I don't actually know that MMOs are addictive for me. Most of the time I feel guilty for not logging in and playing enough. I've been playing on P99 blue for over 3 years and I think my highest level character is level 53? I could easily log out for 3 months and come back.
I'm even worse with WoW, where it's like, I buy a new expac, grind the honor gear, get bored and am done with playing for a few months until I try to rinse and repeat. As an old person it takes a lot of motivation to want to play an MMO in addictive fashion.
I think that's part of the appeal with a game like OW 2 or League of Legends, you don't have to dump a lot of time or hours into them to have fun. You can play a couple of hours at a time.
In EQ I guess it really feels like you have to be hardcore dedicated, but I disagree. You'll level fast and it's rewarding to play a lot, but I've literally leveled multiple characters 1-50 while mostly AFK and doing things around my room or office.
