I don’t want to look at this.

I think it’d be pathetic to see what percentage of my life I’ve played this game in the last year and a half. (Really it’s like 64 days played in 15 months)… which is 15%… About 4 hours a day, every day, for the past 15 months since I’ve been unemployed! Meh, I find some legitimate sense of accomplishment in doing what I do, in the friendships I forge, in the accomplishments I do. The only difference is that I do these while sitting on my arse spamming heart strike.

worst console command in game, seriously
feels a bit better if you can think at wow like a serious hobby and not like something you should escape of any moment to make your life better. like, for example “how much time i passed my life watching movies?”.
ehr..something like that.

I dread doing that calculation, but since I haven’t done so in a year or more, here goes:

EU toons (started in April 08): 141 days, 12 hours

US toons (started in September 05): 355 days, 12 hours

In total, that’s 497 days out of about 1651.5 days since I first started playing, which is 29.99% of my life. Eek.

The bright spot (if you can consider it that) is that the ratio on my EU toons is much better – 20%. It’s probably a few points higher beacause I’m splitting my time between EU and US right now, but still.

It’s also interesting for me to see that none of the characters I currently consider my “main” come anywhere close to the played time for my first, second or third raiding characters (by a margin of nearly 50%).

Of course, I’m getting seriously burned out now, and if it weren’t for wanting to boost my chances of getting into the beta (and thus have some hands-on stuff to write about), I’d probably let the sub on my EU accounts lapse and just play my US tank for the daily and level up a little hordie with a friend. I get enjoyment out of playing for an hour or two a few nights a week, but I can’t do the constant burn anymore, and if I try to it’s just going to sour me even to Cataclysm.

I loves me some altaholic!
I am WAY to scared to look at the little summary at the bottom of the screen. Speaking of spammy mods, altaholic is quite spammy with others that have it installed – the section called datastore or something like that. It is the database sharing bit for other people with altaholic installed. For that reason I turn it OFF when raiding.

Addon Control Panel is wonderful for that if you want that kind of in game control of which addons are “on” at a time.
