Ask Lemmy

Are we counting WoW? Because that's measured in years.

Roughly 30 000 hours in WoW. I've been playing it since 2005 - mostly active, only a couple of 1-6 month breaks.

Quick approximation - let's just ignore the exact dates:

• 18 years * 365 = 6570 days
• 30000 hours / 6570 days = ~4.57 hours/day

During the last 18 years, I've played an average of 4h 34min of WoW every day.

In other words: if I sleep 8 hours a day, during the last 18 years, I've spent about 28% of my waking hours playing WoW.

While I'm at it: I'm 34 years old. I have spent roughly 10% of my life playing WoW.

jfc lmao

Other MMOs: Guild Wars 1 & 2, FFXIV, are all between 1000-1500 hours each.

Outside of MMOs, the #1 is probably Trackmania (2020) at ~600 hours.

Over 12,000 hours so far on RimWorld. I've had the game for just over 6 years so that is roughly 5 1/2 hours a day. I think it takes 10000 hours to be considered an expert at something.

Hey mom look I finally made something of myself. :)

Minecraft. Probably over 15,000 hours playing servers modpacks, developing mods. It's been 13 years now!?!

3,545 hrs in Rimworld. Minecraft is probably up there too, but I don't have an exact number. In both cases, I just keep coming back and starting over with a fresh set of mods.

I passed 520 hours last night in Stardew Valley

Somehwere between 3000-4000 hours, 23 years of playing persistent worlds on Neverwinter Nights.

Most of that occurred between 2002-2010. It was legit a gaming addiction.

Slay The Spire: 850 hours. I feel like I'll never get bored at a retirement home because I'll just keep playing Slay The Spire. It'll be my mahjong equivalent.

Almost 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014. Yes, I still suck.

World of Warcraft since 2004. Why measure in hours when you can measure in years?

3,000 - Oblivion

That's spread over 40 or so characters, and dating all the way back to 2006.

Ignoring idle games and MMO's for obvious reasons, ~2k hours in each Factorio and Rimworld, followed by 1k in KSP.

13,027 hours and counting - Final Fantasy XI

I'd rather not say exactly how many hours, but it's Factorio so... a lot.

5 figures and counting on Factorio. Do not recommend, gets somewhat repetitive after a while.

It is a toss up between Starcraft Brood War and Minecraft. I stopped counting at 30,000 starcraft games and Ive played minecraft since java classic

According to my Steam account, it's Satisfactory with 823.4 hours played. Runner up: Team Fortress 2 with 547.5 hours.

I'm not sure that count is accurate for games I've owned a long time like the Half Life series; I KNOW I have more than Steam's claimed 32 hours in Half Life 2, and I absolutely have more time than the 12.1 hours logged in Half Life 1.

I'm kinda curious about certain SNES games like A Link to the Past, which I've played over and over since they were new. I bet I have a thousand hours in at least one SNES game.

I've got 2222.1 (and counting) hours into Oxygen Not Included. Though it spends a fair a bit of time running in the background.

14,388.7 hours in Cookie Clicker. 100% achievements in just under two years.

I have put more hours into Planetside 2 than is even reasonable for how fucking bad I still am at that game.

World of Warcraft no doubt. About 2500 hours per year and been active for 12-ish years.

War thunder is probably second at about 3.5k hours.

I have no way of estimating Diablo 2 or Starcraft 2 or Baldurs gate 2.

Duke Nukem 3D.

Started installing and playing friday afternoon around 4pm, get to the end of the game around 6am next saturday.

14 hours in a row. It was 30 years ago, never again.

One time as a kid I played a game of Monopoly with my Uncle and cousins that took like 5 hours. I never played Monopoly with them ever again. Don't play Monopoly against a banker, the game quickly becomes way too serious

3.7 years of WoW... but I'm sure I had more time playing the Quake/halflife games/mods.

Probably chess. I have tens of thousands of games on all the separate accounts I use online, not counting over the board games- both casual and tournament. Also game analysis, reading chess books, and watching chess videos.

I have no way of estimating but I'm certain we're in the thousands of hours region.

Not as impressive as the other ones but 170h in Project Zomboid. Waiting for build 42 to play again.

Arma 3, 1,234 hours according to Steam.

2,184 hours in Factorio, and possibly more in Minecraft, I just don't have a record.

This is over the course of 9 years. I haven't played in a couple months now, (the aug 22 last played was just me entering my house so it doesn't get demolished) but the itch will come back. It always does.

2100 Binding of Isaac Rebirth

I am not exaggerating when I say I have 10k+ hours into fallout new Vegas. I've got 600 hours since November alone.

1100 fallout 4. Just edging out Factorio with 1000 hours.

Elite Dangerous, 1,041 hours.

I played a lot during the lockdowns when they closed everything, even stuff like the ski resorts. It's how I met my SO, we are gonna celebrate our second anniversary soon.

I've moved on to other games, but sometimes I still gotta hop into elite and explore the stars and do some combat in VR. So much fun :)

It ignited my interest in space, seeing some of our wildest stars and the core of our galaxy.

497 hours in Satisfactory

I'm not sure how many hours, but definitely Dark Age of Camelot

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021

I had >5000 hours in WoW by 2007, haven't checked since.

5,423 in elder scrolls online... In 2 years.

I'm pretty sure I played up a lot more.
