I'm ending it all within a year, (year 11 and 12). Or when i get bored of it, honestly as long as its still fun, and not stuffin up real life I'm happy with it. Every time ive quit, i always told myself i would come back for the holiday events. So far, never have come back for the holiday events -.-. Oh and i would probably check back every year or 2 to see if there are any updates that make it worth playing again.
