    Default What do you do when you get WoW Burnout?

    I think the whole leveling 32 alts to 68 just for professions killed my passion. It's a shame What do you do when you get burnout?

    I quit for 6 months and tried Aion. Every now and then I'd do movie marathons with the wife avoiding the computer room altogether.

    Take a break.

    For the last three weeks or so, maybe four weeks now.. I've played the priest team twice for maybe four hours a session.
    Aside from that, have logged the toons in for alchemy transmutes (15 minutes a day), and listed gems on the AH for maybe 3-4 sessions of 3 minutes each, each day.
    And maybe once every week or so, buy a few hundred stacks of Saronite and prospect that for the gems.

    Ironically, I still find the forums interesting and am collecting ideas on how to improve my boxing still, through modifying my mapped keys etc.

    Playing a fair bit of street hockey.
    Downloaded and am watching all of Star Trek: The Next Generation (into late season 2 now).
    Working on my Dungeons & Dragons campaign some, have a lot more encounters ready then my players will go through in several sessions.
    Started re-reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, as Brandon Sanderson is due to release the 13th book this fall.
    I've not done a BattleStar Galactica or Stargate SG-1 marathon in a while, so those are both candidates for the next break.

    Really tempted to make a DK team, and level them to 68th, to finally reach my goal of 29 alchemists. The Ferals are still out there, almost 80th and I'd like to really pvp hard with them too. Not to mention get the alchemists a fair ways beyond 68th, so they just need to skill up in Cataclysm, instead of level then skill up.

    Breaks are good, the game is more fun after having taken one.

    And if you never come back to wow after your break, you have beaten the game.

    This is what I do. If I find that I am not logging in for a couple of weeks, then it's time to cancel the accounts. Anywhere from two to six months later, I usually feel the urge to play again. It's not as if there aren't other things to do when I don't have WOW.

    Usually I have a break when I travel...

    But usually when I get bored with wow, I will watch movies... read... go out into the big blue room and see friends.

    I also have two options when I am playing the game... I can either solo play or box...

    At the moment, I am solo playing because I tried to setup boxing on linux and it hasnt worked out the way I thought it would... so I am going to be setting up my old main computer again and installing Win7 on it.

    When I take a break from WoW I usually go back to other games that I have been neglecting. My last break had me painting Warhammer 40k minis and building terrain for table top wargaming. Then when I got tired of painting and building I go back to WoW.

    You could try taking up golf, that is what I plan to do for my next break from WoW. Golf is almost as expensive as warhammer 40k though but you get a lot more exercise if you *walk* the course.

    I am retrying boxing Warhammer Online.

    I got the whole burnout thing too, after doing all of my emblems on my main team. Too bad I hate raiding.

    I love raiding, but i can't pick a toon to raid on and don't wanna do it on multiple toons, don't have the time for that.
