How much of your life...

[Banshee7]

...have you spent flying Aces High?  I was taking a trip down memory lane today, going back to Tour 86 when I first starting flying.  I began looking at my kills, deaths, players I had killed or killed me...just looking around.  Then I began noticing how much time I had spent online.  Several tours, I had DAYS worth of time online, not including the time I spent in the TA.     The time spent in AH with the all the different players I've met has made this more than a game.  All the days, hours, minutes, and seconds of my life I have spent here have been quite the opposite of "wasted."   

#S# to all that share this addiction with me

the people that i have met are what have kept me here for the 10 or so years ive been playing not the game itself, it got boring years ago.

I remember when I first started playing I was on almost all hours of the day and usually logged 25+ hours a tour. Between tour 99 and 128 though I had a long break and had 15 hours or less for most tours. 2 tours I actually didn't fly 1 sortie for! After that I've been playing more hours with each tour. The past 3 tours I've logged 44 hours, 60 hours, and most recently 51 hours. Tour 143 I logged 80 hours of flight time!   That's twice as much as almost any other tour.

Doesn't Midway usually log a couple hundred hours each tour?

First tour was sometime from 98-103 under "snacks88" my 3rd kill in the MA was kazaa's spit 16.

About 10,000 hours virtual flight time in the MA's alone. At least 20% more just watching the map. Many hundreds of hours more for TA work as a trainer, BBS work, flight & program tests, programming, statistical works.

Conservative estimate 14,000 hours total.  

I could have learned a forgeign language, a musical instrument or almost any trade in that time.

I don't measure it in time.....but in kills

about 20,000 since tour 52, with a few breaks here and there

with about 14,000 deaths, not to bad considering how I fly.

I don't measure it in time.....but in kills

about 75,000 in late war with an additional few thousand in the other arenas

pfffftt.... DR7 is closing in on 250,000 

[thndregg]

Started in 2004, played A LOT!!! Not a day went by without Aces High, through my time with the Birds of Prey squad right up through forming the 91st BG. Lately within the past year & a half, my time has been geared more toward music, and currently I'd guess my spare time as being split pretty evenly between these two hobbies.

pfffftt.... DR7 is closing in on 250,000 

that's kills per tour.

So, are you guys just looking at each tour and adding the numbers up or is there a place that gives you totals ?

Yes.

It helps if you had always kept records about your own stats

Actually, you could have learned a foreign language. a musical instrument, probably 2 trades and gotten a doctorate degree!
