So bored I'm posting on a forum...
I need something new!
Comments
I suggest looking into different genres if you find yourself bored of mmorpg's at some point. I'm currently on a pretty long mmorpg break and it's done well for me.
As he said.
After boring myself with AoC and PotBS (my last two MMOs) i have decided to go back to single player games in my spare time, until SW:TOR comes out.
I considered giving Darkfall a try but after reading some reviews and general information about the game I decided its not the game for me after all; no matter how hard I try to convince myself it might have some of the original SWG features in it.
Go for a hike. Ride a bike. Read a book. Write a book. Build something out of wood or metal or clay. Do some gardening. Volunteer. Start a business. Invent something. Help a friend.
In short, I think you're leaving out 99.999999% of life. Get a move on.
And don't tell me that you don't like doing any of those things. Find something new to do. There's a whole world out there.
Take a trip to an exotic country, or move to a new country/state depending on where you live currently :P Change can be fun.
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
If you're not going to play them, you could try cancelling some subscriptions to save money. That's something to do. Kind of. You can't cancel Guild Wars, though.
It's called cancelling your subscriptions, savign 90 or so dollars per month and:
reading
going to a movie
going out to dinner
taking a class
going to the gym
taking up a sport
only playing games when there is something to do, perhaps no subscription, single player games...
hanging out with friends
learning a craft
investing in a retirement account or just a plain old savings account
learning a musical instrument
taking art classes
auditioning for a play
going camping
writiing a book
making a garden
well, you get the idea...

Perhaps you don't want to play any because you have too much choice. I have a station pass and I'm noticing that!
So I've decided to focus on Vanguard and just play the others if I feel in that kind of mood :-P
MMOs played (In order of how much I've liked them): Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, City of Villains / Heroes, Guild Wars, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa, Anarchy Online, Ryzom, Final Fantasy XI, Matrix Online, RF Online, Rappelz, Hero Online, Roma Victor
That's what she said.
Cancel first, all MMORPGs at the moment are pretty much turds or shadows of their former selves. I'm building a new system waiting for something new, Earthrise is top of my list but I may check out JG:E and then there's Fallout. If you want to play something try an FPS or maybe freelancer or Mass effect, I play MoO3 until my gaming rig is ready. Then I'll be looking at Empire total war.
ATM all MMORPGs are shit, FACT!

Your subscribed to SIX of the most addictive RPG's and you are still unsatisfied? Cancel all your subscriptions and you will save alot of money. Then INVEST in something called life, because after all if your complaning about being bored and 6 very time consuming games cant help you then you need to play the new game called OUTSIDE.
If you want to subscribe to a mmo but not play it, then get COH-COV becouse haveing a active subscription you get cool benifits every month or so.

"Life is calling...were are you?"
The OP need to begin with boxing. After that WoW will feel as a sweet dream again.
Or try Darkfall of course. Nothing on the market right now is similar. So it will be something completely new to do, MMO wise.
That's if he can purchase an account for $500 through their official publisher ... Ebay!

I have played most of the MMOs mentioned by the OP, and while I still crave for good dozes of Eve online, I would suggest that you give a try to the korean MMORPG ATLANTICA online.
The game is sort of an anime style MMORPG version of Diciples, and while... yes you do have quests to kill boars, the combat system, the game and the forced community aspects are actually quiet refreshing.
The game features:
Turn based combat (Disciples/FF7 style)
You nurture a group of characters that fight together, each has different abilities and combat functions, and you can more or less mix and match.
Anime style characters.
Innovative crafting system.
Free to play game, with a market mall that gives you a boost over your opponents. Nevertheless as nearly no items are soulbound in the game, each mall item has an ingame price equivalent, and can be purchased with abit of ingame luck/farming.
Good community, whcih has been sometimes called forced- because there are quests to join a guild and do a few guild quests along the way
A 1v1 pvp league that takes place every 1.5 hours for another 1.5 hours.
Guild/Nation control of cities.
The game also feastures:
Some bugs which sometimes arrise when you first create character or log into a different account without quitting the game completely.
Graphics that is a mix between the classical linage style and WoW.
A very fast but restricting market system
A "YOU MUST COMPLETE ALL THESE QUESTS TO PROGRESS" start to the game.
Each unti has to be leveled from 1-120 which is a pain when you suddenly want to change your game style completely (Or... you can rent one ofc for in game money)
Give it a try- complete the starter zone up to vll 15 or so. And see what you think.
If you need some help when you start- Whisper Mornfrost on Macedon server/
WAR/AoC/CoH among other obvious choices, as for less obvious choices well search for em and ye shall find
I think if you are bored of the 6 you have mentioned and have done the whole try F2P, trials, the odd retro games like Super Metroid, then you may be 'done' with MMO's entirely or need a very long break. At least long enough for your brain to forget why it is bored with them. For me there are only so many times I can go back to Rubi-Ka, Hyrule etc; because I've played so many offline and multiplayer games I've reached a point where I know what to expect.
Take FPS's: most of them are run and gun with weak plot points only a few stand out even going back to the original Half Life with slightly updated textures is a real test of anyone because there are about 6 models of people throughout the entire game. The gameplay of Half-Life may be awesome but it is difficult to get past the bad graphics (compared to current standards) when I could be playing HL2 (which is may favourite FPS and is a very high benchmark for any game). Yet even that game is old and unless you want to do a speed-run...
Once you break games down into genre's or even sub-genres (for example RPG-->Turn Based / Real-time), again there are only so many times you can play Chrono Trigger or something as awesome. You may not be able to tell a book from its cover but you can tell a video-game from the cover or at least demo/trial (I recently played Lemmings and forgot how much fun that is/was). It's like when there are the same movies shown over Xmas, they may be fantastic the first time, but after the 20th time I don't watch them because my brain is screaming for something new.
Try Mass Effect. And if you've already done that replay it. Or just try out the good 'ol MMO called IRL.
Death penalty sucks, and the guys playing girls mostly look like.... guys.
OP sounds a bit burned out though, so the suggestion is valid.... take up motorcross riding or something.

How do people allow themselves to be bored? Seriously this is something you have full control over.
MMOs are in a crappy state right now, play some single player games or go buy a console. I myself picked up the Wii recently and been having a blast.
PBBG List.
Go back and dust off D2 as i have. I'm having a blast atm. Initially i was only expecting a weeks worth of entertainment but i have been playing for a month now every chance i get. Then again i have two accounts and two computers making the experience more fun.
There is an upcoming 1.13 patch that will add new content.
I think the first thing you should do is cancel 5 of those subscriptions. You need to commit. Accept the game and its faults and just enjoy the time you have playing it.
...congratulations, you are now married

You are playing Masters of Orion III? wow... I thought that people forgot about that game. Actually, I would either play MoO II or one of Stardocks games and Masters of Orion III just didn't turn out well.
