Most games can't keep my interest for more than a couple days to a couple weeks.
Mabinogi is the only one I've played for longer.
(Over 3 years....)
Mabinogi's lack of class system and RTS fighting, plus the absolute lack of grind is what keeps me interested. Besides how nothing is level restricted. And awesome community once you figure out who the trolls are.

Had the same issue myself, play a game for a number of years and never get tired of it then start finally getting sick of it after figuring out every miniscule detail about it. Just have to find a game you enjoy with a good community, thats what makes it playable for more than a month.

Hey ApocaRUFF,
It seems one of the major reason you enjoy playing MMO is your guild which you can connect to and your friends you play with. I was in the same boat as you. Most games I play with my group of ppl I like, the games become much more enjoyable. (I played Rappelz with my guild, it was great fun. Honest ~!!)
My solution was joining a multi gaming clan. Bunch of players, as in almost 2,ooo players, play online games together. Some play WoW. Some play Eve. Some play Halo, LoL, and all those fun games. Everyone uses the forum and connect with each other and enjoy the game together. That way, in any game, you always find friends to game with.
That solved my problem completely

I didn't really ask anything in my post...? I mean, I could be wrong and I might have.
What I did do is throw in some questions at the end to make the discussion a bit more interesting (as this is a discussion topic). Questions such as, "Maybe some good suggestions about games I could try? Maybe to find people who also have a hard time staying with a game longer than a week or a month? Maybe I was just bored and felt like typing a lot?"
I mean, anyone can answer those three questions (since those are the only questions I asked in my post). Just suggest some games you find interesting that you think others might find interesting. Or, if you have the same problem as me and can't stay with a game to longer, tell us why you think that is.
Discussions such as, "Is it the games that make the game fun? Or the people you play it with?" would be interesting.

No, but if you had bothered to read his post you'd know he realized it was the community that made him like the game and that he is looking for games with the kind of community he described.
Reading is so hard, man.

I guess we can say people who played mmorpgs was more "nerdy" years back and the lack of games choice made it a good environment to stay in a guild with the same people for long periods of time.
Nowdays there are many mmo choices...players demand better quality games and get bored of a said game faster...therefor it's hard to get the same people to play the same game together...forever. Also, people grows up, form a family and so on...it's hard to make multiple players play at the same time...unless it's a hardcore guild with strict playtime.
So...all games are the same, you will find pretty much the same community on P2P games, and the same kind of community on F2P games. Obviously games are what make people have fun, but if you add a good environment of "friends" to play with, you will have a much better time playing games.

I'm going to skip all these walls of text and answer your question, which is in the title:
If you're not made to play video games, you must be genetically hardwired to cure cancer. SO GET GOING AND GET INTO MED SCHOOL ALREADY!

SWG was my first true MMO also, really. I played until a few months after the CU was released. Haven't played much since.
With other MMOs, I've liked a few somewhat, although nothing really compared to that first experience, most likely because I'm a huge SW fan; it was my first MMO; and because it was a sandbox game (my preferred style unless it's a true dungeon crawler).
Anyway, now I'm waiting for TOR. I hope it's worth it.

Oh, nice, another example of Marcipaans making a complete idiot out of himself, nice going.
Either way, you should try playing shooters, MW2/Black Ops/Battlefield BC.
At least, I enjoyed those for some time.

eve definitely has the community you might be looking for, the gameplay on the other hand is definitely different than any other, and you might not like it one bit.
I recommend against ever buying FFXIV, they released it in a pre alpha state and still trying to atone for their sins by releasing apologies every month

lol wut?
"No need to read the post. Nobody can and will tell you why it is that. Sort it out yourself."
"
Do you know him in person? Have you been a friend of his a long time? Do you know his gaming habits, likes, dislikes and etc. and yadda yadda?
It's kind of silly(to put it nicely) to ask a question like this."
Both of those were referring to some mystical question that you decided is unanswerable that does not exist in my original/opening/first post.
Unless you meant to reply in a different thread but somehow ended up here.
If you read the post, instead of just going off the title (which isn't a good thing to do, as it's just a title of a long post and not meant to be the post itself), you'd know that the only questions I asked were some general questions that anyone can answer at the bottom of the post in one paragraph.
I don't really see why you continue to post in this thread if you don't want to discuss the topic the thread is for (which is the discussion of the topic itself, sharing your experiences with not being able to play games very long, good games with good communities, etc...).

Obviously because he wants to up his post-count. :3
Also @ op, i got the same problem with games.
After Diablo 2 LoD, I have not been able to stick to a game.. never, probably will never, be as addicted to games as I was to D2 LoD, hence the reason for "mmo-jumping" like mad atm.. (still play just a little, to do a MF run or two)
I gues it is that, I don't get that feel for games like I did with D2 LoD.. we had like a 10 man group starting out, 5 months later, 2 quit out.. and so forth over 2 years.. til I was last man standing.. got bored eventualy after 2 years of solo playing..
Probably starting Tera once it is fully released. ( tested it before ), realy enjoyed it back then... so.. myeah.

@OP: You can't stick with a game because you have OnRPGitis. You've been here too long and it's rubbed off on you. I recommend a strict regiment of MMORPG gaming w/o the use of message boards. Should clear your problem right up in about a week.
