Are any of you extremely burnt out of MMOs?

Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way as me.

I grew up playing Final Fantasy XI, Maple Story, Lineage 2 and Ragnarok Online. I have fond memories of these games after developing connections with other players in the game. A few of which I still keep in touch with. However, as life went on and games evolved, I find that it has been impossible to make the same connections.

I used to play Battlefield 4 exclusively with 2 others (my brother and a childhood gaming friend) but the childhood friend moved back to Hong Kong. Now I don't feel motivated at all to play FPS alone. There's no one to laugh with when I crash into another plane while in a dog fight, no friend on vent to laugh at when they throw a grenade and it bounces back killing us all. It's just not fun anymore. 

Thinking about it makes me kinda sad actually, it's like I grew up and the magic of gaming has disappeared =(

I live to go faster...or die trying.

    its always been our ability to suspend disbelief, you can't lose that ability, im sure that whats really going on here is that the games recently have not been crafted as magically as those classics you mentioned.

    Never! :)

    All those games you mentioned are still in circulation. Go back and try them again!  Now and again I play Ultima Online just to shake it up a bit.

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    Yep.

     

    I do play Marvel Heroes but that's just an ARPG it's not really an MMO.

    Yes.

    I could type all of the reasons, but then I would be a "whiny hater". So I'll just leave it at yes.

    I resubbed to FFXIV yesterday and do not feel like logging on now lol

    I am debating on downloading Aion or Lineage 2 but then I remember Aion copied WoW's daily grind crap; I might as well go back and play WoW.

    I think for me the real killer was when Diablo 3: RoS released with the inability to trade items; effectively making it a single player game. MMOs seem to be heading in the same direction. -_-
