1: 12 hours, with only one toilet break after the first 4 (stupid Downtime)
2: Before I started, I had 24 cans of Coke. Afterwards, I had none (had to share with my brother who was sitting right beside me playing EVE too).
3: Sleep? After 12 hours of EVE? I had plenty of time to sleep on the way home from vacation. I had to catch up with EVE and various TV shows.
4: High-sec. I heard there were some belts that hadn't been cleaned up in the week I'd been gone.

Level 4 mission that took me 5 hours. And I didn't even finish it, I ended up losing my ship in the last room. Good times.

1. Probably around 14 hours
2. Tea, always tea. Probably ate curry.
3. Think I slept for around 8 or 9 hours afterwards
4. 0.0, a few months ago when the Delve war started. I remember guarding an SBU solo on one character while leading a T3 BC roam on my other character at the same time.

the longest session i ever had was about two star trek episodes... it was about a half ounce and took up about 20 zig zag papers... the thing looked like a little slugger baseball bat...

A few months ago a scammed a few nubs for quite a bit of isk all in the same day, besides the ~6 hours it took pulling all that together I then proceeded to go on a full day pvp marathon. No sleep, only stopped for bio and food when it was possible. All in all probably 26-30 hours idk how much exactly. After a certain point it was hard to distinquish between fights that happened an hour earlier and a week before Smile. Would do again Blink

Edit: seems like everyone is listing the substances that kept them going so...
1)loads of coffee/tea
2)Beer
3)And last but not least my girl mary j

I've done 20 a few times on EVE. My longest gaming record was 36. It involved a lot of coffee, alcohol, and sudafed.

On a more serious note, probably about 12 hours with short breaks to answer the call of nature and making coffee.

Actually, long sessions on Eve make me mentally tired as one always has to be alert to possible attacks from gankers.

To relax is to die.

Never played EVE that long straight, L2 on the other hand was ~60 hours straight.

Energydrinks, water and noodles.

1. Whats your longest session

17 hours 12 minutes. I was timing myself, hence the specificity.

2. Did you have refreshments?

Yes. One gets the munchies.

3. How much sleep did you get when it was over?

Too much; I woke more exhausted than when I first closed my eyes.
In retrospect, sleep is merely a poor substitute for caffeine.

Bonus question 4. What sec were you in when you did this?

Mostly High Sec. I do not believe my heart could have withstood the strain otherwise.



May I ask - What have I just won?

[i]I have seen so much of it, that truly I know nothing of it, except that it embaces me.

This but obviously not as long.

I even DREAM about Eve. I really should start writing some fiction for people to rip to bits - I mean read

And as for refreshments - coffee, alcohol, weed and a heap of sandwiches that I made quickly during downtime. :)
My missus thinks of EvE as 'the other woman'. :)

Thanks for your answers


1. 30 hours
2. Bio issues intake and exhaust handled on warps.
3. 6 hours
4. Null sec.

Waiting for the re-enforcement fleet to arrive on chain CTA. My first experience in null and soon proved to be my last for a long time after that. We held while the support fleet approached. A lot of us had a lot invested in the space and we didn't want to lose it.

Turns out there never really was a support fleet coming. The enemy fleet amassing nearby was just disorganized about getting moving or it would have been over much much sooner. Our support fleet that we had been told was protecting us did not actually exist. We had been had, not in a scam to get our isk, but by fast talking incompetence.

Funny follow up was that the next day, after the beating, we said we were pulling out of the alliance. We were then accused of giving away intel because our announcement to leave was what triggered then attack. Not sure what time travel method was used there, but but being in a hauler in a fleet of blues and then suddenly being set to red makes one GTFO ASAP. I was told i had a five minute head start. It was only my luck that I hit an enemy gate camp the same time they caught up to me that allowed me to escape to high-sec.
