What's the furthest lengths you've gone to play one game?

Yeah, I went to EQ shortly after it came out.  The funny thing about Ultima Online is that I stopped playing it a month or so after shelling out all of that money.  I loved the game, but the PVP was horribly broken.  

Looking back I am still impressed that we were able to play these massive games with just a 56k dialup (or worse) connection.

Lower standards I guess. I played on Bristlebane, or Bristlebroke, as it crashed multiple times a night for at least a month every time a new expansion came out. Link Death was by far the most common way to die, if not by the resulting trains when the rest of another party's members fled to zone out when their tank lost connection. It kept things interesting :) Raids on dial-up, how did that even work at all.

Yeah, I was so hooked on MMO's back in the day that I forgot all of the connection probelms.  Although even after I switched to broadband I still had some connection problems, just less frequently.  I played Final Fantasy XI the most, and I definitely started it after I got broadband and remember still disconnecting semi-frequently.  I think the problem was on the server side more often than my own.
