Total gameplay time... can we have this?

[Xine]

You guys don't want to know how much of your life you have spent in game. I do. I'm curious about it. I'm over 365 days in XI >.> that is a lot of time.

365 Days in FFXI was a lot? Damn I might need to rethink my FFXI time, over the course of about 9 years playing it I racked up over 1300 days if my memory is correct, considering I was unemployed for about a total of 5 years (at least) while playing it, a good majority of my time was actually spent playing, not afk.

As far implementing this, they had it in FFXI and if memory serves me correctly, in the later parts of FFXIV 1.0, though I could be wrong on that one. Regardless though, I don't see how they would have a problem implementing this unless they're talking about having a problem determining the total playtime of players characters from the launch of ARR up until its implementation. Though even with the wording given, it sounds like two entirely different issues to me. For the record, it was as easy as typing /playtime or /playlog and you'd get a system type message displaying your total playtime from character creation until that point in days, hours, minutes, seconds (in FFXI it was this way.)
