18 Hour Epic Battle in FFXI MMORPG
How far will you go for an MMORPG? A group of MMORPG gamers played for 18 hours straight just to try and kill one boss-mob. Tried, because they failed to do so -- an 18 hour, non-stop, effort gone to waste. Final Fantasy XI's Pandemonium Warden was the mob in question. The boss of this mob goes through some 20 different forms, some of which regen to 100% health, each of which spawns along with minion monsters.
"...After you kill all of the above [20 forms of the boss] he will pop with "hatched" lamps -- smaller chair dudes", posted Sylphet, chronicling their experience in frustration. "We killed all of the Lamps and at 75% he popped another 8 and regened to 100%. We attempted again but the lamps were faster this time and we wiped after killing just one." The group started playing at 3:30 pm EST, U.S, and finally ended at 9:00 AM the next morning: "People were passing out and getting physically ill," Sylphet continued. "We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people's lives."

I wish I had the patience to play a game for that long.

My longest marathon was playing Perfect Dark Zero on X360 for 27 Hours straight. It was the first day I got my 360 and XB Live was so addictive.

Is this game really that intense? Or were these people just not sleeping or something? 18 hrs of gaming shouldn't make you pass out..

Well MMO games are really intense and from the looks of it these guys could not have afforded a 5 min break so it's really 18 hours of constant playing without a break for food or just resting your eyes/hands.
