This is part of a pair of poll questions dealing with how long people have played their longest lived characters.  It would be great if people answered to both!

How long did you play your longest lived character, as determined by number of active RL hours/days played?  This is roughly equivalent to the number that score gives you, which represents the number of days and hours logged in to that character you have spent playing them.  However, the number in score will take into account linkdead time as well.  So, if you spent 20 days actively playing the character, and 30 days linkdead with them in the game, please discount the 30 linkdead days and give the active days spent playing the character.

I'm interested in knowing how much time people have spent in the game with a single character, putting effort into keeping them alive, developing them, etc.

And for this poll, you specifically ask for longest-lived ever.  Are the two polls supposed to be linked, then?

Hmmmm, it would be cool if we could tell what kind of guild lived longer. I.E. Merchants living longer then warriors on average, something of the sort. So we can say, if you want to playa long lived character, play a _______.
uppers.

Good idea aspsjdhblihakek. And then when I see that "this" guild lives longest, I and my eeevul buddies will form our own guild and kill the other guild ded ded ded! Bwahahahahaha!

Oh shoot. I think CindyLou's eating my brainz.
Never mind.

I don't think the 'which guild lives longest thing' is a good idea, personally.  People should play something because they like the character and leave the I-want-to-play-this-guild-because-its-UBER thing at the door.

I've had three that've passed the 100 day mark, but I can only vote once.

What sort of rip off is this?!

How on earth do you find time to play three characters for 100 days!?!?!  I mean, admittedly, if you take all my characters and combined them into three characters, I'd make that amount of time, but still.  Yikes.

My longest lived, in order:

52 days, # hours.

29 days, # hours.

38 days, # hours.

As far as I know, or remember, I've never had significant link-dead time on any of my long lived characters.

I've crossed the 200 day mark before, it's sick eh.

Well... so much for my ego on having a 55 day character. :?

-looks up- Jeez...I'm at 18 days and so many hours and excited about it.  :shock:

My record is somewhere in the 170ish day range.

I still haven't made it past the 40-day mark, but I've gotten close.  For some reason, most of my characters that make it that far tend to piss people off.  I wonder where they get it from.   :roll:

I also don't log on as many hours, per day, as some people do, so my score to RL time ratio is lower than a more active player's.

My characters all tend to die before and just before 20 days.
The one who didn't lived to be over 100 days. Its my theory that if my char can live to 20 days they will live to at least 100 days. Just a theory, I'll let you know how it works out.

60 days and counting.  Tick tick tick.

My very first char lasted 117days

And have had several that ran from 35-60 days.

I've had two in the 60-ish day range.  Each of them spanned more than 2 years, but there were some gaps.  I can't play that long without breaks.

This is my first PC to live past 7 hours.. :)
But I never know when I am going to die with my PC, even though it feels like I am going to die whenever I say something.

Longest lived was 18 days, and that took about 3 months.

I want to see Kankmans longest lived character. Heh.

Mine is like... 2-3 days... sigh. If only there where more hours in a day.

15 odd something days on first. And planning to live forever next time.  :P

I wonder whatever happened to 5 day lifespan?  I think he finally got to 6 days, then he just disappeared.


Anyway, I'm not completely sure how long my character's have lived, because I usually don't remember to type "score" immediately before dying.  I've had three characters in the 10-12 day range.

Yeah, but you know you have it really bad by the time you've had 12 characters that have never made it past 10days playtime because something completely redunant like fleeing from a carru and watching your nice awsome ranger die to falling off a cliff... I've just one question... Who in the fuck would choose jumping off a cliff as opposed to fleeing in the other direction or attempting to run past the carru?

You fell while trying to flee.  Seems like a reasonable thing to me, I wouldn't look at it as fleeing towards the cliff like a crazed maniac.
