I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
Final Fantasy XI. I actively played from April 2004 to November 2011, and casually from around 2019 to 2021. My playtime in game says something like 500ish days, although that would include time I was logged in but not actively playing, but honestly that wouldn’t account for much time, so it’s still a fairly accurate representation.
Rocket League and Minecraft would probably be the next closest games, I think each somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000-3000 hours.
Heyyy, fellow FFXI player! Those were excellent time periods to play imo. I too took a break around the abyssea era (2010/11 I think?) but came back again around 2016.
I feel like the late 20-teens were almost a second golden age in terms of available content to play and community.
