NOT including camping time or any length of time spent logged in while you're not at the computer....

It actually varies, depending on how much time I have to spend, what is going on in-world (if it's a set event I want to go to, or just messin' around time), and who is in-world at the same time. I'd say three hours is a good estimation, though there have been more than a couple marathon sessions in my day, as welkl as a usual 45 minute stop-in during the morning hours.

It's quite variable, but usually between 1-2 hours per login. That's long enough for the textures to rez, maybe my hair to all download from the asset server, and build for a while before the client becomes unresponsive and I realize I've been disconnected for 5 minutes but the client didn't notice.

In my "camping days" I was more than 12 hour in-game (well, not me... my avatar...) But now I don't need to camp so... about 2-3 hours. Somedays a bit more (8-10).

You're on dialup right? Cuz I know that happens to me when I exceed my adsl limit and hit the 64k cap. Frankly, I'm surprised you got SL working on that speed at all :P

Truely incredible.


Now get broadband, silly :P
