How long do you spend playing ?

[CovisGod]

Mainly those that have been playing for years, how long do you still play per day ? And what do you get up to ? During the week I work 18 hours a day so I play for around an hour on my lunch and an hour when I get home (but I can't do much as it's generally 1am). Whilst off work I can be playing anything from an hour to 12 hours or more If I'm laying paths or moving things around in my town.

I'd be interested to hear, how many hours a day you play and your daily routines of things you do

Usually I play for at least an hour, but sometimes more. It kinda depends on what town I play. If I play in my halfway developed town that I time travel with, usually 2 hours. But if I play with my new town that doesn't, usually 1 hour. School starts for me in less than a week though so between that, my 2 towns, yokai watch, and all the other stuff I have to do, I won't be able to play as long.

It depends, usually I just leave my Ds on & do the diving trick for PWPs while I'm doing other stuff^^

I'm a little stuck and uninspired for my new town so I just dip in to check my hybrids and log out. For my old town I usually play for a bit and talk to villagers and run errands, stop people from leaving etc. I like playing that town because it's complete and pretty to walk through :'D In total I probably spend 30 minutes playing both towns though.

Each day is a little different for me. Some days I play for a few hours, some days I literally just hop on to make sure no ones moving and then go off.

I'm on and off all day and the time I spend on the game varies from a few minutes to a few hours. But I'm usually on the game longer in the mornings to shop and hunt for fossils and evenings to talk to my villagers and visit the island for beetle hunting.

Edit: Sometimes I'm really active in the afternoons when I'm on trying to catch a bug or fish that only appears between 9am and 4pm. Like just now, I was on the game for 45 minutes this afternoon searching for a giant snakehead

For me, it depends how into the game I am. On a very general basis, at least an hour a day. On those nights, usually after or before work, I just try to talk to villagers, shop in the stores, look around and check on flowers... then there's times like now where I'm incredibly interested in Animal Crossing. I've been off the last few days too and have just been playing. On these longer periods I spend time in my cycling town TTing for items or cycling out villagers for people here. I'll check in on my main town too, of course, just to relax in it for a break.

Usually its for an hour in the morning to buy out the entire Nookling store. Then I spend some time checking up on my villagers to make sure no one is moving out ahah.

 

[YunaMoon]

Depends on if it's a day I work or not. Usually just a couple hours broken up into multiple minute sets

 

[Nightstar]

I usually play for about an hour each day. Sometimes more if there's something specific I'm trying to get done.

 

[Hyoon]

Probably 10-20 mins per session? My town is pretty much complete so there's not much to do nowadays unless I come up with an idea and try to test it out. I will still occasionally walk around to make sure if any villager is thinking of moving, I'll get a ping. I think what takes up the most time is trading with others here ^-^

when i have the time i can play for hoUURS, but because i've gone back to school, i usually play for an hour-ish if i can?? i keep my ds near me while i work, and check up around town and on the forum every once in a while so i guess it amounts to around that much- maybe more!

 

[stitchmaker]

I've been playing since the release. Play my main town for an hour and hang with the villagers. If I have time after shiny hunting I drop back in with one of my extra players to keep the villagers happy.
My other towns are stuck on the last mover request date. Once and awhile I do play them on that date. In my guest town I'm working on the basement and in my beautiful town I need to replace furniture that I took from my 2nd extra player. I have a newer town but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. Bought a Switch so that takes up some of my game time.

 

[hamster]

haven't actually touched my ds in a few months but i used to play at least an hour a day?

 

[Rabirin]

Nowadays I barely play, but that's because i've been quite busy with real life as of lately. Usually I play 1 or 2 or maybe 3 or 4 hours on and off. When I first started the game, I could play for hours on end but now I find it much harder to give all my attention to a game and decide to go off and do other things instead. When I do play I usually just check my shops, check for moves and maybe talk to my villagers. Most of the time, I don't really talk to them, since the update made it much easier by giving a longer time period until somebody tries to move out. I also find it more important to do those two things first.

On weekends, I could play all day, but on weekdays I usually keep it under 5 hours

 

[Arckaniel]

I play as much as I possibly can xD
I really am just enjoying the game, strolling, doing errands for my villagers and such, it's very relaxing, very therapeutic actually...
I play to relieve my stress from school and such ~

 

[Pancake225]

2-4 hours.
I come back from HS at 5Pm , eat a snack and then do homework . Takes about extra 4 hours which adds up to 9pm.
Then I play AC for about 2-4 hours , Also it depends on the mood , sometimes I like playing Mario maker , Miitopia , Hey Pikmin , Happy home designer , Mario 3D land etc.

On Week ends , I play all day along as long as I don't have any upcoming tests and exams.

I haven't been playing acnl that long, only since December last year but I play about 2-3 hours a day (over the course of the day, not all at once usually) I play with all four of my characters, completing the initiatives, checking all the stores, talking to all my villagers (or at least the ones I want to keep/care more about), do their requests if I can. I check the police station and campsite, scan in an amiibo card for the coupons, maybe update my DA, dig up all bamboo and fossils (if I can find them). Sometimes go beetle hunting on the island at night. The usual stuff. I really enjoy this game, it's a great way to start my day everyday.

Sometimes I'll jus check in real quick, but since restarting my town I've been playing an hour anday. Yesterday I was moving villagers so it was more like, I think, three hours. I still haven't gotten my fill of ACNL though! I suspect I'll be playing even more once I get all the villagers settled and begin placing trees, bushes, and PWPs.
