That would be nice as some additional info on your character screen. I am sure they have the details because… This is me apparently in 2020. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/2/c/32c2c1702be1abe7c2bf19fa623b4e0f7f1f7de0.jpeg) ---

I’ve only played through Steam, so I have a 90% accurate estimate of my time spent in game. I say 90% because I have noticed Steam will correct some hours if it thinks I’m idling. ---

And supposedly these are my stats for 2020. Definitely not looking too good… ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/1/c/d1cadcf34f16413931cf0f4540093fde3282f913.jpeg) Since there’s 8760 hours in one year, it seems I only spent 6.83% of my time playing Eve during Covid year 2020… ---

That misses the most important part though: Time spent on the EVE-O Forums 🙂 ---

Of course, if you have multiple characters on a single account it only gave data for the character you chose. And only the Omega accounts were able to generate reports. 2019 report was much better IMO. ---

Don’t worry even CCP won’the make that info esi retrivable. That one Ratter has been in an anom 23/7 for the last 7 years. Totally normal human boosting our login numbers. ---

You used to be able to get this number from the loglite application. It was displayed as part of the logging system unfortunately this was removed some time ago. I think you can get it via the ESI system but I have never been able to get it to work. I’d love an idiots guide or web based app to do it. ---

You can probably figure it out via your in game character sheet with a bit of work. But, you might want to do it sooner vs. Later. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/5/4/1544ceb92399ef41ec9c150c472fad244506a56e.png) ---

Interesting question… do you leave your logs forever like I do? Then a small script might work. For example on Windows you might use Powershell. I only want 2021 here: ```auto $datetimeregex = '\d{4}.\d{2}.\d{2}\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}' $datetimeformat = "yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss" $filefilteryear = "2021" $f =Get-ChildItem ([environment]::getfolderpath("mydocuments") + "\EVE\logs\Gamelogs\$filefilteryear" + "*.txt" ) $played = New-TimeSpan foreach ($l in $f) { $a = Get-Content($l) try { $start = [dateTime]::ParseExact((($a[3] | select-string -Pattern $datetimeregex -AllMatches ).matches.value),$datetimeformat,$null) $end = [dateTime]::ParseExact((($a[$a.count-1] | select-string -Pattern $datetimeregex -AllMatches ).matches.value),$datetimeformat,$null) $played += New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End $end } catch {} } $played ``` Not too bad for me: Days : 13 Hours : 19 Minutes : 57 Seconds : 13 Milliseconds : 0 Ticks : 11950330000000 TotalDays : 13.831400462963 TotalHours : 331.953611111111 TotalMinutes : 19917.2166666667 TotalSeconds : 1195033 TotalMilliseconds : 1195033000 ---
