I for one have been a firm believer in shutting down the system when I am not on it, so I save and get out of the game. (BTW, I save every 12 hours of game play.)

I'm not too worried about load times as I have a fairly robust system.

What I do worry about is the fact that as I am connected to the internet, (broadband cable, router with firewall, etc.) and knowing the types of idiots that are out there just looking for a ping, I figure the less time I leave my system open to something like that the better off I am going to be.

So for security reasons alone ... shut it down.
