Type /played in the chat box and press Enter. The game replies in your chat window with two numbers: your total time played on that character, and your time played at your current level.
What it counts
- It counts time logged in on that character only. Each character has its own number.
- Time sitting idle while logged in counts too, so an AFK hour in a city adds to it.
- It doesn't add up your whole account. To get an account total, log in to each character and add the numbers.
How fast is your leveling
Your time at your current level tells you how long the level has taken so far. Compare your total with what other players report on how long 1 to 60 takes. Most estimates run from about 100 to 200 hours.
