Why: I've long wished that I could participate in a competitive league without feeling obligated to push unhealthily long play sessions for the first couple of weeks to keep up with market saturation and leaderboards. I'm starting this quarterly league to hopefully build a community where all participants are like minded in wanting to enjoy healthy competition, rather than competition with a side of brain aneurysm.

I will be covering the launch up to 50 players as needed, and then crowd funding from there. The biggest challenge I think will be enforcing the rolling 16 hour limit. My hope though is that honor system is enough given that the type of player who wants to go 30+ hour sessions with 3 hours of sleep in between likely won't have interest in a league like this that will be perceived as casual, so hopefully the 16 hour restriction will be self regulating since everyone participating is like-minded. Unsane has added a feature request at https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2251574 which would allow this to be enforced as a league mod!

Ohhh good idea. I wonder if GGG could easily create a league mod that enforces a set /played per day across all characters in the league...

Although 16 hrs is still unhealthy levels to me. I guess it's all relative. :)

Ya that's where I figured allowing for a full night's sleep is the only objective target we could aim for as to what qualifies as "healthy" after that you get into a lot of variables around lifestyle and personal priorities and what not.

A /played lock would be amazing. The poor guy who accidentally afks all night though lol

Up for visibility. So far looking like a go from what I've seen participating in a current private league will be easy enough to populate this. Will bump once more before betrayal actually launches. Still looking for ideas/suggestions!

I posted a suggestion for something like this, fingers crossed.

Awesome. I didn't even think to add a suggestion for it being enforced by the league natively. Would be very easy I bet.

League signups are now available thanks to the most recent update! Signup at https://www.pathofexile.com/private-leagues/league/Healthy+BHC . I've updated the home page with this as well. Start time has been changed for the league to no longer allow a 10 minute window, since this is unnecessary now that private leagues allow us to queue a league to start synchronously with launch.

Semi-offtopic but I just heard Chris Wilson talking about this very idea in a Baeclast from 7 months ago! So it could easily be in the plans.

Edit: btw while i appreciate the invite to your league, you can remove me as i won't be participating. Either gonna do a short GSF with IRL friends or skip the league (distracted by Valve's Artifact :).

Good find! And will do. Ouch a rough league to have to sit out.

A little over 24h! Currently 8/20
