How many hours a week you spend on MMO's?

I'm coming to the sad realization that I spend way to much time playing MMO's. I just figured I'd throw up a thread, see how many hours you all play. I was thinking there was a thread with this in it, but I can't seem to find it. I remember answering something like this like a year ago ... might have been on NBF or something.

I realized this weekend how bad I'm getting with them. (well, failed to believe it before) I installed WoW on my macbook and then thought "Why did I do that, now I'll get no work done". Then I went out and bought LoTR:Online, which upped by MMO count to 3 active ones currently. I realized that it makes no difference if I have 1 active or 3, I'll probably spend the same amount of hours playing.

I'm debating uninstalling them for the summer, actually get my arse off my chair and do something besides game after work.

Zero - I actively avoid things I know I'll whore my time on. I work an insane amount of hours and spend every other moment of the rest of the day working on my relationship.

I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get tired of the game(s) eventually. Then you'll get tired of the genre. And then, sunlight!

I used to spend 8-12 hours daily playing WoW.

And no I'm not a fat guy living in my mom's basement, it just took me a long to realize how utterly pointless it was. That, and many other MMO's.

I think part of the problem with many MMO's is this: you're paying for a subscription... so you almost feel obligated to play.

I liked the subscription-less concept of Guildwars, but when I tried it the gameplay seemed kind of hollow. GW2 sounds neat though.

when i played, i spent anywhere from 1-5 hours a day playing. i think my longest stretch was 7 or 8 hours becuase we were raiding and learning a new boss. 2 am and we downed ossirian, which was sweet. then i passed out.
