I'm probably taking my phone off the hook for at least a week's playtime when it all starts up.
Clients be damned! LOL
I am expecting to be bleary-eyed, caffeinated and having my landline unavailable ..well I'd better be careful I'll have people knocking at the door wondering if I'm still alive LOL But I'll be in there living in the Pantheon virtural world as much as possible. :)
Yeah I get 2 weeks paid vaca each year, so I imagine I'd probably use it all then. Huge stockpile of pre-cooked food/bottled water. Average 5 hours of sleep per night. Go back to work looking like a caveman.
I used to pee in bottles at my desk during hardcore gaming sessions in college (TMI? haha) but fortunately I think Pantheon will have enough built-in downtime that it won't be necessary this time lol.
I don't know how much time I'll have saved up by the time release rolls around. My 2nd little monster is due to join the family in August so I'll be taking some time off for that. Now if the game is out at that point, or at least in beta, I might use some of that time to play, but obviously it can't be a priority lol.
At least a week. Like @Shucklighter, the time of year will play a role in how much time I can take at launch. Fall is an exceptionally busy time of year for me so it would be difficult to take more than a week from mid-September - mid-December. Summer and winter would be easier to take two weeks. The unfortunate part is that fall is my favorite time to play games; the weather changes and the rains begin, makes for some cozy gaming sessions ;)
I max at 200 hours vacation time saved. Which is currently maxed. So I will be using all 5 weeks when Pantheon releases. My wife and I are moving in the next couple of months back to a larger city. My company transfered me AGAIN !. So I will have high speed internet at the house again. So yea, going to use all 5 weeks. I figure 35 days at the computer is a good starting point

Haha, wow! Five weeks, nice!
In fairness, I have nearly complete autonomy with my job so I can pretty well come and go as I please (if you can even use that term when working from home...) so I will actually have more time than my vacation time dictates. So long as I get what needs to be done completed then there are no questions asked. And I can also front load a ton of work to get a few extra days, I will just have to plan accordingly when we have a timeline for launch.
I imagine I will try to take at least a few days off, maybe bookend a weekend with Friday/Monday off. Not sure how much vacation time I will have come release, nor how stable servers will be since more often than not the first few days/week can be a real pain in the rump for stability.
I'm literally taking time off. I am also getting my son an account. Then my I, my wife, my son, and the rest of my guild will be there for launch. I typically do enjoy a spot of rum and some Dr. Pepper followed by some delivery pizza and a late night. Right until I realize I have four kids at 2AM and I look over at Lycian and go "Yeah, we should probably go to sleep." Then I resume the next morning after I sleep because i'm weak. lol
