    In the past work commitments have always gotten in the way. Hopefully not this time, I don't need to work so hard now  :)

    WoW for about 4 years.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    In my opinion, the last 8 years have not produced a game worth playing for multiple years. If you did though I understand because the choices were limited. 

    I strongly feel that Ashes of Creation will bring playable longevity back to the genre.

    DAoC, then no one else has spurred my curiosity for more than a year, being generous.

    It was a p2w game and was getting ridiculous with the rng. If it wasn't for that I'd still be playing it today. I've never been in a game with the same community spirit and I really hope that Ashes will offer the communtiy experience I desire ^^ If it does this will be my game forever :)

    You cant really put a time on it. It all boils down to a lot of considerations being enjoyment, structure, community and great expansions. What kills a MMO are the devs.

    I also go by the motto 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. This motto needs to be plastered on all screens.

    That's about how long you can go in BDO before you pull yout hair out, so that sounds about right.

    Seeing at what year people quit is usually a good indicator of when the devs killed it, went p2w, or free to play. @NightshadeRaven

    I like to think our poor mmo desicisons in the past have allowed us to see something amazing when we see it xD learned from our past mistakes ^^
    I truly see greatness in Ashes and I'll make sure that hype train keeps going even beyond launch xD

    Of all the days I spent in MMORPGs, most of them were in EverQuest 2.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    SWG.  No other game has kept me interested anywhere near as long.

    5-6 years and for like 8-10 hours every day. It was on DDO. but then they started to make changes I didn't like so I started to play less and less, and eventually stopped.

    I never regetted spending so much time in one game. It's all good memories now :)
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Eq2 and wow...
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Though I can mark 10+ years due to off and on playing of Wow since day 1, I don't know that there were any real continuous periods of time I ever played. The first couple years for sure, but after that it was sporadic. The only game I can really say I played with decent longevity was Everquest, but really only actively for 2-3 years or so straight.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    If you consider "on and off" playtime then 14 years on MU Online.  If you're talking about no breaks, then a year on BDO,FF14, GW2 and Dekaron.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    SWG for 4 years, SWTOR for 5 years, ArcheAge/BDO for 1 year.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    If I was to add all my mmo time it would be around 14 years. I put 9 because that was the most time I had spent in any 1 mmo. I have tried everything under the sun since quitting Lineage 2 it feels like though. 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    If you add my time it would be around 6 years but I spent the most time in Everquest for around 3 years 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Asherons Call - 17 years
    WoW - 12 years (still going.. unhappily)
    Guild Wars - 1 year
    Order and Chaos 2 - 2 years 


  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    normal .done all content and start getting bored as new games will draw me in 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I usually stick with a game for longer periods of time due to loyalty or obligation to a guild (especially if I'm an officer, I feel I let the guild down if I leave for my own reasons).  It ends up being that I leave a game because too many guildies leave, or low population on server, or other issues like that.

    Order and Chaos...lol I played that for around 2 years myself.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Is this solid time or do we count 2 yrs with a year break the another 2yrs as 4yrs or only 2?
