Hi all. Yesterday I was walking home from work, and was thinking a bit about GW. That morning I crafted my first rare items (level 35 armour and weapons). So, as I do read these GW forums a lot, I thought about played time. How much do I have. How much does an average GW player has, and so on.
So, let us do this. A bit of fun math.
This game is out for, lets say, 2 months. If we round a month to 30 days, that would be 60 days. So, remember 60.
A day has 24 hours, so that would be a total of 1440 hours to play over that period of time. So, if for 60 days, you ONLY played GW2 that would be a total of 1440 hours played.
But, considering some of us are humans, we need some sleep. If you sleep for 8 hours per day, that would be 480 hours of sleep in 60 days. So, that reduces the potential play time to 960. Seems a lot still.
But, some of us humans, even have to work. If you work for 8 hours a days, 5 days per week, that’s another 320 hours to reduce from the total potential play time. So, now we’re at 640 hours of play time.
Lets stop here, and do a small conclusion.
- Let us presume, you are human
- If you sleep 8 hours per day
- If you work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, with free weekends
= you’re potential play time for 60 days would be 640 hours. So, what is your total play time?
Now, lets complicate our life a bit. You sleep 8 hours, you work 8 hours. Now, you need to get ready and to work and back from work. Lets say that will take 1 hour of your time each day, 5 days per week. That’s 40 hours for 60 days. We’re now at 600 potential hours.
Now, you’re left with 7 hours of free time during the weekdays, and 16 hours over the weekends. Meaning Mon – Fri = 35 hours per week, and Sat – Sun = 32 hours per week.
In other words, during one week, you get 67 hours of potential game time. If you multiply this with 8 weeks (60 days) that would be 536 hours.
Another small summary.
- You are human
- You sleep 8 hours per day
- You work 5 days per week, for 8 hours
- You have free weekends
- You need to get ready to work and go to work and back from work
= that would sum up to 536 potential hours to play GW2. Are you anywhere near this number?
Now, if you put social life, eating, showering, boyfriend/girlfriend, sports, family, etc, in the equation, where would you end up? Bellow 500 hours of potential play time during 60 days of GW2.
And I do hear some people have easily cracked over 500-600 hours. Do you know what that means?
If you work, all your spare time is used on GW (hope you do shower). If you don’t work, well, get a job.
(a bit of humour)
Anyways, this is not a thread to tell anyone what to do with their time. Just a small brain excersise. A bit..
Thoughts?
