To those who grind 24/7...

[Zotius]

Well I grind cos I wanna play with my friends. They're always running ahead because I only get my modem at night. So I try to grind as much. As for 24/7... It's doable. Definitely. If you are really into playing the game, you don't need to eat or drink. Just go to the toilet a lot. Well that's my experience of playing 18 hours a day during the holidays.

Well, from what I know from my friends (They are the ones you are asking about), its just competition with other players. Its that need to be the best out of the people you know, plus, they have absolutely no lives. All their friends are in the game or online 90% of the time, they have no significant others, and they have nothing but free time. I've tended to grind for a day or so but the only thing keeping me sane from it was that I was talking to my friends on the phone or AIM or be at their house.

I think if i tried to grind solo for over half an hour i would kill myself if i had no1 to talk with...
Thats just me but id rather play with some people and chill than solo just to gain lvls, thats why i play a massivly multiplayer game and not a solo rpg.
