In terms of hours of play, I played in a Vampire: Dark Ages campaign that ran for about a year, weekly, with typically 6-hour sessions. So around 300 hours.
Temporally, my d20 Modern Apocalypse campaign is the longest I've experienced, though it's somewhat rarified these days. I started it when I was at WotC, with early playtest rules for d20 Modern. We played weekly at lunch time (hour to an hour and a half per session) for about four years, though many a week was skipped due to the vagaries of work schedules. Now that I'm no longer there, we've been reduced to one session a year, at Gen Con. It's not a way to move a campaign along quickly, but it's the same storyline, with many of the original players and characters.
What brings us back? The time spent with friends doing something we all enjoy. Characters we have grown to love, a storyline that we're invested in, a world we like to visit.
