There are multiple games I played for around 2 years. Wow, GW2, Warhammer, diablo, starcraft, atlantica online... etc
But the most I can play the same game is 2 years tops, after that I move on to new game.
So when I heard people say: "if you like that game so much, why aren't you still playing it?"
but who the heck play the same game for years and on, or even decades?

Sincerely,
- Still subscribed to WoW with the same main I created on launch day 2004 (though I have about 8 years of unsubbed time in those 14½ years).

Authored 139 missions in Vendetta Online and 6 tracks in Distance
Morrowind 2002 - 2004
EQ2 for about 6 years or so maybe was as much as 8 hard to keep track.Now i think about it was there day 1 and went about 5 years straight,then off/on until about a year ago,so likely closer to 10.
Played Silkroad for about 4 years.
Played UT99 from 99,Unreal the year before and still play play it on occasion,so 20 years later.
Still play Langrisser 2 and Bandit Kings of Ancient China,both of which have to be very old games.
Once in a while i still load up old Might n Magic games and still play Age of Empires 3 which has to be 10 years old or so.Looked it up,2005 so been playing AOE for 14-15 years.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The closest is Anarchy Online which I played off and on since release day to today.
EVE off and on since shortly after SWG NGE.
Every other game, no more than a month or two and some that I rotate through in no particular order.
AO
EVE
DCUO
WoW
WoT
ESO
PS2
***BTW, I know EVE probably isn't the best game to have in short period rotation since you need real time to progress, not counting skill injectors.
EQ1 for about 3 years (2001-2003 or 4). This was logging in every chance I got for that time, though towards the end it was not like that at all.
CoH for about 4 years (2004 through 2008) logging in every chance I got, then off and on sporadically until the shut down in 2012, which I didn't even log on for.
Wizard101 I played almost everyday for about 2 years (2009 to 2010) and still log on when the mood hits me, which could be months apart.
What kept me playing was my alt-itis.
I knew every starter zone in EQ1 like the back of my hand.
CoH was so different that i'd be playing one hero, get an idea for another, then log off and create the new hero.
Wizard101 only had 7 schools of magic (life, death, storm, myth, fire, ice, and balance) that each young wizard got to choose from, one major school, one minor one. Wizard101 was the first MMORPG I actually got a character to max level.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
In one run, Everquest 1.7 years (appx)
oops forgot GW2 - that was a couple years I think
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
Aloha Mr Hand !
I've played Minecraft since Alpha, and still play it today with all the mod packs out there, for thousands and thousands and thousands of hours. *WINNER for most time played prbly...*
LOTRO I'm in and out of a few times a year every year, but played a solid 2-3 years at one point, and have thousands of hours into it.
WoW I usually come back to after expacs, but BFA was the shortest I stayed...prbly a little before and 7 or so months after, but have thousands of hours into it.
Gut Out!
What, me worry?
same with Runescape, think that was the first online game I played after checkers on yahoo games, that was back in junior high, back in 2000-2001 I think. I've got an active sub to it right now.
I played wow pretty religiously back during BC but stop playing after a year or two, never got to play vanilla, but i hit up WOTLK, Cata, and Legion as well, if only for a month or two each.
I still play some of the Anno games, 1602, 1404, DoD... Ect. Although the new ones havn't really done it for me.
Donno, haven't really been invested in a game in a long time. Maybe CU or Crowfall will hit the spot if they ever come out.
Holy crap!
I have 1507 hours in skyrim
I have 220 hours in Skyrim special Editon and ... drum roll please ...
2,761 in the creation kit which is me working on my mod!!!!!
