I remember some nice CS LAN parties in our flat, about week long, sometimes gaming nonstop for over 30 hours.
Also I had some crazy 70 hour+ sessions consisting of playing WoW at home, then short trip to work, playing WoW during night shift about 80% of the time, going home, WoW instead of sleep, repeat the process. Did this several times for 2-3 days in a row.
12-18 hour sessions during free time each day are pretty normal also.

We'll Eve is down everyday for an hour. So I would say close to 20-23 hrs a day when it first came out. Me and my corp mates did this for 5-6 days a week for over a year and a half. We had those times when it would be 48-72 hrs with a short nap. Now I probably play 4-9 hrs a day. Most of the time spent in Eve still, but I play the 360, PS3, and Wii more today then I used to play consoles. I have terrible sleeping habits still today.

12 Days(288hrs) - 1 Day(24hrs)(2hrs per day we took for naps and showers) = 11 Days on CoV
My wife, two other friends, and myself staged a two week kickbuttnanza on CoV. We took our two hour breaks, for naps/showers, when daily maintenance started every day. We ate while we played, heh, yall should have seen our keyboards and mice afterwards. We didn't make it the complete two weeks because my friend's boss was being a butt and said that he really needed him at work and our kickbuttnanza didn't feel right without him so we stopped. But that was the best 12 days I have ever spent in a game.
We are going to try to do it again later this summer. Shoot, it would be amazing if we could go a full month like that. And for those that play CoV, we were kicking butt with 3 Fire/Kin Corruptors and 1 Elec/Elec Brute. Oh the wonderful damage numbers flying up!
SWG 16 hours the first time i logged in Friends come by and took a look and asked me what the hell was fun about running around a in a big desert (tatooine). And I was in heaven...
This made me lolrl.
I remember that day. Was fun. I went crafter. I was running around frantically to gather resources and found a group of 4 people outside coronet by the water teaching each other surveying and what not. So there I plunked for 24hrs. Watching the system messages, chat, and making massive amounts of useless garbage heh.
Myth of Soma, korean game, 32 hours straight doing nothing but crafting. Was my first MMO ever. I got more addicted to WoW than that but I never did an all nighter on WoW.
Played DAOc for 49 hours once, SWG for 31 hours, Wow, for 34 hours... I am a good binge player
Oh i also had a character logged on a new serve in DAOC for 3 weeks, exping 985 of the time, tagged this one between my brother and me.

I did a grind session on SWG pre cu days, it started around 4pm when I got home from work, I had the next day off work so played all through the night, found I got past the point of being tired played throughout the day, took an hour sleep break, got up carried on playing till I had to go to work. I wouldn't reccomend it and aren't really proud either bare in mind the suggested time to play for is 2 hours before taking a break or something like that?
About 72 hours. I was on Skype with my mate most of the time, and in the end he got really annoying (He screamed in the mic when I was about to fall asleep)
back in the day playing EQ I decided not to sleep for a Vox Raid. 6am in the morning and I think we wiped, so we had to recover corpses and there was some bug or whatever. Died so many times that just logged off as I was so tired. I swore never again after that to play so long.
60 hours without breaks, then shower/coffe break and more 12~18 hours (first time on Ultima Online's gauntlet).
