Mooiness and Israd: the number of hours varies a lot these days. I still remember when I first started playing EverQuest in 2000, it was during a semester break, and that was all I did for a couple of weeks. Nowadays I might spend a couple of hours online every other night, or just play on the weekends. Lately I find I’ve been enjoying reading and blogging more so I’ve been doing that more instead.

The closest I got to an online game was CounterStrike through the office LAN back home. It would normally involve around 20-30 players from offices throughout the campus during lunch hour. The powers-that-be shut it down when they found out.

How long do you spend (per session) in these MMORPG by the way?

I’ve only played Warcraft 3 and never ventured onto WoW. I know how my time will be all sucked up so I’m almost hesistant.

I’m already losing enough sleep doing every other thing. Heh.

How many hours a week do you spent playing?

Thanks Mooiness It’s remarkably easy to write about something you enjoy…

I do usually end up maintaining more than one character in a MMORPG but it’s not that difficult. In any case one character tends to be my ‘main’ - and the others get played only when I feel like something different.

Have you ever played these games?

This is sooo awesome. You’ve basically put it in a form that “noobs” (that’s another term for ya :P) can understand. You pwned!

So you maintain more than one character? Does it get mind-boggling sometime?
