Vast majority of it is active playing - I’ve thought about this earlier too, and I really rarely just afk or stand around while in game. Even if I’m just waiting for eg. raid to start, I usually just go do some gathering, pet battles, dailies, something.
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:
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.
How much of that time was actually spent playing? A huge percentage of my /played is standing around either AFK or using the game as a chat client
