work?
40 for my day job, if I have freelance work it can be as much as 80.
How many hours a week do you normally watch TV?
I rarely if ever sit and watch tv - I'm always doing something else. I cannot stand to waste time like that - unless its a really good movie, I have the tv on in the background, and I semi-pay attention to it. Or, I'll have the Xm on for music, or my iTunes library.
How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
Depends. A lot of my friends moved away, got married, or travel for a living, so most of my communication is online now, or on the phone, or I travel, or they come through town on business or on tour. It's a lot less than I like, but I also like it in some ways. I'm an artist, so I need a lot of studio time anyway.
Comments?
I just want to say that I'm sick and tired of the "you have no life!" insult, it's childish and the people who use it are morons. I have a great life, I have a job I love, I have a freelance career I love, I have a family and a rather big group of friends I love, and I have so many things I can choose to do it's not even funny. I spend *maybe* 2 hours a day on this hobby, time that otherwise would be spent on another hobby anyway!
I love MBing, it's a whole new game when you do it, and I'll spend my time the way I want, and I feel no need to justify my time to forum trolls or kiddies in the game. Play for yourself, and forget the morons. I'm older now, I had my clubbing days, going out 4 nights a week, all nighters then showing up to work a zombie - I'm past that, I could care what some teenager thinks. I HAVE my stories and memories - why are you online flinging poo, instead of going out yourself? Hmmm? :)

How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
I generally dislike people. I am not a social person at all. Just "hanging out" drives me insane, I must be doing something. That said, I do have non computer things I do. I play semi-professional baseball and led my league in hitting last year. Since my wife works on Saturdays the kids and I usually try to do something. Lately we have been doing "experimental cooking", last weekend we made salsa for the first time and it turned out quite well. The wife also forces me to go out and socialize occasionally. This means like once a month I have to go to some party or something. There is usually How many active WOW accounts do you own?

All said and done I spend about half my free time in WoW, I find it a great release, something to do that burns time without burning cash like crazy. Other hobbies I'm interested in happen to be much more expensive. I love boating, jet skiiing and wakeboarding, I could easily burn 500 a month on those... with WoW, my hobby takes $500 a month and a larger chunk once a year for expansions...
