    1- SWG (4years)

    2-AoC (3years)

    3-DDO (2years)

    4-EQ 2 (1 year)

    5- others (10 years for  mmo)

    UO, EQ1, AC1, DAoC & AO

     

    Each for a minimum of 2 years, EQ1, AC1 and DAoC for 3+ years each, some overlapped time.

    1.  Vanguard 300+ days played

    2.   Daoc 150+ days played

    3.  EQ1 150+ days played

    4.  Rift 200+ days played including Alpha

    5.  Horizons 100+ days played

    Lots of other MMOs with 50-150 days played.  I don't think one really has played a MMO until they have reached 100 days played.

    1. EverQuest - 6 yrs.

    2. Anarchy Online - 5 yrs.

    3. World of Warcraft - 5 yrs.

    4. Vanguard - 4 yrs.

    5. Lord of the Rings Online - 4 yrs.

     

    I still have subscriptions to all of these and play them off an on. The years only reflect continuous play (weekly at least)

     

    'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.


    When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.


    No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

    2400 hours minimum? Some of these mmo youd be doing the entire game 20 times over to meet that requirement.

    Its funny after looking at my time in on those old games (and other posters here as well) the contrast is today's MMOs are 1 week to 1 month at best anymore...

    Yah, that does limit the field of potential targets pretty substantially (really alt-friendly games).

    Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

    I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.

    I flirted with EQ2 and SWTOR, but haven't put that much time in them. 

  • BeansnBreadBeansnBread Member EpicPosts: 7,254

    1. WoW

    2. EVE

    3. EQ2

    4. UO

     

    Hmm, WoW and EVE are pretty much tied with a few years each. I haven't really stuck with any other MMORPGs for all that long a time. I've tried a ton of them. But nothing stuck like those did. UO was the first one I ever played and I got about a year out of it playing casually (even though it was at the time of PK madness).

  • NsaigoNsaigo Member Posts: 18

    FFXI 8 years.

    DAoC 5 years.

    RO 3 years.

    UO 3 years.

    WoW 1 year.

    MMO that are only available in specific countries are not mentioned since it is unlikely anyone would even know those games, and plus those have no English names.  (Japan and Taiwan local MMO mostly)

     

    Average MMORPG play time per new release since 2005 = 2-6 months max.  That is how bad it have gotten, ever since the MMORPG industry becomes mainstream, there just aren't anymore great MMORPG.  FFXI also self destructed thanks to Square-Enix, and FFXIV was launched incomplete so it was a bust.  Currently playing PC and console games awaiting the MMO industry get their act together.
