I stick to one MMO, partly becasuse of the potential time involved and partly for budget reasons. If there is so much to do in game and the social circles are expansive, I wont need to play another MMO. Or meeting other people in RL for whom doing something exciting on a saturday night can also be a hard and tough dungeon attempt or exploration or raid. Or even just being ourselves together in RL, but at the same time apart in the MMO.

Yes I commit 100% to it. There is no other MMO and there is no other non-MMO.
Only one at a time as long as it keeps my interest. I played SWG for 2 years, then moved onto EQ2 for nearly 10. I would dabble in others just to check them out, but always came back to EQ2. Took a small break for 3 years to play SWTOR, but right back into EQ2 after I was done with Star Wars. Right now, I have no MMO home. Drifting...

I think part of this also has to do with the relative dearth of decent MMOPG options for many of "us" right now (and by "us", I mean the type of players who are excited about Pantheon). Simply put, there haven't been many viable choices for any of us to play for a few years now. If there were suddenly five different flavors of Pantheon-style games on the market, I think quite a few folks would play more than one if they were able.
For me it's that "if I'm able" thing more than anything else. Give me unlimited free time and I'll play at least 3 different MMOs (if they're any good). But sadly I don't have unlimited free time :(

Nor do I. I just bounce around on any given day. Sometimes I feel like playing one, or the other, or whatever - depends on how I'm feeling on a particular day. Helps that I'm super casual in all but one at a time. xD I've never even reached level cap within the appropriate expansion in Rift. Too much time poking around on alts, housing, etc!
I am a bouncer. I have ESO, WoW, Diablo III, Hearthstone, GW2, SWTOR and Wildstar on my drive right now. used to have EQ as well.
If pantheon is as good as EQ1, I will likely play it 80% of the time, but goof off in other mmo's some as well.
I love all those games I have listed. I want to play them. even if it is just here and there with no raiding ambitions.
filthy casual i guess... but in all fairness, 80% is a Lot of time. I work, but I have Loads of play time.
I only ever play one mmo at a time. I'll usually have a few alts cause I like to explore different areas and classes until I find one that really feels right. I'm never in a rush to level and will gladly wander around seeing the sights and talking to NPCs.
I often have single player games on the go that I use to fill up small amounts of game time that I may get as well.

This ^
If people truly committed "100 % of their time to one MMO" they wouldn't be on these forums looking at a new MMO unless the other MMO they are no longer 100% committed to is no longer active. edit: or they are incorrectly using "100%" as an actual percentage.
