Roughly 30 000 hours in WoW. I've been playing it since 2005 - mostly active, only a couple of 1-6 month breaks.

Quick approximation - let's just ignore the exact dates:

  • 18 years * 365 = 6570 days
  • 30000 hours / 6570 days = ~4.57 hours/day

During the last 18 years, I've played an average of 4h 34min of WoW every day.

In other words: if I sleep 8 hours a day, during the last 18 years, I've spent about 28% of my waking hours playing WoW.

While I'm at it: I'm 34 years old. I have spent roughly 10% of my life playing WoW.

jfc lmao


Other MMOs: Guild Wars 1 & 2, FFXIV, are all between 1000-1500 hours each.

Outside of MMOs, the #1 is probably Trackmania (2020) at ~600 hours.

Slay The Spire: 850 hours. I feel like I'll never get bored at a retirement home because I'll just keep playing Slay The Spire. It'll be my mahjong equivalent.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Almost 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014. Yes, I still suck.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

World of Warcraft since 2004. Why measure in hours when you can measure in years?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same same. It's something disgusting too like 4+ years.

Other than that one probably football manager at like 2k hours.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'd rather not say exactly how many hours, but it's Factorio so... a lot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a toss up between Starcraft Brood War and Minecraft. I stopped counting at 30,000 starcraft games and Ive played minecraft since java classic

According to my Steam account, it's Satisfactory with 823.4 hours played. Runner up: Team Fortress 2 with 547.5 hours.

I'm not sure that count is accurate for games I've owned a long time like the Half Life series; I KNOW I have more than Steam's claimed 32 hours in Half Life 2, and I absolutely have more time than the 12.1 hours logged in Half Life 1.

I'm kinda curious about certain SNES games like A Link to the Past, which I've played over and over since they were new. I bet I have a thousand hours in at least one SNES game.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Minecraft. Probably over 15,000 hours playing servers modpacks, developing mods. It's been 13 years now!?!

3,545 hrs in Rimworld. Minecraft is probably up there too, but I don't have an exact number. In both cases, I just keep coming back and starting over with a fresh set of mods.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

World of Warcraft no doubt. About 2500 hours per year and been active for 12-ish years.

War thunder is probably second at about 3.5k hours.

I have no way of estimating Diablo 2 or Starcraft 2 or Baldurs gate 2.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to put the in context, you would need to play every single day for roughly 6.8 hours in order to rack up 2500 hours in a year.

To further contextualize, in the U.S. a full time job, that is a job wherein one works a combination of days each week (typically 5 8-hour days but sometimes 4 10-hour days) is around 40 hours each week, or 2080 hours a year.

The typical worker also takes vacation, sick days, etc equaling between 1-3 weeks each year. Meaning they may not even work an actual 2000 hours each year due to time off.

So you are putting in more time to WoW each year than the typical full time worker is to their job.

And you still have time for other games.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I do one game at a time, but about 2500 hours per year.

I've got 5 weeks of paid vacation and 40 hours work week.

I don't like traveling, I don't want kids, I don't like going out on weekends, I don't watch TV or series on Netflix. Minor optimization on adult chores such as meal prep and a 10 minute commute leaves a lot of time for whatever I want.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

2500 hours per year

That is... more than a full-time job

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ dude. Do you have a job?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, average 40 hours per week for the last 10 years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Arma 3, 1,234 hours according to Steam.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This, but 4k hours. Simultaneously the best and worst game I've ever played.

Probably chess. I have tens of thousands of games on all the separate accounts I use online, not counting over the board games- both casual and tournament. Also game analysis, reading chess books, and watching chess videos.

I have no way of estimating but I'm certain we're in the thousands of hours region.

2100 Binding of Isaac Rebirth

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This is over the course of 9 years. I haven't played in a couple months now, (the aug 22 last played was just me entering my house so it doesn't get demolished) but the itch will come back. It always does.

I passed 520 hours last night in Stardew Valley

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Elite Dangerous, 1,041 hours.

I played a lot during the lockdowns when they closed everything, even stuff like the ski resorts. It's how I met my SO, we are gonna celebrate our second anniversary soon.

I've moved on to other games, but sometimes I still gotta hop into elite and explore the stars and do some combat in VR. So much fun :)

It ignited my interest in space, seeing some of our wildest stars and the core of our galaxy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

3.7 years of WoW... but I'm sure I had more time playing the Quake/halflife games/mods.

Based on Steam numbers I have ~2200+ hours on EU IV

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm at 1600+ so I'm still a noob.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Dude I feel you. At least you made it past the tutorial (1000 hours)

I still have only managed to form Rome once in this whole time, and have yet to do a world conquest

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Literally hundreds or even thousands of hours playing gran turismo games, especially now. I've spent 12 hours on multiple occasions making liveries, not even racing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am not exaggerating when I say I have 10k+ hours into fallout new Vegas. I've got 600 hours since November alone.

After xfire started supporting java games and before it ceased to exist, I clocked in some 2000 hours into Minecraft. I suppose 4000 hours into it isn't an unreasonable estimate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Over 200 hours on Death Stranding. During lockdown it was like therapy. Not into MMOs. Possibly more on other games but that is the one that surprised me most when I saw how long it took to platinum it. And then game+ing it too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure exactly how many hours, but it's League for me. Low 4 digits I think from the 4k games I've played over the years

Of those that are tracked, anyway, for me is Arma 3 with 1500+ hours. It barely beats out TF2 by 2 hours.

Untracked would probably be Ultima Online. I played that game for over a decade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

When Super Mario 64 came out, I stayed up all night until about 8 the next morning playing it because I wanted to beat the whole game before going to sleep.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've got a little over 1,350 hours in Fallout 4, probably that many across Fallout 3 + NV, and gawd knows how many in Minecraft. Nothing record breaking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

3000 hours in counter strike and in minecraft it gotta be over 5000 hours, but there is no way to check

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I remember being amazed when I hit 100 hours in Final Fantasy VII, thinking that a game could never match it. Then I put 12,000 hours into World of Warcraft over about 12 years, so I guess I lacked imagination. I don't think in the rest of my life I will ever be able to beat that with a single game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thousands upon thousands of hours in Civilization games through out the years. Hundreds in Minecraft and Terraria also.

Oh, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Another game with hundreds of hours in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Over 5000 on Battletech (2018)...very active mod community, has several complete overhauls to make the game an almost new experiance

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta be runescape 3, osrs is only at 30 days and I played rs3 significantly more. Csgo and lol are both over 1300 hours though, and if minecraft listed it's hours that'd probably be well north of 30k hours

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

1302.2 hours on DayZ. Havent played since april though. Its a game ill play 30 hours a week until a server reset and then I wont touch it for months.

Destiny 2 and elden ring have been my latest ones though with 469 hours on ER and 365 on destiny 2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

CS:GO, ~1500 hours

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

14,388.7 hours in Cookie Clicker. 100% achievements in just under two years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As of today, 1,710 hours in destiny 2
