I appreciate reading this and really enjoy the history it brings with it. I need to read more now.

The notion that boxing is solitary because we choose to play the game without the need to get other people, when in fact we've created lasting friendships through our boxing experiences! I just don't think I would be boxing today if I hadn't met the people in the boxing community. Nice read!

The best cure for burnout is simple, just unsub for a while and play other games. I hit a huge wall when we cleared DS (normal) recently, and have been playing SWTOR and EVE for the last 3 months.

I resubbed the 3 accounts last week, moved some toons around, downloaded ISBoxer, and have been having fun doing dailies and dungeons with my new 4 man team

As soon as WoW stops being fun I drop it for something else, in the 3 years I have played WoW I have done this 3 or 4 times.

nice find

I would like it if the game was more like Guild Wars (and some other mmos) where you could change channels, except the servers become channels.

Interesting post. Now if FireFox (to use your example) could have a transparent background, you could tweak the styles and make it a little less obtrusive.

Very interesting concept.

Rofl.... amazing

Amen.

^ What MiRai said. I want to get a bunch of quests and not see town or the questhub again for hours. Well, maybe it's not that long with 5 toons beating the snot out of everything in the zone, but the majority of quest time should not be traveling to the quest location and back.

Since I'm a housewife, I have a lot of time to waste in games, but only if I'm actually doing something. If I don't have something to do, I quit and know I can go back at any time. The wisdom of age is knowing that keeping up with the Joneses is BS.

Real men put on their asian glasses and grind all the way!

For some reason I really like questing, more than I probably should.

Good read. My own expectations are that I can turn off the game at any time and come back to it later. That's probably the main reason that I never got into raiding (well, that and my wife/kids deserve a lot of my time).

I see my name up there.
