My longest standing character is currently Thala'to, who is one of the three characters I created in rapid succession after the launch of ARR - so somewhere between 3½-Soon-4-years old. I have however had a short period of time where I did not play him actively. He was inspired and put into the world to be a side-kick of one of my friends characters, who now no longer plays (and haven't played for some years). He's got quite a lot of history because of the time I've spent playing on him, but I do not feel like he is at his end yet at all, there's still lots of potential for character progression. He may just be a concept that has a long viability.
