How often do you play?

[RedRum2514]

I'm thinking of taking a break from the game as its getting a lil' boring and its pressuring having to up keep my town everyday, and when I eventually come back to it i'd reset the date to when I went on my break so I wouldn't lose anything, but then again i'd have to work my way up to the current day and I might lose a villager if I'm not careful.

so what I wanna know is how often do you guys play? how do you go about returning after taking a break, and have you ever lost any villagers after working your way up to the current day?

I play in spurts. I'll play every day for a while and the stop playing for a few months and then go back to playing every day.

1-2 hours a day.
When I reset, i'll try for about 5 hours...

I get up early every morning to play over breakfast so I can relax before work. It's about 1-2 hours, depending on how early I manage to get out of bed. I do have multiple towns, so there's always plebty to do! I don't take really long breaks most of the time, but whenever I return to the game, I just TT back to the last played day. I've long ago given up hope on playing in real time, though. I hate TTing forward.

I usually play about 1-2 hours per day when I'm doing nothing. That's probably my best guess as an average

But if I'm studying, then I only play during weekends mostly once or twice per week. I've also had times when I've taken months off playing when I just don't have time to play. But when I return from a break, I binge-play it like 5-6 hours per day xD There's no in-between for me.

I play every day 1 or 2 hours a day depending on what I feel what I need to do.
When I have a short hiatus I don't TT back to the point where I left. I just continue and face my consequences. Only villagers I can about right now is Maple and Vesta. So it doesn't effect me much on who moves out.

I play in spurts too. There are days where I'm very active, playing multiple hours in one sitting, but when that slows down it's reduced to maybe an hour a day just to get the usual chores done. For me, AC is a game that is very um... seasonal, I guess you could say? And I don't mean in the obvious sense. What I mean is that it's a game I enjoy during particular times of the year, and not consistently all year round.

Even though my activity within the game has slowed down to the minimal again, I'm trying to not take a break like I usually do. Every time it happens, I stop playing for months, sometimes even a year, so I tend to miss a lot of important things while I'm on break. I've never seen Spring in ACNL, for example; that is usually the time that I don't bother loading up the game at all. I want to experience it this year though, so I'm hanging in there. I find being active on this forum helps a little bit too. Even though my interest in playing the game has dwindled, I still enjoy being around here and reading some threads gives me the drive to keep playing.

1 - 2 hours every day in New Leaf and second GCN town. 1 -2 hours every Saturday in my first GCN town. I play my e+ town only when I feel like it.

Right now, I play for around an hour a day. A few weeks ago, I played for, gosh, 4 or 5 hours a day! I often take a few months off and just TT backwards. Even though I've had the game for years, this is my first Winter : )

I usually play off and on for a couple hours every day, but sometimes there's periods when I'm just completely uninterested in the game. That's when I only play maybe only once or twice for that whole week.

i took like a 6 month break until october, and i've been playing about an hour a day a few times a week since then~

 

[Gabi<3AnimalCrossing]

I'm starting to get back in to the game, playing 1-2 hours a day, though when I'm bored of the game I take 2-6 months off. I hope I don't take any breaks in 2017!

 

[hamster]

i'm not playing that often right now. i've only been on to trade or buy from people.

 

[HopeForHyrule]

If I'm not really feeling the desire to play, I'll log on just long enough to check if anyone is thinking of moving and then call it quits. At most, I'll play maybe an hour or so. But that's also because I have four towns to go through.

 

[GreenLeaf]

currently I play everyday for several hours thanks to the upadate since I have to gather all the objects for two more houses
but before the update I stopped to play almost entirely for two years ^_^

 

[visibleghost]

very rarely lmao it is because of school and mental illnesses i just cant play bc of it

 

[CaramellNeko]

I play every day now, but I DID take a break from the game for two years haha

 

[Xara]

i used to play a lot everyday. now i just play maybe a couple times per week, with several hours in-between each session

 

[Dogemon]

I try to play a minimum of once a week if I can help it. I usually play it in short bursts and then get bored for a bit before going back to it, which I don't really recommend lol.

 

[Takeru]

I try and check my game at least once a day as long as I have the time to. There are definitely days where I'm uninterested in playing though so on those I'll just do things like check what's in stores and dash by my neighbors to see if anyone is moving.
