    Don't really have a good choice to choose from.  So playing several hours a day is a hardcore gamer?

    Playing 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week is a hardcore gamer.  I tend to play a few hours here and there, and a little bit more on my days off and when I get home from work.

    I don't watch television because it's crap.  So I get my fix with computers.

    For people that actaully have to work for a living 3 hours a day is hard-core mmorpg gamming.

    I voted : "Not a MMORPGer? (I prefer other games but am interested in the future
    of them or am waiting on a better MMORPG to hit the shelves)"

    Thing is I just quit my mmo. And will be waiting for Age of Conan + Star Trek Online. If these 2 dont manage to break past the boring factor all MMOs are suffering with then thats it for me.

    In the mean time I am playing single player games, and doing other stuff then computer gaming.

    Really?
    I work 10+ hours most days... I still have time to play with my kids, chase my wife around naked and play 2-3 hours a night on my computer while my wife is at work and the kids are asleep.  Usually in an MMO (EVE currently).  And hey, I still get 6-8 hours of sleep a night too.

    Immagine that.

    A "Hard core" gamer is someone who lives-eats-and-breathes video games.  Not someone who plays a couple hours a night.  I play MMO's 5 nights a week for an average of 2.5 hours.  On the weekends I typically am not on much.  So I figure I play 15-20hrs a week or so... Probably closer to 18 hours. 

    Does that make me a hard core gamer? 

    No... it just makes me someone who only watches TV on the weekends, when I can watch it with my wife.   Tivo is soooo awesome that way.

    Currently Playing: Dungeons and Dragons Online.

    We can try and define it but I think its safe to say if you play several hours or +6 hours a day or 25% of the entire day that you could be called hardcore. Look at the results not that many say they play over several hours a week considering this is a MMORPG forum

    I'm  a hardcore nolifer. 15 hours a day.

  • carpsycocarpsyco Member Posts: 95
    i generally play for about 1-2 hours a day. but whenever  get a new game i play for 4-6 hours a day, but considering that happens every 6 months, i think im a casual gamer.

    "Casual Gamer" that is me. I am lucky if I get to play 5 hours a day on the weekdays, but on the Weekend I play for about 7-8 hours. The rest of the time I am in College or hanging out with friends and family.

    this is really surrprising, considering this is an MMO forum most people seem to be casual gamers, i generall play around 2/3 hours a night when i have college, but because im off for a few weeks i guess im playing 6-8 hours so when i have nothing else to do i'm a hardcore gamer.

    and if im not hanging with my friends or MMORPGing im on xbox live so i'm constantly gaming

    Only play a couple of hours a week,waiting for a good game to come out.

  • GorukhaGorukha Member Posts: 1,441
      I think casual would mean a few hours a week. 5 hours a day is not a casual. I guess it's very relative, and depends what you compare yourself to. 

     I would say casual is between 1-3 hours a day, normal mmorpger wud be like 3-8, and past that is hardcore, and the final stage is Korean mmorpger.
