If you spent as much time as you spend on this game building on a real life skill, what would you be able to do by now?
I'd have learned app development by now.

I think my logged hours on WOW alone was 2 years play time LOL
5
Got me beat, I was close to hitting about 1 year, whenever I see the void in family photo albums wondering where I was I remember that I may as well just print out WoW screen shots and place them there instead.
And I still thought WoW Vanilla was the best WoW experience, the expansions just ruined the PvP style that I liked, removed it from the world at large, and just forced players to play the PvE game. Vanilla was the best because the direction you could take the game was undefined, it was just whatever you and friends wanted to do.

Yea but you would look sick in your OG T3 Dreadnaught while riding Invincible.
1
I was a mage for far longer than I should have been, should have started my rogue in vanilla, maybe I would have enjoyed the game longer.
Also WoW just wasn't the PvP game I was hoping it would have been. Albeit it they make a battle ground only version of WoW I might be tempted to play it.
Did deck out a Gnome Death Knight in the WoW:BC alt-color T2 paladin set with the Blue Lightsaber Blades in both main and Off-Hand. Riding a chopper of course.
Looked sic-as-f*ck. And then I got a girl friend and life goals, and stopped life goals cause effort sucks and now play FFBE :(

Wasn't so bad for me. Played it with all RL friends, but it was madness how long it lasted.
1
Yea, I played it with a bunch of internet buddies and I did meet a few people IRL who I met first on WoW. My roommates at the time also played the game, but we all played on different servers and had different schedules.
Any game needs to have a good community behind it, WoW just required too much schedule rigidity for me, so I was never able to join a raiding guild and missed nearly all the end game content. I finally did Mount Hyjal solo, at the beginning of Mist of Panderia, because I had never seen it before.
I finally quit in early Mist of Panderia but was only there for about 1/2 of WotLK and Cataclysm.
1
One thing for sure. WoW marked the death of MMO. Anyone that ever play pretty much picked up MMO phobia afterward.
1
Damn, so you never got to the end game huh? :P
2
nerver do the maths! trust me! NEVER!
3
Typing /played is just asking for an emotional crisis.
2
done it once. will never do it again!
1
I don't even want to know what it will be now if I kept playing. Most likely 5 years play time.
1
Most likely FOREVER
1
Oh man, don't ever type /played, instant sadness :(
1
It really was the worst feature ever created by any game!
2
Yeah, I was just over three years logged in. Crazy... when the first and second expansions came out me and a few of my buddies in the guild played 20 hour days on average for the first two weeks. I was the first druid on the server to hit cap both times. And our guild was the first to down many bosses. We all got way too burned out from playing like that.
FFBE is like a vacation compared to that shit.
1
The problem with these games is the bill. I think I spend around $3000 on one piece...
1
Agree and whenever I get tired of FFBE I just put in on macro.
1
That's my favorite part about FFBE. It's easy to bot (and condoned by the dev) so I can take a break anytime I want.
1
Masturbate just through thought. No physical stimulation would be required
5
Let's be honest... that shit died out in the early 90s. The minute you could send bitmap porn via the internet, it was over.
2
Im not talking about just using your imagination to get off. In talking about just willing an ejaculation without touching yourself at all
2
If you ever reach true enlightenment, allow me to become your first student.
I think it'd make a fantastic party trick.
2
Now that would really be something.
1
Oh, if only I could macro the working part of my life and farm money....
5
I don't know, it kinda doesn't work that way. I only work hard on the things I enjoy. Which happens to be gaming, rip.
2

Play the ukulele

"How to end maintenance on schedule".
1
Study for my university exams that I have after hollydays
1
Dude... Priorities..
2
would master my SQL skills (the thing i hate more then the extended maintenance).
1
select *
from my_units
where base_rarity = 5
No results found.
3
you came to the wrong neighbourdatabase motherfucker!
2
Easy there Donger
1
that's not (close to) master level though... :)
but i respect the effort even though i don't want to look at it T.T
But tbh, the lack of excellent SQL skills costed me a job at a betting company (as a java developer), so even though i hate it i will need to master it... (they asked for something much much more complicated then a simple search of a table :) ).
1
I'd tour with Paul Gilbert or become his successor
1
Paul Gilbert is the shit.
Im STILL working on perfecting 'Technical Difficulties '
But yeah, id be touring with Jeff Loomis and Chris Broderick.
2
Damn right, bruv! I'm trying to nail Viking Kong flawlessly but holy fuck, that solo is from another dimension. Or rather, Paul is from another dimension. Loomis and Broderick are the tits too!
1
I'll be a freaking good carpenter. Always wanted my very own custom kitchen cabinet, today decent workmanship is very expensive.
1
That's because it takes a long time to get good. And you need good tools. It's not impossible though. I was a carpenter and handy man for a while... just takes some smarts and trial and error.
1
I might be able to both walk and chew gum at the same time. Maybe. (I play a few minutes here and there while I'm waiting for people at work.... I'm a chauffeur with the car service so I do a lot of waiting)
1
Get better as web designer?I've no idea
1
I'd be a good Artist and Rock Climber. Seriously, look at me! This body was made for Rock Climbing! Even though i hate climbing things. I also hate heights.
1
Would've spent the time drawing and painting probably. Thanks for making me feel bad op.
1
Speak fluent French and Chinese.
1
If I added all my gamer + weeabo + otaku hours together I would have redefined the human experience by now.
1
I'd probably have learned enough Japanese to take the N4 exam.
1
sungha jung level guitar/ukulele playing
1
Buy more lapis
1
I'd probably be a slightly better chef.
Now, if you wanna talk about my CS, WoW, Diablo, and Civ combined playtime... I'm pretty sure I'd have cured cancer by now.
I would have cured cancer on Mars... if we include CS, SCBW, Dota, Turok, Rampage, Doom
Oh my god Turok. You're taking me back man.
Turok, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye... life was swell
My buddy and I rented Rampage with the intent of staying up all night to beat it. We tossed in the towel at like 4 AM. Does that game even have an end??!!
If turok came out in 2016 it would rustle some jimmies.
3k hours only on Diablo! Would be speaking japanese, chinese and german by now D:
don't forget Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout 1,2, then add JRPGs, more MMOs (FF XI, FF XIV)... like no... don't think about it at all... it's a trap...
Well, on the bright side, if you cured cancer you would then be assassinated or just go missing.
We don't need cure for cancer. Humanity need cure for boredom.
