By pure hours played I would say Team Fortress 2. Over 6000 hours in that game over the last 15ish years

TERA Online, afterwards - Final Fantasy XIV Online. something about piles and piles, years and years of (still-updating) content scratches my completionist and lore-enthusiast part of brain.

I love this game but have no time for it. My main problem with it is that you normhave to follow guides . If you don't, your character will hit a wall. Then you need to respec and that costs a fortune. It's still a great game thou

Eve Online.

I'm glad it went to shit years ago and I eventually left. I spent 7 years of my life there.

For me it was EverQuest and FFXI. For me to have any type of human relationships, I had to stop playing MMORPG’s.

Hearthstone. I had to delete it. I downloaded, and was like, "it's a crappy version of MTG". Next thing I know it's 4 hours later and I'm still rocking. 5 nights in a row I stayed up till at least 3 am playing it. It's not that I wanted to exactly, it's just that I literally lost all comprehension of time. After I realized I played for two hours at work one day, I deleted it and never went back.

RuneScape. As far as actual addiction, my young mind got such a high from grinding and leveling up. Such a stupid game that isn't actually that fun. Like really, who wants to sit and click "chop tree" for an hour?

Thankfully I can now recognize the signs for when I'm actually addicted to a game and know when to quit. I don't like playing games that don't have a real ending. I have a few friends that have tried getting me to play WoW and I won't.

World of Warcraft, destiny, Warframe. Always stayed with trying or not having anything better to play. Ended with at least around 1000+hrs each lol

Civilization!

For me 2, 3 and 4; civ5 also but less. There is always a technology ready to be discovered, a wonder about to be completed and/or a city to be conquered. "One more turn" all night long

Yup that was me in High School. One day you realize that it has to be enough. May take 500 hours or closer to 2000 (like in my case) but then you don't look back because you realize how much better you feel having time to do things that don't fill you with bitter emptiness.

Rocket League. If I keep it installed and if I let myself, I'd play that for an hour or two every day, instead of playing other games that actually offer new, fun experiences.

If I’m being really honest with myself, world of Warcraft.

I don’t regret it, I have amazing memories with friends or solo that feel as important to me as any holiday or event. But yeah, that game may not have been designed to be addictive, but over the years it was refined to be…and in the beginning it was just super fun.

I very rarely play it because the changes and Meta got so stale but still can enjoy myself provided I don’t have a team that gives up at first blood

Easy answer. Came out in college. It was addictive to the point that we had an open door and open PC policy on my hall that anyone could host a multiplayer game on someone else’s PC in their absence to allow for mule-ing and sharing.

Jesi Outcast: Jedi Academy. 3 saber stances plus either a saber staff or dual sabers. Optional full range of force powers both light and dark, with full level and force point customization. 16 max player combat on PC, and some of the funnest AI duels in single player I have ever played. They do not make games like this anymore.
