How much time do you spend on Sl

[Laika Ravikumar]

I was just wondering do you spend a lot of time here or not so much?  I log in after work mostly but do sneak looks at my dashboard at work, and it seems to me that a lot of my male friends spend a lot of time on here. 

Of course this could be because they work from home. I get that. Am sure there are lots of different reasons for time spent , just wondered how people spend their time.

Sl is a wonderful place for having fun, listening to music etc can be obsessive I guess, but to each their own. 

Hope everyone having a great day on here.

Ive been running SL in the background almost daily for a variety of reasons. Ive got a few friends who only contact me through SL so i like to catch the dings from chats, and my wifi adapter is a piece of crap that stops working as soon as im not using it, so i keep SL running when im on my computer to keep the wifi adapter working.

So id say like 8 hours a day, but actually playing maybe 2 hours.

I think I probably log in every day but the length of time differs for lots of reasons.  I have done 24 hour stints (actually active ) when we did charity fundraisers but that was about 5 years ago and a killer.  Some days 18 hours if we are working on a deadline release.  Some days a couple of hours just hanging out with friends and finally log in, answer a query, check IMs , log out 5 mins.

I log into SL every day, unless I'm traveling, but the time that I stay inworld varies greatly - anywhere from a quick 10 min check on things to many hours. On the weekends I'll actually be logged in almost from the time I get up until I go to bed, but I will be AFK a lot of that time doing various RL things.

Likewise, I am on these Forums daily and I always have at least a couple of forum tabs open, even at work. I actually never log out unless I'm rebooting the computer.  When I'm at work, I will go many hours between times when I'm actually reading and/or posting, but the tabs will still always be there.

I have short burst with breakfast.  Then I settle into work, maybe check these forums every now and then.  And then I spend the evening with my partner in SL.  She is on a different time zone, so that works best for us.  Maybe 4 hours a day in total.

It depends,  during the spring - summer (my busy months)  I usually log in every 3 or 4 days and play around for a few hours. However During the winter I am In world a whole Lot more (6 + hours a day)  I live in North Dakota, Our winters are miserable !  Its not uncommon to experience -40 degree weather here. So I try to stay indoors  as much as possible.

I don't send enough time in SL.

Nope! Have no fear I make up for it though =~.^=

[Akasha Sternberg]

varying massively, hardly ever on during the Weekend, usually on during the week^^

[Claireschen Hesten]

I usually log in for a few hours of an evening amount of time varies depending on what i've got on in RL

[BilliJo Aldrin]

[TatianaNikolay]

I try to get on every day if I can, even just for a few minutes to read through IMs and notices. Weekends, I have more time. Generally  it's a few nights a week for an hour and a half or so to hang out with a certain someone 

[Amanda Crisp]

I average about 2 hours a day in SL on work-days, about 4 on weekends unless RL has me running in circles :-)

I love the forum and check it several times a day :-)

[Laika Ravikumar]

I love the forum too and the mostly nice people who frequent it. 

[Ivanova Shostakovich]

   Once upon a time, I was in-world every weekday for hours. It was rare for me to log in during the weekends. These days, I'd like to log in every day but don't always get to. I now make appearances during weekend hours much more often than I used to.

I drink the fifth!

I'm usually online for 2 - 3 hours a day. If I'm working on a new region design I'll likely be online any chance I get, so an 8 hour day online would be typical. When I should be working on something that's close to drudgery, such as finishing changing my region over to autumn, I'll find reasons to stay off SL.

My roommate drank the better part of the fifth during a college party, resulting in something like this...

I think Mo would approve, and this is one reason I drink root beer.

[Madelaine McMasters]

I pop in-world for a few minutes every day or two to pose myself or an object for inclusion in someone else's image and sometimes end up chatting with a friend. At my peak years ago, there were some 20 hour weeks. Prior to my recent burst of photographic activity, I could easily go a month without logging in.

I'm lazy, text is easy, and you kids are here.

Your "roommate" ... uh, huh. That's the picture you were given after you woke up, wasn't it? 

Given your description of your RL self, I think the better part of a fifth (say three-fifths of a fifth) would have put you in the hospital. So roommate it is.

I had one glass of champaign during my wedding reception and nearly fell asleep on the dance floor. A fifth would be enough to embalm me.

I try to login most days, though during the week day hours if I'm in-world, I tend to be AFK a lot, or if not AFK, at a minimum, keeping an eye on what else is happening in my living room in RL, so I tend to only do things around my own parcel, or things where I can send myself home very quickly when I need to tend to something in RL (like grandkids - so I'm up and down and away from my desk a lot  ).  I'm also usually on in the evenings and weekends, when I have more uninterrupted time and can do things that take more concentration or active participation.    I may be a bit obsessed, but I also don't neglect things in RL that need to be taken care of. 

[Elora Lunasea]

I probably log in at least once a day weekdays, although the time length varies greatly. Anywhere from logging on for a few moments to quickly go somewhere to getting involved with exploring and photography.  I don't log on until at least 7pm since I'm at work the rest of the day.

Weekends can easily be hours, especially if Ghosty is busy with schoolwork (he's a full time student).  I have a homestead I'm putting together and it's quite time consuming.

In days of yore, I pulled a few all-nighters for sure.  That hasn't happened in years.
