I don't mean "when you were young" or "10+ years ago", but these times (like 1 or 2 years back maximum). Actively playing means logging in regularly (like once every other day or so), and not just once a week among a dozen other F2P games. For instance, if you play WoW almost daily, but log once a week in some asian F2P game, the asian F2P game is NOT a game you actively play.

By your definition, only 1. I always have 1 main game, mmo or otherwise, but i honestly am not the kind of player that can only play that game and no other in the meantime. I like to spice things up and have variety. However, almost every game only last for about 1-2 months max, so, i'm always switching main games. Atleast until i can find an mmorpg that actually as some longevity. Hopefully AA and The Repop won't dissapoint |

Serial monogamist here. Never wanted to play more than one at same time in first place and never did. Strenght of mmorpg's for me lie in continuation and permanence and I don't have time or willingness to play multiple games like that at same time.
For short burst fun, I have other genres like rts, fps and many others. For longer time, but with longer hiatus in between single player crpg's, strategy games and other slow-paced game far much better.
So nah 1 mmorpg at one given time for me. Also I never seriously start playing mmorpg seriously (testing beta weekends is testing not playing ) if I am not convinced that game have at least ~ 6 months of gameplay potential. Tried to play mmorpg's that I knew or was suspicious that don't have long-time appeal and that did not have any appeal and was boring.
I think I could MAYBE play 2 mmorpg's at same time one as main and one as side-mmorpg. But that's theoretical as it never happened to me yet. |

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. |

Only one at a time. I might play a trial of a new game while still playing my main game but that's about it. "How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it." |

I split between one MMO and the current Battlefield as I like PvP but don't like MMO PvP as it's too much of a gear grind. MMO for PvE and BF3 for PvP. |

Voted one. But lately it's more like zero by the definition given. It's now more like three or four but only a day or two a week each.
The whole "press a button get a cookie" reward system is getting tired for me. I have toons that I could be leveling, but the motivation just isn't there anymore. |

One while I have during some periods been subscriped to two mmo's they were just overlaps IE 10 days left but bored with said MMO and sub to another to check it out.. I do that with normal games too I focus on it until i'm done with it and rarely come back unless new content is applied such as DLC/Xpacks or awesome mods. |

I can only be active in 1. Especially with the kinds of games I like to play. I tried various "sandboxes" and they just took up too much of my time. I loved the games, but just couldn't give them enough time to do what I wanted to do.
I'm very into character development and since I am busy in RL (like many of us), I don't have time to dabble in other games, once I find one I really like.
I think if I had some maxed out characters in a couple of games, then it would be possible to jump on during a guild activity or something, for each game. But I'm not in that position. |

Only 1 game, currently Wurm for me. Don't care about all these F2Ps anyway. I maintain this List of Sandbox MMORPGs. Please post or send PM for corrections and suggestions. |

Just 1 MMORPG at a time usually.. find it hard to get time for 1 these days hehe :)
I tried to get into Wurm online but the lack of combat animations just turned me right off.. |

You could probably stand to have a "0" in the poll. Right now I'm not playing anything at all. Come 8-28 it will be GW2, but if that fails to keep me it will be back to "0" for the foreseeable future. |

I give credit to those that can play more than 1 at a time as i can't do that. I usually go balls deep in 1 and prefer to do so for years if it's good. Although, that seems to not happen anymore. |

I usually play one game daily or close to it and a simpler game for when I want a change of pace in my gaming. I guess an example would be something time consuming like an MMORPG and a game like League of Legends, DayZ, FPS, etc. to play when I get burned out on MMORPGs once or twice a week. I don't install a game without uninstalling something, so my gaming usually stays like this. |

I have enough difficulty playing different alts in a single MMO because of the different skll sets/rotations, no way for me to keep track of multiple MMORPG's (nor the free time)
