Im gonna try to get tons of food and drink, put my computer by my bed, and then play 24/7 for a few days. Ill sleep every 36 hours or so for about 8 hours and then use my alarm to wake me up so I get back on schedule.

Only kidding of course, this is just a game, theres no need to play all the time so it dominates your life. I used to play Diablo 2 all the time and all it did was use up good time I could spend programming, or doing school work.

Im not sure when the final game will be released, but its likely I will be either in university or having a job so I cant really just play all the time. I think id play about 4-10 hours each day to start off with.

Well, I want to play the game at least twice as long each day as I worked on it each day.  So I\'ll be in upwards of 10hrs aday :):)

Post by: Bill on January 14, 2002, 06:33:52 am
Man I cannot wait for the summer!

I remeber summer of the \"game that shall not be named\". Back then I liked the game and I used like 2-3/4 of my day playing it. It was so fun!

Post by: Valathous on January 14, 2002, 07:13:52 am
No, I\'m serious.  I want to be good at a game for once, and this looks like my game!  Lol heh

Heh.. in EQ i\'d clock up some hefty hours or playing time...

When i first got EQ I was sick over a weekend and I took 3 days off at teh start of that following week (although by the monday i was better... but i faked it ^^).

Id play EQ on average 6-7 hours a day. On weekends or days off that could get to 8-9hours.

Then tehre was the odd occasion that my parents would be out of the house for the weekend and id be the only one home, so id play from 8am to 4am teh following day... hmm thats 20 hours straight heh.. never realised it was that long ^^.... talk about an addiction!!.

But im now EQ free!!!... although I do suffer the odd withdrawl simtum from time to time, sweety palms, the odd flashback to groupings in Crushbone and Nro and sudden cravings to travel through Kunark  (But im forced not to play now thanks to Verants stupidity.. which i thank them for).

Although im going to start playing Dark ages of Camelot when i get my new PC (let teh cycle of addiction begin again :( ).

As for planeshift, id play about as long as i did for EQ, although id limit myself. Not to mention id be doing alot of GM stuff, rather than actualy playing the game... if you know what i mean.

Damn I got work in teh morning, and im gonna have to walk there... *yawns* time to sleep!

Post by: Mustang on January 14, 2002, 05:50:17 pm
well, I hate to admit it, but I\'ll be PSing on average about, hmm, say from 5 in the arvo, till about 11 or 12 at night...

*however*...If proxy support\'s going to be added, (oh please please please please really really please!! I\'ll be a good boy! I won\'t do anything norti again!! Promise!!!! :D) um, I\'ll be able to play at school (and I can get most of my class playing...trust me, it happened with RS!! :]) so can we pleaaaaaaaaaase have proxy support so I can play at TAFE? Cause then I\'ll be on most of the day.

Addicted?? Nah, I prefer...dedicated ;) :]

Post by: Dwinney on January 14, 2002, 06:23:21 pm
Jeez, I\'m gonna be way behind you guys...This is a very important school year for me, cause I\'m gonna get streamed and if i don\'t get into the top three classes I\'m dead meat.  :( For example, last year i got too \"dedicated\" to a game and got grilled because of poor results :(  X( . On top of that, i\'m trying to be the female champion runner in my school (came in second last year :D ) and get a leadership post in my co-curricular activity......
So i\'ll prolly play 1-2 hours a day only :(
Title:
Post by: Valathous on January 14, 2002, 11:58:36 pm
Heh, well I just averaged my time and ill be playing about 15 hours a day playing!
Title:
Post by: whitti on January 15, 2002, 12:28:06 am
I cant spend much time...
Title:
Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 12:32:18 am
No offense to PS, but I really wish I had better things to do.

Post by: whitti on January 15, 2002, 12:42:59 am

Get out there and find some new and exicting things to do :D There\'s a whole world waiting for you outside - with real people!!!!!

At the end of the day this is a game and while they are loads of fun, they are no substitute for real life achievements. It\'s easy to become addicted to this stuff (it happens to me too often ;) ) but don\'t sacrifice your life!

Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 01:26:23 am
Thats the thing kada, I have no life...
Title:
Post by: corsairk8 on January 15, 2002, 01:32:47 am
That is just sad, I feel sorry for you...

I cant even imagine who would be able to spend all their time on games and home schooling...
Title:
Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 01:46:50 am
Dude, what else am I suppose to do?  I have no friends ect.....
Title:
Post by: Kada-El on January 15, 2002, 01:54:50 am
Is this an act Val? You must have a friend! What do your parents think about this? Are they not concerned about you?

Why not join some kind of club for people with similar interests or go to a regular school? (Homeschooling is not so popular here, I don\'t know much about it - what reason do you homeschool and not mix with other people at a regular school???)
Title:
Post by: Scilantius on January 15, 2002, 02:23:16 am
I\'ll try something like 2-5 on the work days and 5-10 on the weekends (depends on how much I have to work  ;( ) well,.. anyway,.. I STILL cant wait for the demo (duuh) but at least I can go watch LOTR on thursday YEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!!
Title:
Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 02:29:15 am

Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 02:33:27 am

Those are the words I live by.

And Val, while it may be sad to not have friends in real life, you\'ve got us! Luckily I am not some 40 year old petafile (which my older brother calls everyone I talk to in forums a petafile EVERY SINGLE DAY! But at least I know he is an.....). Anyways I was thinking about starting a party (not PARTY! but a group of dudes and dudets) of people to help me explore and just to have a few drinks with and maybe gain some power over the time of PlaneShift. I\'m not sure if I want to do this, because I may want to go solo at first, but if anybody wants to do this with me, and we actually make something of ourselves, we will always have a space open for you Val. That is if we ever will exist.

Anyways that made no sense sooooooooooooo whatever! Man I love cheese!  :D

well anywaYs, im happy to be anyone\'s friend who is willing to talk to me.......and if you just go out to a couple of places every once in a while your bound to make friends even if you dont talk a single bit, just go stand near people and they will adapt to you  8o

I will probably play 5 hours per day and in summer I will try to break my record and play for 72 hours.
Don\'t think I will make it but you can always hope.

By the way I was Shadow in the old forum.

Post by: Valathous on January 15, 2002, 09:24:02 pm
Wolf, in the demo there is no fighting skill yet.

yeah I know that was spam.  You spam more.  You
acted like you rule and your going to rule this game.  One your grades go down from playing then you wont be capable of playing because you will have to study.  Now im going to stop fighting.  You arent worth the typing of my fingers.

Val, loosen up a bit. He\'s just hyped about the game and wants to be awesome. See that word, \"want\"? He is just ready to hit the training place and kill, kill, then kill some more. I admit that I do not want a lot of \"killer extreme\" people, but I think we can have an exception, and have our own \"renegade\".
