I have this game, it's not really demanding but it's an mmorpg and in order to sell stuff you need to be logged on and in game. So can leaving my PC over night with this game running damage it?

each PC component had their own lifespan, just remember that
of course if you're grinding like that it won't be a problem as long as ur PC is not hot, but u'll be wasting your components lifespan by AFKing like that

Remember, look at your electric bill, consider how much your PSU is using (600W? 1000W?) and then take that amount and ADD that many more hours of POWER used, and be ready for your HEAFTY Power bill to come in.

Many people whom used to run the Bitcoin machines ran them 24 hours a day, and (as noted about heat) had VERY HUGH Electric bills suddenly.

Just letting you know, if the game play is worth it, just be ready for the addition costs.

Keep in mind that just because you have a 600W PSU, it isn't pulling 600W. It only converts what the system demands.

For instance, I have a 520W; the computer will use only 400W at full tilt (GPU + CPU fully loaded). So, it's actually pulling less, and the PSU is ~80% efficient in converting AC to DC.

You can get something like a Kill A Watt to monitor wattage pulled from the wall.
