    Well, I spent 19 hours straight on Shor (PC NA) today from Tuesday 8 AM EST through to Wednesday 3 AM EST, with only 3 food-breaks in between! (waffles, cheetos, and pasta!)

    So, uh, 19 hours in a 24-hour day, probably too much ESO time.

    But I am #1 on Shor DC leaderboards right now. :)

    And if you're going to offer me a cookie for my consistency, I'll have you know that I prefer Oreo Megastuf. Just the stuf.

    Some of you Blueberries in Shor are tough:-) You may have killed me a time or twenty lol

    Around kids, probably approx 2 hours a day if I'm lucky, so 18 hours a week max. Only get a couple of hours once they settle in the evenings really.

      Pretty much the same for me between tending to my son's every need, taking care of all the daily doing; laundry, grocery shopping, making food, cleaning and working on my master's degree thesis.

      Some weeks a bit less than 20 hours and other weeks a bit more - depending on how much my son and fiancee is home.

      Hardly ever more than two hours at a time though - so anything involving me playing with friends in the game which isn't carefully planned many days ahead is pretty much impossible.

      I don't play any other games or have other hobbies, but I have a full time job. It's pretty exhausting maintaining a daily ESO play schedule, but I need to since I'm keen on improving. For example I started doing trials 3-4 evenings each week with the guild, keeping my crafting writs going on 14 characters and getting the books and skill points on my 6th character. I'll see what I prioritize when Summerset drops; I was thinking about jewelry crafting initially, but when I read the fine print I realized it doesn't seem too rewarding, considering the amount of work it takes, so I'll probably stick to my ongoing schedule and try to squeeze in the DLC content during the week ends, at least on my Stamina DK. Doing the new trial is out of the question since I've heard is extremely buggy; I haven't done vHoF yet, and progressing towards vMoL HM and vAS +1/2 will take precedence over that. For the latter my DK will receive a total makeover to his tanking setup.

      It depends, honestly. I don't work, but I take care of my mother. On weeks where I don't have to as much and on days when everything is caught up it can be a whole lot more. But I also play other games a bit when friends are on. Don't have any ESO buddies atm lol.
      But on easy days or weeks, the time can spike to 20-30 for that week.

      Early retirement and a determination to stay single has it's benefits, (this is my life now, everyone else can bum willy toilet).

      If it's raining or cold I'm in ESO, if the sun's shining I'm out on the motorbike, usually trying to get lost coz that's how you find the best roads and the nicest places.

      Sleep and food get slotted in as and when needed :)

      About one hour per week, doing daily crafting writs mostly. I'm not interested in the game right now, maybe after Summerset will arrive I'll play more.

      Really tells how good this game is.
