There was a brief period where I did have to stop playing as such is the life in the military but since then I've gone back to my old playing time frames and habits. Being hardcore doesn't mean you have to sacrifice everything either. I find a difference between being hardcore and straight up unhealthy playing. I learned this first hand during my years in FFXI where I would spend 18+ hours a day playing and it adversely effected my physical and mental health.
