Damn, that's so hardcore.

Well thats the thing. The point of the thread is how to put in stupid hours while still being able to function as a human being. Ironically, not no lifing actually makes you no life better :lol:

My dudes, if you're worried about losing your life over no-lifing in WoW then you're not really no-lifing it.

Fooling around within the game as long as we are not to be found drooling and untamed without.

Also, fresh water over stimulants. Fasting like a true meditative sweetheart, axing at nightmares though our voice while nurturing dreams with both hands.

Lol at the aggroing the GF. I won't be able to no life it either, but I don't think I would want to anyways... Sure sometimes playing 8hr in a Sunday feels great, but doing it for more than one day straight... idk I think it isn't for me. Nor like I could do it anyway atm lol

At the very least, make sure you get up and really stretch / move your legs as you play. Last thing you want is a blood clot to form in your leg from sitting still too long.

As I dont think anyone will follow any guide to no lifing (you are already following your leveling guide if you nolife :lol:), there is some common knowlegde of how to prep for a big game relase:

  • inform your relatives & friends & contacts beforehand that you will be busy for a couple of days, so they aren't worried

  • stack some Food you like, if its even healthly, thats a big plus, but not nescessarry. It should be easy to make though!

  • don't do too much "uppers" like coffee and a polysaccharide, eventually they are just making you more nervous, not more awake

  • get up early, get into bed early. The average wow gamer logs in after 19:00 and plays until he can't stomach anymore / has to go. So you have less competition and ganks if you play during the morning / day.

  • use fruits and veggies as energy refill, some ppl like drinking juice too. Stay hydrated!

  • use the forced breaks like flights and transfers for standing up and stretching your hand. Someone told me that in the early game, everytime he is on autowalk for a long time (hi ally leveling -.-) he stands up and walks on the spot :lol:

  • if you like to stop, stop. No point in burning out in the first couple of days - you can always continue after a rest


  • Hope that helps someone :cool:

    Hey guys, I did not see this mentioned anywhere so I thought I would bring it up. I am sure many people here are planing to, or with to no life till 60 or as long as they can when Classic hits. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread discussing how to keep ourselves in the best shape mentally when we do this to make sure we both don't get sick and make the most of our spare time. If you are feeling drained and haggard this will effect your game play.

    Diet and fatigue

    Before classic comes, meal prep a weeks worth of food and meals. Take away pizzas and microwaved meals are fast and guilty pleasure foods that can taste good with their level of salt and sugar, however all it will do its fill you. Try and make a variety of simple and easy freeze foods that will hit the spot and actually fuel you. Think spaghetti bolognaise packed with veggies, chicken and rice curry with greens and things like that. Maybe we could even swap recipes :P . The last thing you want is to be burning out fast and spewing out your asshole because you were starving and not prepared.

    Further on, to manage fatigue portion out your caffeine. If you are drinking coffee try and limit it to two every four hours, or for energy drinks stick to the 2 can limit. In between that drink water and tea. Hydration will keep you sharper and allow you to play more effectively for longer.

    Manage your sleep properly. Yes I am aware that no lifing means spending more time in Azeroth than you would at your full time job. However adjust your sleeping pattern to put your grandparents to shame. Its much better to be waking up 6 - 7 AM and playing hardcore until 7 - 8 PM and showering and sleeping with your wife/girlfriend/pet and getting that extra sleep without catching GF aggro. It will also allow adjusting to normal life again easier. Hell you may even end up with a better sleeping pattern after its all done than when you started. Waking up earlier rather than staying up later will also give you an advantage of less congested zones in the early hours of the morning.

    -----------

    What other aspects of no lifing can you think of that we can discuss to improve and mitigate the negatives effects. I will add to the list later, but I want to hear from everyone else. The point of the discussion is to let us grind and no life as hard as we can, for as long as we can, as effective as we can without ruining our health and lives :P

    I am so lucky that I am able to "No Life" as I'm currently working a shitty job that, if I quit, would probably actually be better for me because it's super high stress, low pay, and low hours which I will end up doing if they refuse me a week of unpaid time off. (they are only giving me 10 hours a week as it is...).

    As for tips I'd actually suggest starting to eat healthy and stay away from soda now. Our bodies are going to need all the healthies we can get for Azeroth so we gotta start treating them right now.

    Thats the thing. Its better to play for 10 hours with breaks and self care, then play for 12 hours only going to the bathroom. You will feel like shit, your family will hate you and you are likely to die more often

    Die IRL or in the game? :mrgreen:
