So, how long do we REALLY spend on Runescape?

[Xg4m3r]

NOTE: If you don't want to find out just how much time you spend on Rs, press "back", NOW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other day, I was just wondering how much of my time I actually spend on Runescape, and no i'm not going to tell you. We play Runescape because it's fun, has a great community and models a realistic economy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say someone played runescape for two hours after school or work each day. Over the course of a working week, if this playing time was maintained, that would mean a time of 10 hours, now if we factor in the weekends in which players may spend anywhere from 2-8 hours on runescape on either or both of the days, that means an average of 10 hours a week-end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, if we take 10 hours in the week, and 10 hours on the week-end, we have a shocking figure of 20 hours playtime for a full 7-day week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, if we take a lunar month (4 weeks) we find that 80 hours of Rs has been used in this time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, as far as we've got.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One week- 20 hours

 

 

 

One month- Roughly 80 hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we then factor in breaks, roughly one week per two consecutive months. We can find that players could spend an extended time on Rs comparable to that of a week-end. In extreme conditions, players could play for an average of 5 hours a day for all 7 days, this is however not so likely, a more resonable figure would be about 4 hours a day, if not much less.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, 4 hours a day in a week of the break. 28 hours in a holiday, add that on to two times the rough month play time (160 hours) and subtract a week (20 hours) to conpensate, (160-20 = 140, + 28 = 168), we find that a true monthly figure of play time can be as much as 168 hours per two months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, with this new data, let's figure some facts out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One month: 84 hours

 

 

 

One week: (84/4) 21 hours

 

 

 

One day: Still roughly 3 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One year: (84x6) 504 hours.

 

 

 

Two years: 1008 hours

 

 

 

Three years: 2016 hours

 

 

 

Four years: 4032 hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are 8766 hours in one year.

 

 

 

(365 days x 24 hours + the 1/4 day (6 hours)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, that's roughly 1/16 of a year spent playing Runescape. Obviously these figures are FAR from perefectly true, but they give you an idea of just how long we can spend playing MMORPG's such as Runescape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments please.

 

 

 

Xg.

Those are some INSANE figures...

 

 

 

I feel sorry for no-lifers. :|

[pandaownage]

i dont get it lol its a snow day dont make me think

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ot: i have had a 5 day weekend 2 snowdays and sick one day

[Tbfgraphx14]

I averged it out to 1400 hours total on my account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 hours daily= 700 days (I've been playing for around 400) the days in the summer I played make up for the rest.

[Pikemaster25]

Wow...I play more than that.. :oops:

[Guest Cosinus]

In WoW they have a special /played command which displays the total amount of days/hours you've been online. When I quit with WoW I had 150 days played, quite scary. :o

[Harrington]

I don't see the harm if it's something you enjoy though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consider people who watch a lot of television? They probably spend way more time doing that than we play RS. At least double I'd say.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, using your model...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TV : 1680hrs year (5 hrs per day) - 19%

 

 

 

Work : 2080hrs year (8 hours per day for 52 weeks) - 24%

 

 

 

School : 1500hrs year - 17%

 

 

 

Commuting : 520hrs year (2 horus per day) - 6%

 

 

 

Sleeping : 2555hrs year (7 per night) - 29%

 

 

 

Eating : 520hrs year (2 horus per day) - 6%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you consider that... the time we spend doing something we enjoy, it's not that bad lol

[Xg4m3r]

Where the "hell" did you get me saying it was bad from? I would play more rs if there were hours in a day!

Report him then, kids, remember, the report button is your freind : On topic, that is some insane amount of hours! :shock: How long did it take to figure it all out :-k

[dude_of_war4]

and people say i play runescape too much :?

[fearspudgod]

To long...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Shudders*

[Pure_Skillse]

i play about 12 hours on weekends and 5 on weekdays

[Noproblem22]

Well say what you will, but I have been playing Guild Wars for a while. Since the beginning of last September, I've raked in about 1100 hours played...that's what, 220 hours a month...about 8 hours a day. What can I say, you do what you like to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll probably be playing Runescape that much now because I am on a Guild Wars break.

[Kennypelesic]

I play like:

 

 

 

-Monday 4 hours

 

 

 

-Tuesday 6 hours

 

 

 

-Wednesday 6 hours

 

 

 

- Thursday 4 hours

 

 

 

- Friday 6 hours

 

 

 

- Sathurday 8-11 hours:P

 

 

 

- Sunday 8-9 hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Depends on homework, school etc.

[Halo0630]

I play more than that... I barely read what you said for the fact its a snow day and that I don't feel like learning... :

[The_Dragon_Reborn]

Math is hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used to play crazy like that. Over a 4-Day weekend (96 hours) I playe 63 Hours. I spent twice as much time playing Runescape, then not playing. :ohnoes:
