This is mainly directed at the old fogies like me that have to hold down steady jobs, school, children, or subsequent combinations/variations, and who are still planning on grinding away when they have the time. I'm just curious how much you guys think you'll squeeze in on a weekly basis.

With my calculations, I have roughly 58 free hours a week after work and sleep, and after all the other day-to-day things I'll have far less than that. I'm thinking around 12 for me. Anyone else?

Probably like 12 or so hours a week. But that might be hard to do with school, work, and the gym =o

I'm going to have alot of responsibilities too, plus I'd rather hang out with friends than play videogames. I have over 1200 hours on PSO for gamecube, but that was back when I was unhealthily addicted to videogames. I'm hoping to get an hour a day but I probably won't even manage that on some weeks.

Going got college is not as easy as it seems http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif. It actually takes some of your time:), which sucks.

Seriously, I won't be on too much or my education will suffer like it did with PSO.

I may not be an old fogie, but I have a job and school and family to attend to. No I dont have children, but you'd understand if you walked into my house hahah. Not to mention hanging out with friends. Im looking at 10 hours a week if im lucky.

81+ lol

Besides, all my schoolwork is done over the net so I'll probably be playing PSU while doing schoolwork.

Multitasking FTW

I'll probably manage 80 hours a week for the first few weeks, one of the perks of being the boss is taking time off for stupid stuff http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

after the first few weeks I'll probably get about 14 a week in =(

As many as i can fit in i suppose, get no overtime for a couple of months, so only 13 hours a week at work, and about 19 at college, which leaves me with quite abit of time.

Steady 9-5 job, 6pm-12am gametime + weekends. Ouch thats 40+. Oh well it will be worth it eventually. Hope I don't die though like that Korean guy in that Starcraft Tournament. He played 48 hours straight with no rest, food, drink, or restroom break. =/

A day at LEAST an hour...study first play after....but when next summer comes...I plan at least 15 hours a day

Niki

Yes, unfortunately for me I'll be one of those guys who, 6 months into the game, will still be grinding my first job @ Level 20 or so. It's sad to watch everyone fly by you, but with a great game I don't feel so bad.

I hate to be the one to say it, but everyone who voted for 81+ needs to seriously reconsider their priorities in life. 41+ is also unhealthily obsessive.

for the first weekend it comes out i plan to pay the whole weekend but after that reality kicks in again and i get to play what maybe a few hrs a week.

I don't have school right now, I work 40 hrs a week and I really only have to dedicate time to my wife. So, seeing as I can ignore that whole "sleeping" thing, I put in for 41-80. This is definite for at bare minimum the first month, after that I'll have to drop down to more reasonable times or burnout and not play for a few weeks, lol.

EDIT: Ok, I don't think I can pull off the 41-80 for 1 month like I used to (damn you EverCrack and PhatCrack), probably only a week or two before I drop down to the next bracket. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

close to 40hrs a week probably, spread out between Monday-Thurs with about 5 hrs a day, then Friday ( if Im not out with people ) all night--> Saturday, but probably only play for about 2 hrs on Sunday. Definatly not 81+, and only 41-80+ if I were to have summer break or a week off from school. Then I'd hit the 41-80 mark

I can't hold as many hours as I'd like to. I got school, work, sleep, life, etc.

At most I think i would be able to do would be like 25 hrs, but tha'd be pushing it.

I'll be playing everyday as much as I possibly can, responsibilities aside of course. It all depends who I run into online.

I have a steady 9-5 job as well and weekends off so I'll be playing 20 hours a week at the minimum. Maybe more if the rest of my time isn't taken up by my family and friends!

As I'm sure somebody here can relate, college will tear chunks out of my time. So I'll guess it'll fluctuate between 10min and 30max per week. Perhaps a bit more on weekends.

Gonna be graduating from college this Dec.. so i'll have some more time.. but I'm gonna have a wife as well and not sure how she's gonna react to me playing a lot of games after I get home from work....

prolly around 10/week hopefully

Marukun
Aug 30, 2006, 08:01 AM
hmm, in all honesty, I'd be lucky to squeeze in an hour during weekdays. Weekends, maybe sunday i can spend some extra time, but overall, definitely under 8 hours a week.

Damn, how easy high school and college used to be http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif or maybe japanese people just work too much http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Even with college I'd say at least 20 hours a week. Probably more. Especially trying to burn through story mode to unlock everything for extra mode since I'm currently on a dial-up connection. No network mode for me yet http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
