I wonder if this is common with multiboxers? Play for a few months, take a couple months off? Maybe it's WHY we were attracted to multiboxing? Cuz it's hard to maintain progress with others if you stop playing regularly?

I've been playing since the open beta in 2004. I play for 3 to 6 months. Then I take 2 to 3 or sometimes even more months off. Then I'm back again etc. We decided to go full bore with multiboxing after my wife's computer melted down and our 2 RL friends quit playing cuz they got tired of waiting for us after we moved to another state and didn't get her computer fixed "in time".

I feel like I got most of my goals completed so quickly, because I was always running with the same groups, only doing what I wanted, never waiting on people, and getting every piece of loot I needed as soon as it dropped one time. This is something I never felt with other people because they always had their little pet projects you were expected to help with, or they had progression goals that could never be fully met, or someone else would win the item. I hope that everyone takes time off here and there, boxer or not, because it can get to be like a job when you feel compelled to always be playing. Probably better on the wallet too.

I don't mean to sound like I don't like talking to or playing with other people, because I do sometimes. A lot of people say boxing ruins the community and teamwork of the game. I prefer the forums for community, most of the time. You really need to have found a GREAT guild to play with before the social aspect of the game is any fun. You also need to be very selective with who you play with. having a good partner in WoW is amazing, but it's tough to find. I play at a specific time only, and don't like waiting around.
