WOW - 1.75 yrs
EVE - 5+ years

Everything else, (too many to list) 3 mo or less.

Phaserlight · December 2014

Vendetta Online - 11 years and 5 months: I've designed many missions for it in digital labor with naught for compensation but the satisfaction of having partially imprinted a growing online experience with a cross-section of my soul, and it's a skill-based Newtonian game with progression. Just awesome.

WoW: 2 years, approx. I grew out of it somewhere around the summer of 2007.

I've sampled many others, but none have I played religiously like I have the two above.

Dibdabs · December 2014

MMOs I have played, in no particular order...
Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest 2, World of Warcraft, Continent of the Ninth, Allods Online, Runes of Magic, DC Heroes, Champions Online, Silk Road, Path of Exile, Star Trek Online, Warhammer Online, Anarchy Online, Eve Online, City of Heroes, Cabal, RF Online, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Poxnora, Shaiya, Requiem, Hellgate: London, Ether Saga, Runes of Magic, Forsaken World, Aion, Tera, D&D Online, Vendetta Online, Priston Tale II, Perpetuum, Fallen Earth, Age of Conan, Star Wars the Old Republic, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Secret World, Silk Road, Vanguard, War of the Immortals, Lord of the Rings Online, Pandora Saga, Elder Scrolls Online, Archeage, Wildstar, Dragon Nest Europe, Face of Mankind, Dragons Prophet, Neverwinter, Taikodom, Vanguard, Knight Online.

There may be a handful I've completely forgotten

I can't recall times played for them all. Ultima Online only briefly, since friends were playing Everquest and I went there. Everquest about 4 to 5 years, WoW a couple of years, then all the others vary between a week or a few months at most. I seem to get bored with mmorpgs very fast these days.

xonedl · December 2014

Neverland (browser) - a couple months till it shut down.

Atlantica Online - 4 years, my first full featured client MMO. Still playing this now. To be honest back when I started I don't even know there was a word called "MMO"...

Aion - 3 months. was not good with PvP so I decided to stop.

...

Guild Wars 2 - 1 month, not including all closed / open beta period. Somehow things become stale 1 month into release.

Blade & Soul (China) - 1 month. Things also become stale after 1 month into play.

FF XIV - 1 month. It's a nice game, just something I don't like...

...

and some in between not worth to mention as I only spent a couple days and got bored real quick.

Vonatar · December 2014

Everquest, 5 years, left because most friends had moved to Star Wars Galaxies

Star Wars Galaxies, 2 years, left because of CU

WoW, 2 years, left because I didn't like Burning Crusade (back now for WoD)

Everquest 2, 3 years, left because of pressure to speed level when Sentinel's Fate expansion came

Vanguard, 2 years off and on, didn't have time to play it as much as other games at the time

EVE, 3 years, played off and on but didn't stay as I couldn't find the right corp for me

LotRO, 3 years off and on, never really found a guild so played with friends occasionally.

Aion, 2 months, left after reaching the PvEvP zone and getting ganked all day long while trying to quest

Age of Conan, 3 months, stopped when most of my guild quit

D&D Online, 3 months, was too hard to find groups of non-idiots

GW2, 3 months, left after getting to 80 and geared and having nothing to do

SWTOR, 6 months, left after my raiding guild quit the game

Age of Wushu, 3 months, got tired of the pvp and repetitive content

Neverwinter, 2 months, too low quality and cash-grabbing. Poor community

FF XIV ARR, 2 months, left because too grindy

ESO, 3 months, got bored with the solo questing

Wildstar, 1 month, got bored of levelling

Archeage, 2 months, left after guild split in two and a lot of friends left the game

...and various others not worth a mention.

olepi · December 2014

Only listing MMO's with maxed characters:

DAOC -- started right when it came out.. What a blast!

CoH -- started this when it first came out, still miss it

Ryzom -- started in 2005, still play now and then

Vanguard -- Fun, wish it was still running.

PoTBS -- lots of fun in this one.

Not really playing an MMO now, don't have the time it takes. None of the newer games grabbed my attention.

ArChWind · December 2014

in order.

DAoC - 2 years. OK game but the PvE was not cutting it. Shared sub with AC2 and EQ2.
AC2 - 1 year until servers were shut off.
WOW - 1 month. Just preferred EQ2 background and graphics.
EQ2 - 10 years 1 month and still playing because it's the best game out there.

Shared subscriptions with EQ2.

GW1 - 1 month. Just Bah.
Rubies of Evertide - 2 months.:FTP
Planeshift - Still drop in once in awhile (8 years): FTP
AoC - 8 months.
Requiem - 9 months paid sub.
EVE - 10 day trial. Not enough content to warrant a sub.
Vindictus - 1 year. my email changed and account was locked. CS sucks.
Alantica - 1 month. Good RTS just not my interest.
Forsaken World - 7 months still log in once in awhile OK as FTP.
SW:TOR - 1 year. Still play it as paid sub.

There are others I have forgotten because they were not interesting enough.

CalmOceans · December 2014

EQ 8 years ........................the good developers left and multiboxing killed the community

Vanguard 1 year.................game got shut down, reminded me of EQ in some ways

Street Gears 1 year............game got shut down, really fun cute game

GW1, a few months............lack of community

Vindictus, a few months......too much Pay2Win

FFXIV, since launch

I've tried other MMO but didn't play any of them more than a day or 2.

Alumicard · December 2014

I can't exactly say how long but why.

Asherons Call: years, no real realm vs realm pvp.

Daoc: years. first beta testing while still playing AC. Joined the PvP server, left because we(the clan) killed the population. The population tried to grow but then we killed it off again. Guess the "PvP" players weren't ready to PvP.

WoW: months. It was nice to play a solid game but the focus on PvE made me leave.

Warhammer Online: months, too many bugs (new class release, max at first day(5h)) and the map was too narrow

Rift: months, played beta and live. liked the class system but the WoWish gear grind turned me off (that dungeon then this dungeon aso)

Daoc freeshard: years but hopping from one to another because they tend to close down quickly(some)

Planet Entropia/Entropia Universe: a year + some, even it is kind of PvE centric the whole eco system was fun. But after a while I had everything I wanted and the question was if I played it as a 2nd job or quit. At least I got a new PC out of it.

From then on I was jumping around and had 2-3 games at a time. Funny thing the game that I keep playing from time to time over years is a MOBA. And somewhere in between one of the best PvP games I ever played...

Fury: months, it shut down(so much to lifetime access). Not sure if you could call it a MMO because it was more of deathmatch but it was fun and the mechanics of attack -> counter were the best I have ever seen but not sure if you want to count that.

edit: oh, in between there was AoC, GW 1 and some others.... THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY!!!

Aparition · December 2014

wayyyyy to many to list, ive been playing video games in general since the dawn of video games, and mmo's since their dawn too, i'll list the ones i spent more than a year in.

- Ultima Online - 3 years, still to this day my favourite.

- Dark Age of Camelot - 3 years, a very close 2nd fav

- WoW - 3 years, alot of people bash WoW but it was still a cool game.

-Warhammer Online - 1 year, was good, but was expecting more.

- LoTRO - 1.5 years, quite enjoyed this game, cant really remember why i stopped playing.

- SWToR - 1.5 years, again was good, but was expecting more.

Ive basically played every major release with exception of EVE, i dunno why i never played it, thats a mystery for the ages, but as you can see by years played, i was more of an old school gamer, im lucky if im not bored within a month these days, let alone trying to get years of game play out of something.

Ultima Online : 5 years First mmo I've ever played.

Dark Age of Camelot : 3 years

Star Wars Galaxies : 1 year

Knight Online : 4 years

Zhjris · December 2014

-Runescape| 2002-2014(off and on) 12 years. Awesome mmorpg for f he first time and longest one ive played.

Pros-First mmorpg, full loot,skills you can choose to level,economy, items are worth, questing system, great world and atmosphere and features like housing and use to have a great community.
Cons-Dated, played for years off and on, combat is turn based, huge grind, game changed to try to be modernized.

-WoW| (2006-2007)4-6 months

Pros-3d graphics, huge playerbase, pvp anywhere, simplistic.
Cons-Loot grind,carebear and tab target combat, everything that is wrong with modern mmos begins with this. Ruined the genre.

Lotro| Played beta (Feb 2007) for 2 months and realized I didn't like it because it was too WoW like.

Pros-Lotr IP, great world and atmosphere, seeing characters from the books and movies, unique classes.
Cons-Wow Model,combat was tabtargetting,gear grind,pvp was almost non existant except for PVM.

-Age of Conan|(Beta April 2008) -(May 17, 2008- August 2008) 4-5 months. Was fun with my clan Murderherd.

Pros-Boobies,gore,action combat, AoC lore and world, atmosphere.
Cons-Lacking things to do(Not enough raid content, pvp was just killing people in Kholesh, exploits(gems), then later on the gear grind via arenas. Too many lies and cut features from launch.

-Warhammer online|(September 2008) 2 weeks played to pass the time between Darkfall online.

Pros-Warhammer IP,diverse classes,world pvp and capturable points.
Cons-Unbalanced classes, world pvp didn't matter,gimmick questing system, no innovation or new features.

-Uo Shard| (2009)Didn't appeal to me because I've become accustom to 3d graphics and modern mmos.

Pros-Community,sandbox features,lore,full loot, all the good oldschool sandbox stuff.
Cons- Dated, combat is pretty boring.

-Darkfall online| 4 years off and on. (Beta) Started Jan 1 2009 played until (EU Launch) Jan 25 2009- May 2009. Quit. Rejoined for 2nd expansion on Jan 2010-June 2010. Rejoined September 2010-Jan 14, 2011. Rejoined June 2011-October 2012. Best mmorpg ive played and upset we got that horrible trash Unholy wars.

Pros-Fps combat best out of any mmorpg game, mount system,territory control, politics, economy and gear system,ship combat,diverse abilities.
Cons-At launch hackers, no doors or towers at cities, hackers and zergs hurt the game for me. Later on it was the grind, exploits(Dungeon logging), mild hacking, no skill cap, and too much focus on pvp that made me quit.

-All points bulletin|(6 June 2010-August 2010) 2-3 months. Could have been really great.

Cons-Overpowered stun weapons, repetitive gameplay missions, no way to conquer areas,hackers,company dying, lack of content.
Pros-Customization, FPS combat,GTA gameplay and style, fun until it got repetitive, different weapons, vehicle combat, griefing, being able to mark your turf and show off your customizations.

-DCUO|(Jan 14,2011-March 2011) 2-3 months. Could have been great, but they causalized it too much.

Pros- Great voice acting, characters world, IP, action combat, customization, pvp and pve was fun, specialized movement capabilities, housing.
Cons- Lack of vision, no territory conquest, no meaninful risk vs rewards, gear grind via arenas,exploits, lack of features and content, too much like a single player superhero game. F2p cashshop bs.

-SW:TOR|(December 20 2011-Feb 2012) 1-2 months. Was one of the worse mmos ive played.

Pros-Good voice acting and story line, arena gormball was fun, the Ip, lore and the atmosphere was awesome as well.
Cons-No space combat, crafting was bad, armor models were horrible, storyline decisions didn't alter anything, combat was tab target and unbalanced, the world felt like it was copied(And it was in parts) from other mmos with a different skin, nothing unique or inovative, no sandbox features, stale rehash, then later f2p lockout.

-Guild Wars 2|(Oct 2012-Nov 20 2013) Wasn't as innovative as they claimed, I did like the competitive aspect of it.

Pros- Was fun in the competitive sense, platforming aspect was fun, but after the first month the fun wore off. Alot of choices in terms of gear and customization.
Cons-Nothing innovative at all, RVR was just a zerg fest and offered no real worth, unbalanced classes, repetitive quests and grinding, nothing for guilds or any sandbox features.

-Planetside 2| (Beta November 17 2012)(Launch Nov 20-Feb 2013) 3-4 months. Could have been so good if it was more like the first Planetside but SOE cashed after the casual cash.

Pros-Huge world, fps combat, vehicle and flying combat, outfits.
Cons-Hackers, lacking of core features and content from Planetside 1, fragfest arena style gameplay, vehicle spam,cash shop overpowered weapons,based don't matter and switch sides to much, no commitment to stay and defense an area, too casualized, too easy to switch classes and roles,no skill cap,world feels lifeless, no inventory system and can't pick up weapons from killed enemies. Inferior compared to the first game.

-Darkfall Unholywars|(Beta Dec 20 2012-Jan 2013) (After Launch July 2014-Oct 2014) 3-4 months off and on.1 step forward 20 steps back. They completely ruined their game trying to casualize it and failed thus alienated their original fanbase and continue to ruin the game further.

Pros- Huge, vast world, mounting system, fps combat, housing, territory control, politics.
Cons- Arena style combat, no alignment system, nothing other than pvp, unbalances, 6 skill bar, no new sandbox features or content from the previous darkfall, features from DF1 still not in game, combat isn't as good as the first, dumb armor and weapon system, crafting is worse, world is empty because no players, huge grind still, prowess is not as good as a the old skill system, mob drops are regional, cities and hamlets are meaningless, overall a shittier version of DF1.

-TESO| (Beta Feb 2014-Feb 2014)(Launch April 28 -May 20) 1-2 months First game I've ever did a chargeback on, buggy game that I was talked into buying. I knew it was trash.

Pros-Elder scroll ip, unique classing and skills. Great graphics.
Cons- Boring, bugging, repetitive, not innovative, no sandbox features, world pvp was very lacking and not rewarding, single player driven, rehash of a game.

-Archage|(July 14 2014-August 2014) 1 month playedDisappointing to say the least where to progress you need to spend money.

Pros-Sandbox features like housing, farming, transporting goods for money, stealing ect.
Cons-Everything is geared towards the cashshop, not enough player housing spots, pvp is tab targetting, not enough sandbox features, last time I played the pvp island wasn't activated yet. A big Disappointment in my opinion that is hindered by a cashshop and lack of insight from the devs.

There are other mmos ive played likeAge of Wushu, Xyson, Mortal online and indie titles but my post is long those were all trash and/or flawed and not really worth putting on my list. Wish I played during the golden era of mmos, because they suited my tastes more, except for Darkfall online.

ozmono · December 2014

I'd just be guessing to tell you honestly. There are too many MMOs I've played and not all of them have been in a single period of time but I can't even really remember how long those single periods of time went for let alone add the times I went back to them.

I can tell you that it's rare I will play a game for 40 hours and up for more than months and more often than not I will only play a game long enough to confirm I don't think it's worthy of committing time to. That said I played alot of wurm online and uncharted waters online. I kept coming back to those games rather than stick to them though.

I've always been more interested in the potential of the genre than appreciative of the genre that already exist.

kicjaz · December 2014

T4C : 1 hours. I got killed by a rat i don't understand ... first mmo experience xD

UO : 4-5 years. My first mmo, even it was a non official shard. Really cool experience.

GW1 : 5-6 years on and off. Simply the best online game i played. PvE was fun, PvP was excellent.

RF Online : something around 2 year. Played on codemaster server and private server when it closed. Intensive cash shop game with interesting 3 factions war. PvPing in this game was cool and a good experience.

Aion : 9 month to 1 year total. The pve was ok, the combat was cool and got my epic moment in this game. But there was also alot of frustrating one. I played 4month on official server and tried a private server with more update later.

GW2 : Played it for one year. Quite a fun game with interesting combat. However friend left the game and well, we play together before playing a game so i follow !

TSW : 2 Years and still playing time to time ... well could say i left the game with the time i play it now. The game is interesting pve and quest are awesome. Dungeon and raid while relatively simple are really fun when you tryhard and set your own objective (time, or with less ppl than required).

+ Alot of F2P mmo. None of them are noticeable.

SuperGrover · December 2014

WOW = 4 years ( Needed a change)

LOTRO = 7 years ( my go to game. play it off and on. Great world . just feels like Middle Earth to me. The combat is Meh though)

SWTOR = 1 year ( Unbalanced PVP with to much CC)

TSW = 3 months ( slow combat )

GW2 = 6 months ( No trinity. did not like having no defined roles(imho)

WAR = Shut Down

LOL = 1 year (worst community in the history of gaming)

Xsyon = 3 months ( lack of players)

Wildstar = 3 months ( hit end game "hardcore" wall)

Marvel Heroes = my current game of choice.

Games tried but just not for me: Archage, Rift, ESO, STO, AOC, FFXIV and others.......
