What? Have you forgotten the first law of Paragon forums already?

Fix'd.

But time to run to work now. Later, folks!

Actually I wonder if anyone has some Browncoat connections and could get them to help us out?

If I recall correctly, at one time there was an NPC, that when clicked would tell you the total time you had spent in Paragon City.

If my memory is correct, does anyone know which one it was?

Would that be good information to use to promote an individual's interest in the game?  I can easily see people getting a negative impression from a number like that.  "You spent 10,000 hours doing what?" might well be the reaction you don't want people to have.

Find an NPC whose game starts with "M" and chat with - click on them = according to a forum post & I'm pretty sure that's right - it tells you how much time on that character.

This seems to work.  I found 'Mica' circling around the tram station in Talos.

I tried two different characters with these results:

Ms Blue Eyes - 1614 hours "on patrol"
Society Dame - 697 hours "on patrol"

That's 2311 hours just on two characters.

I'm concerned about how high the total might be if I added up all my characters.

There is a fine line between devotion and obsession.

I believe the timer counter continues if you're logged off if you're in a TF. (Ouroboros arcs count as TFs)

It also counts time spent afk in game, which inflates my numbers a good amount.
