    Re: How longs too long?

    The longest I've ever played at once was about 8 hours. I had just gotten the game though so I had no need for a party at that time.

      Re: How longs too long?

      My butt can only take maybe 4-5 hours tops , So I'll try for PT for about 10-15 minutes, if there isnt one i'll Form one. I do non-standard Pt's so Finding people to go with isnt hard, Ill adjust the location. Cant find a tank get a Sam ^^.

      If th ePT is extremeley good I'll do 3-4 hours tops then end it. Simply because I try to, limit myself on FFXI so i dont suffer any burnout.

        my longest PT was from 8PM PST all the way to 11AM... that was 13 hours. We had 2 meal breaks in between for 30 minutes each time.

        The grinding is never too long. It's you that should know your limit

            I think the most I played was in NA Beta, went from Friday evening around 5pm-ish until Sunday night around 1-2am XD With 3hr breaks for sleep each day, hai hai, those were funny days. The whole group of us would be zombie like. One PST person mentioned that I was really weird coz I'd ask him to start a party at noon EST, coz they just woke up XD and I had already had 2-3 parties by then.

            Oy, no way ever doing that again!!! Yucks, Me old ladieth now, must get booty sleep. These days I'm lucky if I can find 3hrs to play in a week /cry.

              I've done some 5 hr and an 8 hr party, those were very good parties and either on my day off, or the night before. the rest of the time I end at 3-4 hours at the most. to be on longer, I may fall asleep at work.

                Fall asleep at work? Isn't that why we all got jobs anyway? To get paid for sleeping!

                  don't I wish, but sometimes my job involves driving and last i heard driving and sleeping don't mix. sometimes that's the only reason I cut my xp sessions down when I have a good pt on the other nights.

                        Longest time partying for me is 8 hours. Usually I shoot for 2-3 hours during the week and as long as the party is good on the weekends.

                          Wow. Never in my entire playing time have I had a pickup party that stayed together for more than 4 hours, some of you guys are very lucky. My static doesnt even stay together for more than 5(but we made up for that with multiple sessions a week)!

                            You never know until you try. Only time I ever fell asleep driving, I started hallucinating all sorts of weird crap.
                            I have trouble staying into it past a certain point. I think I said it earlier, if its my main then I can go for a while, but if its one of my subs I get bored quick. Even xp'ing on rng, unless the xp is phenomenal I just get bored after a few hours and have to do something different.

                              I'm the same way. Subs get really dull and boring. I hated lvling WAR, SAM was so-so, but RDM was just killer. It was new and refreshing at first, but by the time I hit Garlaige it was boring as hell.

                              Longest PT I've been in lasted 9 hours. I remember it very well too. It was a phenominal PT, otherwise I might not have gone for so long. It did get a little dull for the last hour or so because we had gotten into a sort of machine-like process of pull, use our killing method, repull, rinse, repeat. First time I ever lvled twice in a PT post-50 though.

                                I did 12-22 in the dunes, on blm, I had all scrolls up to warp, then when I learned that, I ended up using it to go get fresh signet and more scrolls food for the party. swapped out a full range of members, and completely owned the beach we were camped on... people looked at me like I was nuts, but after a half an hour, they looked at their tnls and were impressed. Novel concept, chaining Toughs is faster EXP than IT++ mobs in the dunes... Think it was about... 6 hours... but then, I've also done a manaburn for a full level pre exp change... that was O.O...
