Why do I keep returning to Everquest and Eve? What game do you always return to?

I have been playing mmorpgs for a very long time. As of late I keep asking myself why do I return to both Everquest and Eve! Throughout the years it seems I cannot stay away. I have to admit both EQ and EVE are steep on the learning curve. It takes much to play and develop a character in either. Probably more so than any other mmorpg out on the market today.

Now it seems every new mmorpg that comes out I give a try. I may play for a couple of months but then return to my old standbys. The longest other mmo I played besides EQ was WOW for 2.5 years. Then it got extremely boring. But it seems in both EQ and EVE I never can cap out, get bored, and always seem to have something to do.

Do you have a mmorpg you always return to? Why do you believe you keep returning?

    I return to Daoc just to see how fast I can adjust to the learning curve. (adjusting to the new armor, weapons and skill changes)

    EVE for me as well. Mostly I suspect because I am well established there.

    LotRO as well. I always go back to it. It's just very familiar and works against EVE burn out.

     

    I found I was getting in to a similar habit with FF14. I don't know if ARR will make or break that, won't until it goes live. I keep seeing beta footage for ArcheAge and Black Desert trailers look amazing but those for now are just future distractions from the EVE/ LotRO stronghold.

    I return to EQ. I love the immense amount of content, freedom and lack of linear quest hub bullshit. Other than gw2 and tsw the latest big mmos have been linear quest hub droolfests. Everyone does the same things to build their characters.

    EVE and DAOC are the two that always draw me back. Just something about them that really appeals to my play styles, for different reasons.

    Lineage 2 is the one I keep going back to. I actually went back to it today because of the new expansion and I may stick with it for a while again. Looks promising.

    EQ2, DAOC, or FFXI. I have an active sub to all 3 atm :)
