How many MMO's can you play at once?

    Some of us here are true MMO fanatics. Some of us love them so much that if not for having a life, we'd play them 24 hours a day (keyword SOME of us lol). But how many MMO's can you focus on at one time.

    Sure, anyone can start an account on a game, but can you FULLY focus on say 3 or 4 at one time?

    Inthinknincould if I tried really hard. But I don't. When I'm playing a game, I devote myself and all my free time to that one game.

    Hmm..if you mean playing them both at the exact same time...I can probably handle 3. However, if you mean devoting myself to just one game until I'm bored of it; I can't do that. I like to try and play multitudes of games. There was one time I was playing five at the same time, and there's been more than that before...when I first joined Steam..there was alot.

    I'm not so much of a multitasking person, so I can't play more than one MMO at a time, unfortunately. But I will try in the future to maximize my potential, because there are a lot of things I miss if I have to always quit one game to play another.

    I can play about 4 - 5 a day. Though I would probably focus one one at most for full-time grinding and buffing, The rest, probably for entertainment or dailies, AFTER they're buffed up haha

    I can play around 4 to 6 a day at max. Maybe more in the same week via alternating the MMOs per day. But after that, I cannot keep up with the events of each.

    I would say about two because of time limitation and brain capacity. MMORPG games are quite big and there's a lot of concepts to be learnt in each game. It's just like learning a language, it's very difficult learning three languages at the same time, although, learning two might be a maximum.

    Personally, only 1. I like to focus my attention on one thing and do it as well as I can. With MMOs, there is (usually) so much content and things to learn that I can't imagine jumping from one to the other.

    For others, well it would depend on the person. My husband has played 2-3 at once, one was trditional P2P (EQ) and the other one(s) were F2P browser ones I think. When he started WoW, he took a break from EQ. When he went back to EQ, he took a break from WoW. I think even he had a hard time juggling 2 :)

    Also it would depend on how active/involved you were in your games. For example, if you've committed time each week to raiding with your guild or performing dailies, I'm not sure how involved you'll be able to be on your other game and still have time for other stuff (work, school, family, etc).

    I would say 3 or 4. One time I was playing at the same time 5 MMO but I was really crazy in that period of the time. I was playing like Tera, Aion, WoW, Metin2, Cabal and GW2. It was fun but I suffered a lot of this sort of overdose of MMOs xD

    I can play 1 and switch to another one when WOW is out of content. For about 5 years that is what I did. I would play WOW, and then during content droughts, I would play DDO

    Just one i think. I never tried playing more then one MMOs at the same time. I don't want to miss out some things on the other game just because I'm distracted by the other one. That's not how you play a game i think. For me, i should be present to the game I'm playing to get the whole gaming experience. :p

    Maximum of 2. Anything above that gives me too much of a headache and it's hard for me to keep up and also progress in the games at the same time.

    I used to play upwards of eight MMOs at once. I never looked back, other people were footing my bills, so I basically secluded myself in my own world. Juggling MMOs - all those different online families, all my crews waiting to raid - it actually made me feel like I was a part of something bigger than myself. So I kept diving in. And mastering one after after another after another. Until, flash foward I'm 28 and I barely even play one MMO.

    I used to juggle UO(Ultima Online) EQ1(Everquest 1), Diablo 2, and plenty of other oldies but goldies around the 2000-ish mark, but as time progressed I just picked up more - EQ2, WoW, Guild Wars 1 and 2, anything. You name it, if it was an MMO I was playing it, still had an account on it. And I could probably tell you the exact way fights were still coded to this day. That's my brain's sponge for you - remembering everything about these MMOS, and nothing I NEED to remember. Like stuff in real life. Like important numbers. But I sure can recall a droplist off a boss and his exact mechanics 15 years down the road.

    Only one. The more time you spend in a game the more powerful and experience you become. I don't see a reason why play 2 or more games and be forever a noob in all of them lol

    I could probably play multiple MMORPG's at one given time if I had just had a little more spare time, but I am not just not that into them at the moment so I feel at the very moment, maybe one or two. If I had a three monitor setup and too much spare time, I would probably play upwards of 3 to 4 at a time, maybe even at the same time, too! Multi-tasking can be fun, especially with gaming :)

    I concur with multi tasking can be fun. I thoroughly enjoyed juggling games. Fresh experiences all the time instead of the same old stuff over and over. It was the same old stuff! Over and over, to be honest, but further apart which makes the drive last longer.

    For me, one is enough. I have a lot of games that are not MMO haven't finished yet. So, 1 is enough for me and to finish some of the other games that I bought during steam sale.

    Two games maximum because I also have a job, workout, family etc. and gaming is my only leisure time so I maximize with just two. Mostly I just play one game, LoL and it's already a bit much.
