The average WoW player spends a little more than 35 hours per week online playing the game.
Do you have a source for that? According to this article, Nielson has it at less than 15 hours per week. Still a huge amount of time, mind you.

I might be able to find the original for the 35-hour quote. If it's bugging you, email me and I'll take some extra time to dig it up.
- unalone 18y agoGold Farmers are kind of the exception - and they use WoW as a business, so arguably they're not wasting time. I would bet against Gartner aggressively. They don't understand the technologies they're talking about. Virtual worlds have less to offer than people think.
- patio11 18y agoStill a huge amount of time, mind you. Ex-WoW player here (I quit it to take up running a business in my spare time -- pays better, a different flavor of fun, rather less dragons). I probably spent 15-20 hours many weeks during those two years. It is a lot of time. What impresses me about it is that it seems to suddenly become far less time if I had confessed to watching TV instead.
