"Playtime" command.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm truly afraid of using that command. I'm terrified to know how much time I've wasted:(

Also, a legit question, will it track the time I've been playing since its implemention or since I started playing back in the day?

Cumulative.

So... your WHOLE time of playing FFXIV. Since the start.

Now you can see how much time you've spent ingame instead of doing useful stuff in real life!

Gonna use it first thing post patch and then I'm gonna immediately regret using it.

woot first thing i will do when EA starts is start a /playtime thread! (unless someone beats me to it!)


and we can all share our wasted time together!

Wonder if it'll include 1.0 time.

I wonder if it tracks how much time I've just /afk for long periods of time. Cause if not, it might just be a little bit useless imo.

if it include the 1.0 the damn thing will give me the time spent in months ಠ_ಠ

I was amazed this wasn't already in game.

Every other one... /played

I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 5000 hours.

Highly doubt it would distinguish between actually playtime vs. Being idle in game. I reference ffxi since that's the only other mmo I've played. It just recorded the time spent in game, but that game also had a bazaar system in place where it was beneficial to some to leave their characters logged in. No real point in 14 to leave your character logged in idle for extended periods of time besides using up that electricity. Either way, its just a fluff option for the curious folk.

Wonder if it'll include closed beta. For some of us that was actually able to download the client, and then login heh.

When people talk about using /playtime commands in MMOs, I can't help but think of that scene from the movie Princess Bride:

Aw, I can't watch it. It says it's not available. :(

If they count the play time in hours instead of days, that will be a big ass number there and yes, I expect some Vegeta/Nappa/Over9000 jokes. I'll personally make one. About others' playtime, not mine 'cuz... I... not gonna use it at all. Nice feature but no, thanks.

Quite likely myself too.
But because so much time has passed in 2.0 I'll always be questioning if the command is giving me my 1.0 time or not. I fear I may never know.
