I know there have been other polls on the topic, and there are plenty of surveys and studies on the subject (e.g. Deadalus). These have repeatedly put the average number of hours per week for an MMOG player at around 20-22 hours. I wonder whether the numbers for us on these forums are pretty much the same.
I suspect the average is pulled upwards by a smaller group spending a lot of hours on MMOGs, thus the median would be somewhat lower than 21 hours per week. Will be interesting to see how many we have in the 45+ bracket. If those picking that one could post how many hours (if they dare say), that'd be interesting. :-)

If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Most people who are casual gamers play around 10-20 hours a week while hardcore players might play up to 30-40... if you are in the "no life" category then you can play games more than 8 hours a day.
An interesting comparison is that a work week is typically 35-40 hours, at least in western Europe. :-)
i know someone who play WoW 100-120 HOURS A WEEK ........no life....
When employed: couple hours on the weekend.
unemployed: couple hours a day. Would be alot more if there was a good game to play.
Atm i only work 3 hours a day, so i play anywhere from 6-10 hours a day, for the past two weeks. Been lots of pvp and people dieing.
22 hours a day
