    More than I should, less than I wanted. Much, much less than I wanted :(
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I wish there were more hours in the day... I'd love to play more, but I can't compromise time from my family, job, and other responsibilities. Don't get me wrong though, on my time off when everyone is either away or asleep, I'm trying my best to make up for time lost.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Thought about having a family and career section in place of the I have a life option. Sometimes I have to go a whole month before logging on again.

    Thought this poll would be interesting because I've heard going for Emp takes 10-20 hours each day. No way I could ever commit to that kind of time, so I wanted to know what people usually average for any given week.

    I get around 5 hours of gaming on Sunday, and I sneak in an hour here and there throughout the week. Realistically it's around 10 hours but sometimes I get more. Can't wait for this semester to be over lol

    Way... way too much.

    Though, I'm semi-AFK a lot of the time- just sitting there, doing chores around the house, playing for a couple min, going and doing other stuff...

    The game is on the majority of the day though.

    If its in the lull between story content, and no shadows of the hist does not count, then its about an hour or so a day, writs and the like or just a general stroll and some in game photography if there are no quests left. If a new zone full of stories turns up then this can hit 40hrs no problem. With the revamped craglorn coming up I fear my spare time is about to take a serious hammering :D

    I don't grind at all, just play multiple characters each day:
    30 minutes to do the crafting writs and harvest the nodes on 3-4 characters
    20 minutes to log on 4 characters, manage inventory and train riding, provisioning and enchanting (I put all glyphs in the bank and deconstruct them when it's full)
    10 minutes lost to loading screen between characters
    2 hours on my main, split about evenly between PvE and PvP (when SotH is gold almost all is PvE since I have to redo the dungeon multiple due to unskilled PuGs)
    2-3 hours leveling my alts, up to 8 hours in the week end.

    So it's 5-6 hours a day during week days, 10-11 hours in the week ends.
    Weekly total 45-60 hours

    It varies a lot. Given how long I have been playing and total time on all characters, it comes out to around 20 hours a week. However, I have times like last weekend when a friend stayed over and the wife took our kid out that I got in a ton, then an hour or so a day on weekdays. If my wife is out of town, I get a lot in. But most of the time my son gets more time while I am doing other things. Most weeks are probably around 10 hours.

    It depends on what else I'm doing. Currently I have several other MMOs and CRPGs on the go and ESO is probably running behind the others at only a few hours a week, but at other times it can be my main game and then run to perhaps 20 hours a week. I have no sense of urgency with ESO, I know it's a game I'll be happily playing for years and that I'll enjoy it all the more for not playing it hardcore. In any event, being retired I'm far busier than I was when working and so I don't have the time to devote to gaming that I once had, not that I've ever believed that spending vast amounts of time sat at the computer was a particularly productive way of life!

    These seem to be unrelated. Unless its all you do all day, forums just take a few minutes once in a while. The game is for some people a huge time sink.
