EVE is a hobby, not an addiction!
Ok so, personally speaking i think its a bit of both; I love this game, it is my favourite hobby to the point were i am addicted. Addicted because i cannot get enough of it.
The main reason for creating this post is to feed my curious mind; i'm curious as to how many total hours you have played? that being the total time logged in, not your actual char D.O.B.
I started playing at the end of 2009 and according to Eve HQ and Eveboard i have racked up a total of 230 days total playing time.
Is this too extreme?
How long have you played for relative to your age?
I am interested to see the results.

According to my Xfire profile, I have 1100 hours on EVE. That's nothing, though. I have well over 10,000 hours on one character on FFXI.
Some context, since that's always important: When I started playing XI, I was 16, bored with school, and not into partying. I therefore spent ALL of my waking hours not at school playing XI. This continued for 5 years uninterrupted, until I began taking breaks of ~6months. Two years into that FFXI stretch I was introduced to EVE, but I didn't fully immerse myself into New Eden until much later, and even then only until my alliance collapsed. I've just been coasting through EVE, building up my final character selections and looking for a corp I can actually enjoy while still vanishing for months at a time, as my interest in EVE waxes and wanes. |

I've averaged 3 hours a day over the last 5 years. But that doesn't count time spent making angry forum posts.

Is ~25% of your time, both asleep and awake, too extreme? Assuming you are either employed or studying for a solid 8 hours a day and sleeping approximately the same, would you say ~75% of the remaining time on one activity is too extreme?
It seems extreme to me; but hey. Different people have different priorities for their lives.

Every time I see someone call a video game or chocolate an "addiction," I imagine a cleaned up ****** addict smacking the stupid out of that person.

I have been playing off and on since 2008, have recycled multiple characters thinking I was done, and keep coming back again and again... Yep, addicted.
I wonder what step 'admission' is in the process...  |

I'm not sure whether it's the EVE, or spending all of my working day browsing EVE forums, other fan-forums, searching the internet for guides, blogs, stories and videos, or the time spent on EFT, or just theory-crafting about the game, or thinking about EVE or run on sentence or EVE being in my dreams or talking about EVE with my friends, or spamming a relatively dead Skype conversation with EVE related tidbits.
Dirty heretical mud-child, reporting in. // Throwing one's hands up in the air and crying 'cal-matar nonsense!' seems to be the new dismissive these days when someone is being neither relevant nor dignified. |

The reason is because you don't have to grind to get SP (very clever) you can come and go as you please with EVE,
I would like to say it's a hobby or an addiction but I would say it's more for me a third option of a habit.

Can be quite entertaining when you need a brake or when you have nothing to do.

Man, you look like a LEGO dude.
On topic, I started playing in 2006, I pretty much play ~3 month blocks then quit for a while, then come back (only got 22m sp, so do the math). EVE IS addictive, but also boring, yet I keep coming back to drink quafe and shoot stuff, and I'm all out of quafe. |
