The Daily Grind: What's your longest MMO relationship?

My longest run was definitely EQ played more than 7 years... However since then due to what I missed sticking with it only DAoC and others. I now will only mill around for about 3 years per title.

Guild Wars is definately my longest running game. I've played it pretty solidly (taking the occasional month or so off) since the original weekend preview events, I guess that means 5-6 years now!

5 Years with WoW. Before that DAoC and TSN/INN held the record at two years.

World of Warcraft. From release til about the time WAR released. Tried to return, never got back into it though.

I haven't let my subscription lapse with City of Heroes yet, but I'm also very happy that I bought the lifetime subscription to LOTRO.

Other torrid affairs I've had are SWG, EQ2, WAR, AA, TR, DDO, GW and a one night stand with DAoC. (Nothing against DAoC mind you, was just checking it out with a friend one night.) Plenty of others I'd like to try or play more, but my true loves are the first two.

4 years and some with WoW is the absolute longest I ever stuck to a game. No matter how much I can bitch about WoW nowadays (I no longer play it), I'll definitely always give them credit for holding my attention that long.

I've had an on and off again relationship (currently on) with WoW since it was released.
Though to be honest, I often think about Asheron's Call, my first true MMO love. It started to show it's age and I left it behind, though I often think to myself that I may have made a mistake in doing so...
Recently I committed to a lifetime relationship with StarTrek Online.

I think EQ was my longest. Followed by EVE and WoW.

Guildwars for me! I have played that game since the weekend it came out. So what, six years? I can remember when it took you well over a month to level to twenty. No you can pretty much do it in a day. Heh.. oh the day.

Asheron's Call 4 years
Horizon 2 weeks
City of Heroes 8 months
World of Warcraft 5.5 years and still ongoing..

Asheron's Call 1999 to 2001

WoW for about 5 years, the last 2 have been off and on, until a month ago when I fully stopped

SWG from release to before SWG ruined it with that one update, forgot how long exactly it was, but I played it for quite a bit

my longest has been FFXI since ps2 release til 2006

Relationship: It's complicated with World of Warcraft.

EQ2 since day one.

I've never played any game for longer than 3 months. But I still play Ultima Online time to time if we were discuss oldest ones.

My longest is 4 years in City of Heroes - though I started playing 5 years ago and had a 1 year break after the first year. That also makes it the only MMO I've ever quit but later returned to. It's also the only MMO I've played where I enjoy the basic gameplay - I play most MMOs for their lore/exploration and quit when I feel like I've seen most of what I want to see - with CoH I actually enjoy the minute-to-minute gameplay.

The only MMO I've played for close to that long is the original EverQuest, which I played for just over 3 years from launch in 1999 until 2002. Guild raiding commitments and a lack of competing MMOs were more responsible for that long subscription than the quality of EQ itself, though it also had a better designed world for exploration than any MMO I've ever played (CoH included) - the zones felt more like a world than levels of a designed game, something that EQ2 and most other MMOs I've played have failed at (CoH included).

No other MMO has kept me entertained for more than 9 months - BC-era WoW only lasted me 6 months.
