So an average WoW player plays what, 2 - 4 night a week? Let's say 3 nights a week for 3 hours each night, that's 9 hours a week. Multiply that by 9,000,000, and you have 81,000,000 man-hours wasted every week.

That's almost 10,000 man-years (9240 to be exact) wasted every week on WoW. That's something to think about!

I assume a lot of the hardcore players will do more than 9 hours a week, but we have to take into account people who don't play much. If those people exist :)

In regards to somebody only playing 3 hours a night, for any given 3 nights, that's similar to saying we should think about how many man-hours are lost while we're all sleeping!

Sleeping isn't really the same because it's a biological necessity. As such, it's not "wasted" time.

And WoW isn't? :P
