What is your record for number of hours on a single game?

And what game?

Roughly 30 000 hours in WoW. I've been playing it since 2005 - mostly active, only a couple of 1-6 month breaks.
Quick approximation - let's just ignore the exact dates:
18 years * 365 = 6570 days
30000 hours / 6570 days = ~4.57 hours/day
During the last 18 years, I've played an average of 4h 34min of WoW every day.
In other words: if I sleep 8 hours a day, during the last 18 years, I've spent about 28% of my waking hours playing WoW.
While I'm at it: I'm 34 years old. I have spent roughly 10% of my life playing WoW.
jfc lmao
Other MMOs: Guild Wars 1 & 2, FFXIV, are all between 1000-1500 hours each.
Outside of MMOs, the #1 is probably Trackmania (2020) at ~600 hours.
- I think you can use /played in the console it will tell you how much that character has been played. I did it once it came out in years scale too
  
  Yup, that's what I used to get the number - along with an addon that saves all the data from different characters and sums up the played time of all of them. Last time I checked it showed over 1200 days (=28 800 hours) for me - but it's been a while since I checked the total, and it doesn't include characters in Classic (or deleted characters). So I just rounded it to 30k hours, close enough.
  My most played character is my shaman, with 450 days (_{11k hours) played - it was my main character from TBC to WoD (from 2007 to early 2015). Current main is Druid with 240 days (}6k hours). So these two characters alone are more than half of my total played time. :D
- How much of that time was actually spent playing? A huge percentage of my /played is standing around either AFK or using the game as a chat client
  
  Vast majority of it is active playing - I've thought about this earlier too, and I really rarely just afk or stand around while in game. Even if I'm just waiting for eg. raid to start, I usually just go do some gathering, pet battles, dailies, something.
  
  Ah, I forgot about raiding
