Didn't bother to read it all so maybe someone else posted something similar :S But I figure if you're putting in as much time on a game as a full time job thats a hardcore gamer.
I was about to come in and post pretty much that exact scale, so I guess I'll just quote it instead.

2 hours a month is far more than I watch TV, and almost as much as I watch movies...

Anyways, casual player now - 2-3 hours/day, 4-6 days/week

Used to be hardcore - 8-12/day, 9 days/week



Yes, nine days in a week

I'm playing only 10-15 hrs/week, due to real life "restrictions" (job, family, friends, ...). I guess that counts as casual, although it's mostly forced, not deliberate.

I used to play 50+ hrs/week when I didn't have wife and kid yet, and my job was less demanding.

I consider myself pretty casual. I may play one to two hours a night. Sometimes not even that. For instance, if I have plans on a Friday night. I'll play mostly weekends. Maybe 3-5 hours a day, unless there's an event I'm interested in (like a triple Green weekend). Then I'll most likely play more.

I was more hardcore early on. I couldn't play mega-hours during the week naturally, but weekends I'd easily log 10-12 hours a day playing Prophecies.

It averages out for my whole time playing Guild Wars to be about an hour and 20 minutes a day. There are days I don't play at all though and for awhile after Factions (like 3 months) that I didn't play then at all either. I consider myself a VERY casual player. I'm all PvE, all the time when i play too. Nothing hardcore about me.
