How long does your KoL addiction last?

I've gone through my share of game addictions, mostly with the online MMORPG's and html based webgames, Kingdom of Loathing having been my most recent one. I'd say i went for about a month straight playing fairly religiously before completely losing the will to log on (which may have been supplemented by a trip i had taken to break up that routine). So tell me, how long did your KoL binge last, or is it ongoing? Do you think it will end soon?

K, I'll be nice and be the first to say anything... Since my addiction is/was way less than your's, I'd say that it lasted about a month tops the last time, and about 2 the time before that. Now, I still haven't ascended yet with either char, so guess that means I'm even -less- addicted. Just something to pass the time while having nothing else to do.

Well my addiction is still ongoing. I've been playing KoL for over a year, I've ascended twice, and I am a dj or GKOL. So, I guess things are going okay, and my character will never be deleted, thanks to Mr. A items. I am not going to say that I will never get tired of the game, but as of right now... there's no way!

My binges tend to last on the close order of one to two months. My previous KoL addictions lasted about five weeks; I just started a new addiction to the game this evening ^_^

I still play but not that often. I started playing it after I learned KoL from a friend. A month passed and I felt the urge to stop playing the game. It somehow doesn't seem that much fun anymore because of the fact that I can't keep up with it.

I joined about eight months ago, and pretty much play every day or so. Ascended twice, though lately I'm just stocking up on various commodities. I dunno...it's addictive, but I'm also a tad bored with it. I figure I'll ascend again fairly soon and maybe try a hardcore run to see if it livens it up a bit.

I've been hooked since I started playing, which was in September of last year. I've had to play less recently, and I suspect that while we are in the process of moving next month, I'll barely play at all. But I'm fairly sure that once things get stable again, I will go right back to playing.

I played for about two months pretty seriously. Did a hardcore ascension, ascended again, and got tired of it. I felt like it was the same thing over and over again. --Andy http://politicalfriends.blogspot.com

I started playing KOL 2+ years ago before there was ascension, ultra rares, Mr. Store, and all that good stuff. Bug meat was rampant so you could easily win millions of meat from the radio station and I played then for about 8 months, until there was nothing left to do. That character got banned since a friend used him as a meat farmer for a while and I've recently gotten back into things. I've played this round for almost a year, 12 hardcore ascensions and though it's rather repetitive, I enjoy collecting the new skills and seeing how fast I can now complete the ascensions. I've gotten it down to about 7 days. Feel free to chat with PureSweetness if I'm online.
