Homo Habilis	Posted - 2004.04.11 09:07:00 - [1] hey, i was just wondering if other people(surely so) are as crazy as I when it comes to playing eve. what's the longest you have spent sitting and playing eve, getting up only for food(which you bring back to the computer) and going to the bathroom? I have sat, without sleep, playing eve for 38 hours straight once. i got up only to go to the bathroom and get foodstuffs to bring back to the computer. i have found that the best types of food to eat are like, chicken fingers and carrot sticks to dip in ranch... campbells cup o soups are great too. I can't imagine how many hours total I have put into the game. thousands and thousands of hours. what about you?
Xelios	Posted - 2004.04.11 09:08:00 - [2] I got my account stats from a GM about a month ago, at that time I'd spent a total of 53 days logged into my account
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.04.11 09:12:00 - [3] I played from the end of one downtime to the start of another with the only pauses being: 1) A quick shower 2) A couple of breaks to heat the kettle in preparation for some Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodless 3) A phonecall to work to explain how I was "really poorly" Yesterday I played from 8am to 3am hunting NPC's too. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Nightfang	Posted - 2004.04.11 09:20:00 - [4] Oh dear... I thought I was hardcore! My longest of 14 hours dim in comparison...

Mitchello	Posted - 2004.04.11 09:56:00 - [6] longest single sit down of EVE was about 10 hours, of course now that I'm not so much for waring (until something worth fighting over comes in the game) I find that i can't play eve for more than 5-6 hours a day...something about combat and hunting enemies draws me in. Mining and producing and selling just doesn't have the same vortex effect. It's fun but different :)
Manfred Doomhammer	Posted - 2004.04.11 10:16:00 - [7] well.. every thursday, i have a 24 hours shift at work, so i am in eve for 23 hours(now if there wouldnt be that damned downtime).... happened more than once that i drove home friday morning just to fire up my computer again and continue until sometime saturday.... so i guess the longest so far is anywhere near 48 hours yeah, i know im sick, thanks for mentioning it ---- Manfred Doomhammer Fleet Admiral CEO ShadowTec Inc.
Dufas	Posted - 2004.04.11 10:25:00 - [8] 15 hrs of straight up mining...when i finally went to bed i dreamed that i turned into a veld roid and tried to mine myself
shakaZ XV	Posted - 2004.04.11 10:45:00 - [9] Edited by: shakaZ XV on 11/04/2004 10:47:44 i play lots but not THAT much longest without any real breaks was yesterday/today... mining bistot for ~13-14 hours straight and then flying back home for another hour or so. But im not gonna do that again anytime soon (hmm i said that the mining op before this one aswell greed > me) pizzas are still teh w1n food wise while playing eve...its just crappy that i tend to forgetting about it after putting one in the oven so they usually turn out as giant cr-ackers agree on the cup of soup type thingies, infact ill have 1 now ========================= One small step for me, one giant leap for ALT-kind.

Ronyo Dae'Loki	Posted - 2004.04.11 14:28:00 - [12] Back in June when I was off work for a month, I pulled a few multi-18 to 20 hour days of Eve. Don't do it anymore because of school, though yesterday came close. ------------- My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants. I <3 ( . Y . )
DB Preacher	Posted - 2004.04.11 14:37:00 - [13] On more than more occasion, i have pulled a full weekend shift on eve... From friday at 5:45pm till Sunday at 2am. That's without moving from the pc for much more than a few hours sleep each night. It kinda messes you up a bit though ;) dbp Current RKK Ranking: (CAL4) Soldier Drop by and say hi in Reikoku Forums.
Bele gorri	Posted - 2004.04.11 16:49:00 - [14] Thanks, thanks alot to give me the feeling i'm not completely insane I usually play the whole weekend but disconnect for the "RL" needs, and sleep 8 hours every night.

I have sat, without sleep, playing eve for 38 hours straight once. i got up only to go to the bathroom and get foodstuffs to bring back to the computer. what about you? Pretty much same as you. Don't remember exactly, but 36-40 hours straight like that once. M.I.A. since 2004-07-30
Aelius	Posted - 2004.04.11 17:09:00 - [16] I only did those looney things in beta. I used to put a paper weight on top of "enter" key to get in. "connecting... connecting... connecting" then i would fell asleep with that. Once in the early days of TQ i felt asleep on top of the keyboard while mining with FoA. I woke up at the sound of Bare Wire missiles. Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station
Dizzy Flores	Posted - 2004.04.11 17:36:00 - [17] Once, on a week's holiday, I played while off my head on something or other for 2 days - a straight 48 hours and read the forums and ate etc during downtime. Now I am a responsible adult and can only play 3-5 hours a night due to work but still try to play for about 18 hours or so on my days off.

Nova Ivanova	Posted - 2004.04.11 17:49:00 - [18] fjuff really if there wasent any dt i would never quit but i have playd throw 1dt to the next then i died trying to stay awake for an hour
Coldurn	Posted - 2004.04.11 19:22:00 - [19] "Only" 10 hours. And I thought that was a long time. _____________________________ ____________________________________________________________ See me in the headlines Manipulate your simple minds So put your hands up and praise I'm your god and you're my slave
Sphalerite	Posted - 2004.04.11 20:35:00 - [20] my longest straight was something like 34 hours, with nothing longer than both DTs. My best feat of EVE endurance was a week that I had off work with the GF out of town where I did nothing but sleep and play EVE. I even timed my sleep so I could AFK mine with an alt then wake up, empty the hold, and trestart the cycle. Needed a week off after that.

Jarjar	Posted - 2004.04.11 22:05:00 - [23] Nothing that crazy. I played a lot back when I chained NPCs in Fade to get ISK for my first battleship (Megathron), though. Probably something like 11:00-17:40 chaining with very short breaks and lunch at the computer 17:45 - 18:15 dinner 18:20 - 03:00 chaining 03:20 - 11:00 sleep Repeat for a few days...
Shredder	Posted - 2004.04.11 22:10:00 - [24] I did 17 hours a day for 2 months last summer, but in one shift ive only done 20 hours ...i feel so inadequate
Drethen Nerevitas	Posted - 2004.04.11 22:20:00 - [25] Edited by: Drethen Nerevitas on 11/04/2004 22:21:43 Over 40 hours, under 50 in Eve, no break more than going to the toilet/grabbing something to eat/drink, and ofc d/t (and if you do it right, you can time your toilet break for d/t, and then go for another 20+hours not needing to go again ). My longest on a computer with no breaks except toilet/food/water is about 3 weeks . Do I win a prize? (Bread+water/coke is all you need, sleep is for wimps ) _______________________________________________________________________ *IMPORTANT: Devs (and players) please take notice.* 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

(Bread+water/coke is all you need, sleep is for wimps ) You haven't slept for 3 weeks? Yeah. Aanyway, my longest time in Eve was probably something like 18-22 hours...and I used to do 10-15 relatively frequently last summer...
Presidio	Posted - 2004.04.13 02:59:00 - [30] I played EVE for 2 days non-stop once, exept for downtime. I drank and ate in front of the computer. It's sick now that I think of it. I used to work from home, and eve is probably one of the reasons I don't do that anymore. When EVE was first released it was like a gold rush, everyone was trying to get to that battleship blueprint first. Now it's different in-game wealth is not everything. - "Passivity is fatal to us.

Aturayd	Posted - 2004.04.13 03:15:00 - [31] Everyone knows that people are addicted and have played insane hours on this game. I put on average 4-5 hours a day in and i cant take much more of that. This thread should be, "How much time have you wasted on these pointless forums?" ----------------------------------- about:blank
Gorbo	Posted - 2004.04.13 03:16:00 - [32] you guys are all loony, that is pathetic, shall i go on insulting people who play games for endless hours?? Keep Flaming, Im reloading
The Reclaimer	Posted - 2004.04.13 03:31:00 - [33] I'm looking to get a chair that has a toilet built into it atm. Also looking for a good cheap supplier of intrveious foods.
Prodigious	Posted - 2004.04.13 04:05:00 - [34] one thing that i dont like about eve is how time consuming it is.. but i still only play 3-4 hours a day, and that's only a few days a week you people are strange. i mean, how do you resist life? teach me!
Dexter Rast	Posted - 2004.04.13 04:15:00 - [35] i have put in a few 12 hours shifts in EVE, manely at the weekend, and it has gotten to the stage before where i know i have something wrong with me but cant seem to do anything about it took a week away from the game and feel much better about it now, i enjoy it more and play it for less hours, but i am turning into a fat bastard again, need to get my ass to the gym ---------------------------------------------

Omniwar	Posted - 2004.04.13 07:34:00 - [38] I never log off if I know there might be a fight soon, I cant work atm and was pretty much stuck indoors for the last 9 months or so, dont know the excact hours but if playing EVE was a job then some union would have sued CCP for slavery *Spawn of the Devil*

ClarCE	Posted - 2004.04.13 11:11:00 - [40] Far too long, and I think its doing damage to me, I dont sleep for more than 5 hours a night, even at weekends (cause I go to bed at 7am on Friday & Sat night, when I'm not out). And now, I keep dreaming about it non stop, I dreamed concord blew me up accidentally 2 nights ago, and a range of other warped mind ones over the last few months. I'm on holiday for 10 days without a pc soon, I seriously think it will do some good to get away from it. --'The Way is Shut'-- ----------------------- Jenny...Get to the Chopper---Stick Around -----------------------
Commander Jones	Posted - 2004.04.13 11:31:00 - [41] last year my wyfe went on a week holiday with her sister and I spent that whole week playing eve from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed (say 10 hours/day for 5 days) It got so bad that whenever I needed to take the dog for a walk I kept thinking that RL had really bad 3d rendering he he he "You end up paying good money for the sort of treatment you ancestors spent their short, brutal lives trying to avoid. That's progress"
Ulendar	Posted - 2004.04.13 11:50:00 - [42] cant really tell... I can tell you that its over 48h though... Not straight, there is downtimes to consider...and of course, food breaks. I dont eat fast food so i have to stop for an houre+- to cook my food also there is bathroomstops which include 30 minute sh1tbreaks and after playing about 36h i had to stop for a moment to straighten my eyeballs cause they were acting funny... When i finally quit playing i think i was at about 50h aprox. Then i slpet for 17h straight O_o this was when i first started playing EVE and wanted my cruiser very badly :p Originally by: cashman It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this. It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.
Playmate Bunny	Posted - 2004.04.13 15:45:00 - [43] around 58 hours, only dt stopping me (chaos cluster full one off the dt's) I used that break too buy more cup a soup's, ------------ Noone is safe from my shots, I like shooting at stuff, If you don't want too get shot at, you better stay the hell out of my sight
Sybylle	Posted - 2004.04.13 16:36:00 - [44] Lol...Longest playtime was from post-downtime to post-downtime + 6 hours... So 30 hours almost. During the downtime I took a shower... Meal was...We cannot even call it a meal...I hate almost everything around the computer (except cat, rats, fishes), and smoke all that was avalaible in house (except cat, rats, fishes too).
