Twitch streamer breaking the record for longest marathon playing a MMORPG. He's already at 35 hours, and aiming for 40. I have a hard time believing that the previous record was only 32.5 hours in 2017. I'm sure there were some players back in the day that went way longer. www.twitch.tv/ac___gamer
There were some deaths reported back during WoW from really long sessions like that. Never really understood stuff like this.
The rules allow you 10 minutes breaktime every 60 minutes, which you can bank; so you could take an hour break every 6 hours if you wanted to. The streamer said he took a few breaks to stretch and use the bathroom, but that was about it. He stopped at 37 hours.
absolute lightweight, I spent about about 35hrs poopsocking Emp Ssra on Fippy, to which we subsequently lost the DPS fight on Blood. I'm sure some proper EQ veterans could smoke that record if they tried - it takes about 30 hours just to move up the list to get into the frenzy camp in lguk
when i was in high school i stayed up way too late to attend an open raid on nagafen that was slower than molasses to get rolling. i can't remember if i even saw the dragon when we got there, i probably just cast greater healing through a wall.
I think a far more interesting record would be consecutive days where your only activities are Sleep, MMO, Eat, Bathroom. I am sure plenty of people here have a story of a week~ or longer time frame where they did nothing but EQ and sleep.
During release Velious in early 2001, started Stormfeather camp after university classes finished on friday afternoon. He spawned sunday late morning. I actually was failing to stay awake at the end; I wss snapped back to reality by the sound of him killing my sentry character. I will never do anything like that again.
yea early velious was kind of crazy here there were long lines for stuff, the days when it was hard to find lodizal up and shell pieces still were worth something. I remember waking up at 3-4am to check for stormfeather after getting the timer. Im very afraid PoP release is going to have some of these elements of craziness.
PoP will have some of the elements of craziness for sure. Part of it will be exciting, part of it will be frustrating. I hope people can just keep their cool, maintain a civil atmosphere. In general, realize that we will be playing in PoP for as long as the server and people are here.
Yeah and Sony GMs just went ahead and spawned you your own Blood/Emp anyways. I was so mad and i was guild#3 DAMN YOU CITIZEN.
Lol they didn't spawn it, after a day of waiting (24 hr spawn window expiring) we petitioned saying why didn't it spawn, so they reset the <24 spawn timer window. So it started a fresh 24 hr spawn window. Hence the 35 poopsock. Amazing stuff.
How long this specific server lasts is almost irrelevant; once development is done the code base becomes open source. After that it's just a matter of data. I like to think that if we ever have to sunset TAKP that we might provide character dumps. Not up to me of course.
