How long has one actually been playing World of Warcraft? A question that not everyone wants an answer to. Because it could be uncomfortable.
In World of Warcraft, pride and shame can be very close together – for example, when looking at the total playtime of the account. While some boast about their years of playtime, others prefer to keep this time secret – preferably even from themselves. An addon now reveals at a glance how much you have played and which class is your favorite.
Playtime addon is both a curse and a blessing
What kind of addon is this? The addon is called “Account Played” and does exactly what the name suggests. It shows for all characters how many days and hours one has already spent in World of Warcraft and filters this display by the different classes. This way, multiple characters of the same class are summarized to provide better insights.
For the addon to work correctly, you must log in once with each character individually after installation. Only then will the /Played data be read and added to the addon database. This may take a little while, depending on the number of characters on the account.
What does the addon bring? The advantage of the addon: you can see at a glance how much time you have spent with which class in World of Warcraft.
The downside of the addon: you can see at a glance how much time you have spent in World of Warcraft.
You can download the addon from the curseforge page.
Depending on how long and how intensely you have played Blizzard’s MMORPG, there can be well over several hundred days listed for individual classes, so that in the end several years of lifetime add up.
This may raise the question for some whether this time could not have been filled with something more meaningful – others may be filled with pride about how long and intensely they have been involved.
Which group do you belong to? Do you like to show how long you have been playing World of Warcraft and how intensely you are addicted to the game? Or do you find the total duration so uncomfortable and burdensome that you would rather not know it at all?
If that number has already driven you to desperation, let’s continue with this: Not all great characters will survive the soul saga.
