How many hours each day do you spend playing ESO ?

I was curious about how much time you all spend playing ESO. The poll's anonymous, by the way 
For the last 2 weeks, I've been in the 3rd category, averaging about 4.5 hours per day, more than my usual average of about 2-3.

✭Daily, I play about 20 to 30 minutes early morning + another 10 to 20 minutes later during the afternoon if I get the time. I then add about 30 minutes at the top of that one or twice a week. Altogether, that should give a daily average around 1h30 I think. Probably rather less (usual side note: ESO isn't my main game).Edited by DreamyLu on December 17, 2022 4:58AMI'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message... PC/NA0 -

endgamesmug✭✭✭✭About 15 hours a day the last few years, previous to that it was 2 hours after work each day doing writs.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It can vary a good bit depending on what's going on in my life, what's going on in the game (that is, endeavors, events, or just questing or fighting things), and how much I'm currently interested in playing one of the other games in the main TES series. Also, I play on two servers each day, typically during two separate play sessions. I think I might have played longer each day back before I started playing on two servers, but that would probably be because everything was so new to me and I wanted to complete every quest as I encountered it while running around all across Tamriel.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -
Nightowl_74✭✭✭Typically, about forty five-minutes, but it depends on how much time I have and it isn't my main game so if there's something going on there ESO usually takes a backseat.0 -
bmnoble✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Normally between 1 and 2 hours a day.
During a chapter or DLC release or a double XP event or if I feel like taking an alt through older content, I sometimes play up to 8 hours a day, just depends how I feel and what is happening in real life.1 -
robwolf666✭✭✭✭✭It varies from day to day depending on how much time I have. With that in mind, I couldn't choose one of the options.1

✭✭✭✭✭Generally 7-8 hours, except for days I have to make the long round trips to some town or other. Since I don't really run into bugs, and since Oakensoul made my combat life better, I'm still playing as much as I always have.______________________________________________________

✭Zero...I still log in now and then and try PvP but I find myself spending more time trying to like it than actually enjoying it. It's just habit really, and that's dying off too. Haven't logged in for weeks now. I miss my guildies, but most of them aren't playing anymore either.
Maybe next year.5 -
Dr_Con✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Usually a few hours on weekends at least.
I try not to get sucked into doing writs. There are many more rewarding dailies I could do that don't eat all my time. Very lame to have such time consuming elements in the game, I feel really bad for console players for not having writ crafters.
When I'm in the mood to PVP, i'll play as many hours as it takes

✭✭✭Right now, anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes. I do the daily writs and daily endeavors, with a little extra gameplay thrown in when I feel like it.0 -

✭I'm surprised because I thought the numbers would be higher.
About 2 hours for me also... But I would play more if I could lol.0 -
Castagere✭✭✭✭✭When I was younger I could play for hours and not notice how much time went by. Today I would say 2 hours tops.0 -
Danikat✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I don't know exactly, but I know my average for GW2 is about 2 hours a day and I play ESO a bit less, so I picked the first option.
But the reality is it's very variable. Some days I won't log in at all, either because I'm not home or just because I'm doing other things. Other days I might play for 3 or 4 hours in total. I would very rarely hit 5 hours in one day, because I don't do that in any game.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

laurajf✭✭✭Usually no more than an hour, but most days I don't even do that much.
I work on the computer all day for work. I know how unhealthy it is to sit in front of a computer all day, especially as I get older, so I set a timer to remind myself to stand up and walk around for a couple minutes every hour or so.
By the time I'm done working, my eyes/body/brain don't always feel like continuing to sit in front of the computer to play the game. I rarely do anything in the game any more that requires too much time, so my gameplay is extremely casual.

peacenote✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I can't game every day!
Usually play 2 - 3 days a week, and those play sessions are 3 - 4 hours. During events I try to log on additional days just to snag the tickets but am not always successful.0 -
Jarndyce✭✭✭My time varies. I get on and try to do my endeavors each day. During events I try to get my tickets. I run dungeons with a few friends from time to time. Still enjoy doing story content. I have played casually since beta, so nine years give or take. I work full time so am busy with life. Love ESO.0 -

About 2 hours for me also... But I would play more if I could lol.
Well, I chose 6-to-8 but it probably should have been higher. As I said, I play on 2 servers each day, and I typically play for 3-5 hours on each, so that's 6-10 hours total. But there are days when I play longer than that, or when I play less than that, so it's difficult to get an average.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -
Kng_Ayumayuma✭✭✭I get sick of killing killing killing. This festival has been nice.
Plus ran out Oct31. I haven't played much since then. Log in and up my horse (x9). Craft when necessary (x2). Go out wondering around collecting sky shards.
I'll be fighting more while the +100% exp thing is going.0 -

✭✭I used to play 4-8 hours/day. I used to play three accounts, one for each faction. Now I play one account, up to 2 hours/day provided my raid group is running, and after 8 years of paying ESO+ I had to cancel the sub when U35 was on PTS.
Now I'm so disillusioned with ZOS that if they don't fix ESO I will never again purchase a ZOS product, no matter how enticing the hype is because I know it will still be the same customer service and PR routine.3 -
wenchmore420b14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I have, to date, over 12.5k hrs in ESO. I used to play 4-6 hrs on days I had to go to work.
Days off, 8, 10, or even more hours.
Relocating due to career made me cut back my playing a bit, but I still played whenever I could.
Then came AWA. I was lucky if I felt like playing 1 or 2 hrs a day. All my alts I used to play? Yea, what's the point now.
Then came UD35.
No need to say more about that.
I love ESO and have "lived" in Tamriel since 2003. I spent more time studying Lore, etc that I can't even count. I still play every day, kinda sorta. Do my dailies on my main.
I'm still hopeful for 2023 though. Yes, I know. How silly of me, but I still love this game.
Huzzah!
