As the title says, what's the longest you or anyone you know has subbed without actually playing? My record is 2 months on a few occasions with lotro, wow and aoc.
Comments
over the time? multiple years on eve.
I guess WOW. The last two or three months I was subbed to the game I did log on long enough to say hi to folks and run a BG session or two, I did this maybe three times a week. I dont call that playing really but I dont know if hat counts to your question.
WOW isnt great because it has 12 million players. WOW has 12 million players because its great.
12 months on WoW when i was deployed and couldn't play, lmao, dunno why i never unsubbed... lol
I've only paid for 1 month of game where I wasn't playing. I had gone to Costa Rica though and thought i would have net access and didn't.

5 months on WOW, waiting for my 6 month sub to run out
Gaming since Avalon Hill was making board games.
Played SWG, EVE, Fallen Earth, LOTRO, Rift, Vanguard, WoW, SWTOR, TSW, Tera
Tried Aoc, Aion, EQII, RoM, Vindictus, Darkfail, DDO, GW, PotBS
several years at $15 a month without playing.... ouch!As long as you're training a skill you're not wasting money.
This is not a game.

oh yeah I forgot u can train offline in Eve. I hadn't considered that when I came up with the post.about a year training on eve.
going on 4 months in eve and i dont see it changing in the forseeable future. i station spin and actually trained up some trade skills now i just marketwhore. in 0.0. i make pretty good isk too but umm... im pvp spec and the game is ubersuck right now. i wish i got a betakey to world of tanks instead of lotro lol. From the looks of what im seeing, I will GLADLY pay 15 bucks a month quite possibly alot more than that if i like the game and see its worth supporting in its early stages. I am so eager to jump off the bandwagon of EVE its not even funny. Just to be rid of it would be a blessing lol
Subbed without paying? 0 months for me. If a week goes by without playing, I cancel immediately.

Right now entering second week of paying but not playing Lineage 2. Crap game, cant force myself to grind anymore.
Same here. I'm chea- I mean frugal like that!
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

A month to both WoW and AoC. Mostly because I wasn't sure if I was going to return or not to play it on occassion. Usually I cancel the subscription to MMOs a week or two after I've lost interest in playing them.
defenitely EVE online. It's my favorite Boring game...it doesn't even need me to train!

If I don't play, I don't pay.

The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question.
I think that's about my max too. If I'm anticipating a busy month or 2 (usually the summer) I don't sub at all. If I notice I'm going more than 4 or 5 days without caring to play I'll quit for awhile.
I got a friend who has the StationPass and pays 2 other subs just to keep his accounts active, even tho' he spends most of his time now playing stand alone games.
I consider that madness.
I kill other players because they're smarter than AI, sometimes.
6-7 years. Runescape. I quit after the new 3D one was released in beta and I quit and forgot and just cancelled it because of this post!
So thanks for this post, saved me $5 a month

Get out of your box already...
At least 6-8 months in EVE, where I was just setting the really hard to gain skills and playing something else. At some point I realised I was just *that* bored with it, and decided it wasn't worth staying subbed to if I was just doing it to let timers run down.
On the bright side, if I ever return, my char has maxed out learning skills (to make future times shorter) and drone interfacing rank 5, so my Domi will resume smoking the competition. I had a lot of really high skills on that guy.

This is just some rough math so if I'm off, eh.
But 5 bucks a month a year is 60 bucks, and for 6 years that'd be 360 dollars that you just noticed?
That's one helluva night at a stripclub gone.

Come on, we've all forgotten a subscription now and then.
I forgot Aion for 2 months though, but it's okay since it earned me some veteran bonuses :P
