I got to wondering about the playing habits of the regulars here and how they compared or differed from my own. So when do you;
craft?
quest?
group?
raid?
work on your house?
play the broker?
I'll come back and fill in my own responses in a bit!

This is going to seem so bizarre...
craft? When my guild leader yells at me to "start using the dang harvest depot", when I need to make status or my own personal items. Always right away in the morning though. If I craft anytime past sundown I get very sleepy.
quest?Well, I try to do daily quests that I want right away so I have my day free. Sometimes I'm in and out of the house though so that can take anywhere from an hour to as much as 3. If I'm doing a chain for a specific item, access, or update though I will do the quest all day long, or even log in/out in the same area for days at a time to get it finished. Most of the time though I just take a character to an area and start doing quests for AA/Gold though until I get bored.
group?My guild is rather small...so I rarely group unless I see someone starting a group for a zone that peaks my interest in any of the 1-90 channels. If I've been sitting around not seeing anything though I will send out a single message. One a day is all I can bear, if that.
raid?^That...only less frequently
work on your house?When I get a house item that must be placed because it's so cool and I want to show it off now! Or when I get a good idea for something and want to go try it out.
play the broker?I obsessively play it all day long.
ooh I want to add if you don't mind
Play the Gigglegibber gambling? When I'm absolutely bored and want to hear the coins raining around me. I don't ever expect to win but it's a fun pastime.

Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

craft - bonus XP weekends, need to make something, or randomly decide to do it
quest - probably what I do the most of, but I have no schedule I adhere to.. sometimes I'll do a few quests and wander off, other times I'll do an entire zone or two worth in a day
group - whenever I drag a guildie out with me, but most of the time I fly solo
raid - ha ha ha :) I raided once on Test Copy, and once for a couple of epics in SS--does that count?
work on my house - quite a bit lately (had two toons move out to Halas), but usually whenever an idea strikes
play the broker - whenever I see one!
You forgot:
shiny hunting - oooo, shiny! voice chat is funny when people are auto'd on me and I get derailed due to shinies.
Sometimes I'm very focused, most of the time I easily get distracted and hop from one thing to another. ;)
Oooo.. shiny!

I only ever get about two hours of play time a day, so whenever I can play I do what I can. It's usually at 2am, like now.
Sometimes if I'm up early and my son is either still sleeping or still mildly passive, I'll do some harvesting and crafting, but nothing that I can't just bolt in the middle of.

That's the rule here. Unless my other half is definitely "on duty" (and vice versa), no getting into anything in game that you can't leap up from immediately.

This. That's why I'm usually such a loner in game, because I need to go AFK at any moment and do quite often. ;)

Have to agree, I can never deadicate serious play time in a row, so I have to jump in and out also.
Ok I'll bite...
craft? As little as humanly possible... LOL
quest? I'm a horrible quest-a-holic, it is my main thing to do in EQ2
group? Usually evenings, when most my friends are online, after they are off work, and done eating dinner.
raid? Evenings, 1-3 nights a week. I'm not HUGE into raiding, but it can be fun for me on a limited basis.
work on your house? Every once in a while, adding things, and arrainging stuff as I get more stuff.
play the broker? Mainly weekends. I don't seem to sell much during the week.

Craft - Often, for levelling, grinding timed writs for status, making stuff for guildies, crafting quests. I usually do this when I'm dipping in & out of game, or get fed up of running through 5 zones to get a quest update
Quest - Most of the time, but usually solo
Group - Rarely, usually with guildies or occasional PUGs, mostly for HQ/Signature quests
Raid - Hardly ever, as can't commit the time
Work on House - Not often, but working on New Halas house atm
Play Broker - Most of the time, as need to earn cash
... and my add ...
Harvesting - Obsessively, everywhere I go. Gotta get those rares...

craft? Usually after adventuring. Sometimes I'll log on my provisioner, though, to restock my other characters. Occasionally I'll log on my carpenter to make furniture, or my woodworker to stock up everyone's arrows.
quest? Every day, either solo or in a small group. While questing I collect harvestables (especially roots!) and shinies. After questing, I drop off the harvested items in the depot and the shinies in my shared bank. THEN I log on each alt in turn to raid those shinies and pages and whatever out of the guild bank. What's left gets put on the broker.
group? My friends invite me into a group as soon as I log on. We use it for chat mostly, but also if one of us needs help with something the other two will mentor down or log on an appropriate character and rush to their aid!
raid? Never, too low. I'm looking forward to it, though. Someday.
work on your house? When my bags get too full of house stuffs!
play the broker? See shinies and pages, above. While I'm on the broker I'll look around for bargains. It's not my main focus.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
