Could it be? Is this representative? 3000+ players of one multiplayer game responded to a census survey, of which one of the questions was:
Time Playing
* Less than half a year: 7%
* Less than a year: 7%
* 1 year: 13%
* 2 years: 20%
* 3 years: 26%
* 4 years: 16%
* 5 years: 7%
* More! 4%
It fits my hypothesis (that chances are quite likely, by the 4th year, despite how much you like an MMO, you're going to burn out and quit, at least for a little while for a break) and is a nice bell curve to boot.

Either that, or since this game is 5 years old, it shows that popularity peaked about 2-3 years ago... and/or the newbies can't be bothered to answer census surveys.
But I like my lifespan theory better. Not very scientific, are we. :(
