    Probably still World of Warcraft. When I quite around 2010, I had close to 700 days /played time on my main, and another 400 days between various alts.

      Hang on. WoW came out in 2004. So in 6 years you played 3 years in-game? 12 hours a day, every single day for 6 solid years? Were you on disability? Because after sleeping, that doesn’t leave much time for work or school.

        2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That’s how I learned programming.

        There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.

      Definitely WoW for me back in the day too, in the 400 day range across my main and alts. These days No Man’s Sky in the 400 hour category. Things change when you become a parent, but I still try to find time to play games.

        Yeah, the amount of time you had as a student sure was amazing. These days it’s more like a few hours a month.
