Funny how you mention it in past tense... Guess you quited shortly after GoD expansion..?
Was playing like a mad man until C5. In CT series, after the Garcia expansion I quit playing. I did try GoD, it was not good, they killed the game with that one.
I would gladly pay again to start playing C1 in a new server, think most lineage2 players would
Originally posted by colddog04 What is strange to me about this thread is that people wear their long term play time like a badge of honor; like playing one game for a very long time is some kind of a virtue. I've always been slightly embarrassed by how much I play these games and how long I've played any one in particular.
I take it you don't have many friends that are hobbyists or sports fanatics. There's probably a couple reasons for me to be embarrassed to be a Mets fan, but watching their games for several decades is certainly not one of them. It's passion for a pasttime. Passion for something that one feels a part of.
Is it a badge of honor that one was on server x when player y did amazing task z? Or that one was there before the The Great Nerfing of [year/patch]?
For someone really into the game/community, it's perfectly reasonable for them to consider it to be.

I don't consider myself to have really played an MMO if it wasn't my primary game for a year.
Anything less is just a test drive.
That's sort of the same way I feel about relationships

Just WoW, honestly. GW2 hasn't been out a year yet, and I haven't found many MMO's other than those to be worth a year's worth of constant play. Hopefully Wildstar will change that, but if it doesn't, it'll be in good (short-term) company at least.
I played ffxi for a few months when it came out in 2003 and then returned a year later in 2004 and played consistently other than when I was in basic training until 2009. Then returned a year ago and played for about 14 months.
Just Phantasy Star Online , Phantasy Star Universe and SWTOR. Hopefully PSO2 will be my fourth , when we eventually get it , *looks at Sega*.

Dragon realm Old school mud loved this game . EQ played that for a long time . DAOC about a year or so . WOW was the last one I have played for a long time, The stuff that is out now I do not think it will hold my attention for a year. I am hoping Wild Star might Hold my attention for a year or so .
Unfortunately, I haven't found much to play for a very long time after I left WoW. I've played GW2 very casually since release. I suppose there is a possibility that I will reach a year with GW2.
ive played many mmos for over a year, but none of them were constantly day by day nonstop for a whole year or more.
I dont play 1 mmo constantly for that long. I jump mmos almost every month(even weeks), back n forth between different games. To me Its more fun that way because i get to play whatever i feel like playing that day / week / month.
SWG for years straight without touching another MMO. WoW for a couple years non stop and still go back ooccasionally. Still play several but I jump back and forth between them....LoTRo Rift Aoc TSW SWTOR...
Only WoW. Say what you will, but it was a really good game with an engaging and active community. I stopped playing regularly during Cata, and stopped completely after MoP, but that could have just been the game getting long in the tooth for me.
I played CoH for 4 years, LotRO for 2 years, WoW for 1 year, Wizard 101 for 1 year, and EQ2 for a year. I've played a lot of other games, but they didn't hold my interest for very long.
Eve and Perpetuum. Only two mmos out of hundreds that kept my attention for more then 3 months.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
I played COH/COV for 6 years and I have played Wizards 101 for at least a year. I started playing it while still playing CoH and have played it off and on since COH shutdown [what a travesty]. I have now picked up playing Champions Online because i needed that feeling of being a hero again.

Only 2 games ever occupied my time for over a year
1) Anarchy Online
2) WoW
I played EQ for 3 years and WoW for 6 - 7.
Unfortunately, I haven't found much to play for a very long time after I left WoW. I've played GW2 very casually since release. I suppose there is a possibility that I will reach a year with GW2.

Anarchy Online 2 years: Fucking Missions (in the starter days where the game was buggy as hell) runs where a chore but then there where Hecklers, lol!
Star Wars Galaxies 2-4 years: it was a on and off with CU and the other shit, forgot it's name
World of Warcraft 6 years: Well what can i say, still remember not having a Epic mount for almost a year because i didn't want to farm 1k gold, haha.
You forgot the option 0
I've not played any MMO consecutively for a solid calendar year, i've had 1-4 month breaks from certain games.
And probably 99.9% that have answered haven't either, it's a not a year, if you play 8 months outta 12
