So you have no life eh?

[Fuzzyboy]

How many active WOW accounts do you own?
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 :-)

Comments?
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.

How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
does work = socializing? and does talking to wife = socializing? if not then 1hour per week

Comments?
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 level 70's do you have?
6 right now (druid and 5 shamans), soon 12 (pally almost 70 and my current priest+4lock team is on it's way, will hopefully be 70 before wotlk.

How many actually played characters do you have?
11 - 5 shamans + paladin, and my priest+lock team


How many teams of characters do those characters comprise?
2 Teams

How many hours a week do you normally play?
26 - 9 of this is on thursdays though I work from home and usually play wow the entire time I'm working

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).

[Marious]

So you have no life eh?
WoW is life and Life is WoW. It is a never ending circle, I am unhappy because I WoW and I am WoW because I am unhappy.

3 (Trio, Trio, Quartet), rest are my lonely char’s

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.

Comments?

[b]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.

Crud edited in Word and bring it over and have all this crap /sigh oh well. You all get my meaning lunch time maybe I fix when I get back.

How many hours a week do you normally socialize/hang out with friends/etc?
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.

[Vyndree]

9-5, Monday-Friday (longer during release periods)

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.

Comments?
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.
