and sleeping... these are 24 hour days ^^
If he plays an engineer a good % of his time would most likely just be online idle so that he doesn't lose his slayer.
well Ao needs an "active playtime counter", i think this is possible, at least since the auto-afk function came in the game could set you idle after doing nothing for 5 minutes and this time isnīt calculated then into the /played time....
i know people who even didnīt log out of ao when they went to bed or went into cinema or something else, this time has for sure not deserved the term "played time"...
Dual logging also doubles playtime, since we are talking total playtime on all chars here.
oh well ooook....
so if i log 5 accounts for 2 hours i have 10 hours of playtime ?
It is if you do /played on your toons then just add the values.
Yeah i figured that one out :D
But as some people said before, this includes idle and /afk times, so it would be nice to see the "real" playtime somehow :)
Are people really that sad? :p
Different people have different interests.
We're in a day and age where many games are no longer won.
But also where arbitrary statistics itself can become the objective of the game for a particular player.
Imposing restrictions on obtaining these statistics might actually serve as encouragement to obtaining them.
If it's harder to obtain, there's more accomplishment in actually obtaining it.
Especially within an MMO where there's no set goal but yet a variety of activities are available, players create their own objectives.
And there will always be those who value a short cut in reaching these objectives.
I wouldn't call them sad. Maybe immoral for 'cheating' at most.
And likely, within their mindset, they're not cheating. They're faced with a challenge and overcame it.
I wonder how people would feel if a "final win condition" was built into AO...
final win would be exit character
result would be angry players
Yeah but they can totally tell everyone that they beat an MMO!
that engine stuff made my day :D i mean, why bother its like starting to tell ppl the earth is flat again...
So uh, the general consensus, is we're glad Means moved to Montreal or no?
I've been to Montreal...I need to visit Oslo to compare them really.
