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.

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!

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!

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 ;) :]

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 :(
When our hearts both beat in time,
There\'s magic in your smile,
It seems there\'s nothing we can\'t do.

And within your warm embrace,
My heart will find a place,
Even from afar,
Our love forever shall be, destiny.
