    Yo Yo Yo!

    Genuinely intrigued as to your general day to day UOR Hours.

    If you want to elaborate on your in game activities or how you spend your time in game go for it homies!

    Votes are private as default but again feel free to publicly state yours if you want as well as voting.

    I probably play an average of 1-2 actual hours a day but I'll be in and out all day too, sometimes I'll only be around for an idoc and other times I'll settle down for a 4+ hour binge if something cool is happening.

    These days, About 10 mins in the morning to grab my BODs before work. And another 2-3 hours later that night at the most. Maybe a little more on weekends if I got nothing better to do. That ore ain't gonna mine itself.

    For my first three years here I was on like 8-16hrs a day most days. It was pretty bad/good.

    I've had probably three or four absences over the last 3.5-4years for a couple months at a time.

    I'm semi retired now:
    - I often go days without doing much except I forum and discord/irc everyday for several hours.
    - I do play at least weekly and I usually sit down to do one thing from collect bods or bank sit and wait for oranges and then for the next 10 hours I have done a champs pvp idoc farm session.

    My goal was/is to chat on apps, log in and sync drop with someone or get dropped and log out and leave it at that. I never found that balance, I'm all in wide open when I am on, never had and maybe never will have control.

    HOLY SHIT :eek:

    How old are you and what do you do for work? (Genuinely curious, not trolling)

    Also, I spend an hour a day, at most. Sometimes every other day.

    I play on average 2-3 hours, 2-4 days a week, nothing crazy.

    Prior to playing here it had been 14 years since I played any form of UO, so to keep UO fun and semi-fresh for me I try to play other games in-between.

    Super interesting responses so far - keep em coming. I wish I'd been more specific with the "I have a problem" option now.

    Just FYI there's no judgement, I don't know any of your deals IRL. I could spend 12 hours a day playing if I let myself/girlfriend let me. Hah

    I started the thread because, like I said, I'm intrigued and I'm also considering doing something wild sometime soon. I want to play for 12 hours straight - farming. To see how much money could be made in a 12 hour session.

    I'm daily 1-4 hours depending on family, weather and work obligations. I consider this my television/relaxing time in the evenings. Granted this game nearly causes heart attacks on a weekly basis. I also have a wonderful job that lets me log in if I'm not busy. I normally monitor IRC while working at my desk to try to help new players. I don't discord, I like the nostalgia of playing this game with only text as communication. I would also like to state that the server and community is what really makes this game for me.

    As much as it pains me to admit it, there's no option for the little amount that I play. I'm generally in the 2-3 hours a WEEK category at the moment due to my busy schedule. If I could, I would certainly play every day, and for as many hours as I could muster.

    Even though I can't play as much as I'd like, I still enjoy hopping on casually when I can.

    1-3 hours but not daily. Busy with work, family, etc.

    I play a few afternoons a week, and I try to play on the weekends for a few hours.

    In between my actual play time, I macro a stable of characters that I will probably never use lol.

    I do plan on putting some time in for the holiday events coming up. This will be my first halloween/thanksgiving/Christmas trifecta of holiday event goodness.

    Usually ~45min a day Monday-Friday at the moment. I'll occasionally get a few hours in on the weekend if the wife is MIA.

    At my peak I was doing around 2 hours a day.

    2014-2015 anywhere from 2-4 hours a day, usually 5-6 days a week
    2015/2016 was when I went DEEEEEEP in UO:R when I took my first Guildmaster role. It was a naturalist semi-rp guild and great googly moogly some days were 10+ hours, no less than 5. If it wasn't for school/relationship I probably would still be online that much. 90% of that guild was on European time, and I was there almost every day being engaged with them, hanging/helping out.


    Nowadays it's 2-3ish hours a week until some of these dang sports die down. between 2 kids it's 8-10 practices and 2-4 games a week. At least they're great kiddos!


    I had a fort and 3 keeps on greatly this week...yikes.

    @Earsnot Heh, oh yeah I can definitely sink in a whole day of UO with no problem. Especially in the Winter when you would rather stay in.
    Time just flies when you play and you don't even realise it is suddenly uh...3am in the morning :p

    I normally have my characters logged in 24/7 to collect platinum rewards and hop on before and after work to collect BODs and do some quick house mining. I look forward to when a day is available one weekend to complete the shit out of those BODs.
