I hope to have 1-2 hours a day. 3-4 on the weekend. Full time job, school, working out, day to day maintenance.. Will make me a filthy casual for sure.
I'm exactly in the same boat lmao. Part time job + studies + girlfriend + sports is gonna leave me with 1-2hrs of playtime a day, at max. More in the weekends of course:)
I will gladly sacrifice time with the wife, friends, and family for more time on Classic. At least in the beginning. 😂
Is there a bare minimum to be worth it?
What’s your feeling yourself about this question?
~~ being in college has its advantages...;))
I just hope they dont release Classic right during exams time;;
I might die if they release the game during exam season. All my hype for me to have to abstain from the game for a few weeks!
:cry:
Depends how much the gf lets me play. :lol:

Yeh I'm hoping for about 2 hours a night weeknights, 3hours + fri-sun nights.
I can play a few hours each evening from Sunday through Thursday since the girlfriend has to get up early. I guess I will have a lot less time to play compared to 2005 but at least I know how to play it efficiently now.
Until rested xp runs out :biggrin:

Actually, I'm not sure. On the one hand, being somewhat regular, giving yourself at least 20-40 minutes a day is nice in terms of maintaining the flow of the character development, current quests, ideas to accomplish and so on. On the other hand, if you can do a couple of hours on the weekends - gametime becomes more pleasurable and precious.
After all, according to my experience, the most appealing and fun way is to treat your character as a tamagotchi - you remember those right? - log in every day at least for a couple of minutes, run a quest, sell something on the AH, do something minor. No pressure of course, yet regular attention. This laid back approach work the best at least for me. :smile:

Yeah, but the problem is that some activities actually do take hours to complete. Think dungeons and long quest-lines that you'll feel really bad for dropping in the middle of the thing because you'll either have to start all over again with a different group.

Absolutely, I agree. You have weekends and extra opportunities for that. Or at least hopefully you do.
Definitely a way different situation for me than in 2004-2006. I was in college back then, and basically could play forever. Now, I've got two kids and a wife and a 8-5 - but since I currently play wow and raid two nights a week, I'll probably just "switch" full time to classic on raid nights and probably play 1-2 hours a night otherwise. It probably won't be a set schedule outside of the two raid nights, but just a fluid "play when I can and just enjoy it" type thing.
I'm for better or worse retired now, so I will be running my guild as a full time job with my only other obligation and passion being my family.
For me the bare minimum is not worth the effort. I cannot play wow half hardheartedly; it's either all or nothing. I've tried casually playing and I can't even make it past level 20 without hating the game.
I honestly don't think that most people who only have a short amount of time each week will ever experience why vanilla wow has practically been a way of life for so many people, and it's a shame (although almost certainly healthier) that they won't get that great experience.
But I do know people that love vanilla wow and never participate in raiding dungeons or any of the things that require significant amounts of time.
I would very much like to make the High Warlord push, but I won't be able to make that grind until the summer of 2020 probably. All the BG's should be out by then and being an educator, I'll have a lot of time on my hands come summer. :)
