The Key to MMO Gaming is...

...Balance. And when i say balance i mean not being burned out after 5 days of straight 6 hour a day play. After finding myself repeatedly unsubbing because i felt a little bored after playing 5 days straight and then being bored, and then about a day later resubbing, i decided to bring a free game to play for that day i feel a little bored and not wasting my time unsubbing and resubbing. This to me was Guild Wars picked up the trilogy for 50$. Just a suggestion to anyone who had the problems i did.

Playing less, tbh.
30 hours over 5 days on a single game is gonna burn out anyone before too long.
If you've 6 hours a night to play MMO's, try spending 3 on one game and 3 on another. Will stave off the feeling of ennui and prevent you losing the will to (virtually) live.
Playing: EVE, Final Fantasy 13, Uncharted 2, Need for Speed: Shift
Agreed
OP: You felt a little bored after playing 5 days straight of aprox 6 hours a day? hmm, not sure if games can carry any blame of you being bored?
This is kind of why I like working. It takes me away from the games just enough that I can play on my free time and not get burned out because I have other things I need to take care of. For me it's all about priorities. In the end the games are what you make of them... especially since the latest crop are unimaginative.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
and never read the forum of which mmorpg you are enjoying
I always got the impression from these forums that the key to mmo's was FFA pvp, full loot, and an extremely harsh death penalty
.
oh, yeah, I forgot skill based and sandbox!

No real life.... Sad but thats how it is....
You do realise that MMOs are building on the same addictive mecanics as the slot machines ? Oh... you didn't know?
Bah, you can't always blame it on being "burnt out". If you're bored now, you can take a break for a couple years, come back, and you'll probably get bored again fairly quickly.
Game-play/combat has never been a strong point for MMORPGs. It was always all of the other stuff that really got your interest and sucked you into the game. Now, however, MMOs have trimmed down all of the other stuff and are trying to build their game on combat alone. So, it's not really a big surprise when we get bored with every generic, re-skinned MMO. It's just the same formula over and over with no real style or character.
/agree and no crybabies
I didn't get what you just posted out of OP's post, if this is what he/she meant I do agree, thats why I said I agree on freedom, but seriously I didn't see any of the activities the OP was involved with other then subbing and resubbing, playing free games and resubbing again? nothing about combat right? kinda the reason why my comment before came over as him just making him self bored.
