Default I've lost the desire to play everquest

And it makes me sad. Have any of you experienced and beaten this illness? How do I enjoy the nostalgia again when it isn't fun anymore. Pls help.

1) do not raid
2) take a break and play something else for a bit (im playing star craft 2 LoV - hella fun)
3) come back and twink an alt

Ive already taken about a 6mo break. Maybe I need to try an untwinked alt.

Probably time to move on. Nostalgia can only fuel so much.

You have a level 60, you probably done a few raids.. after awhile deep down you know its a 17 year old game on an emulated server chasing pixels when there are other things out there like... candy and .. other things.

Delete your characters and never look back, its how I left EQ and WoW.

Jauna seems to be touching on the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Defin. "Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it"

The wife and I come and go, too. We've had breaks from P1999 as long as a year or so, at times.

The best way to enjoy this game long term is to know what you like and stick to those parts of it. It's a big game world with a lot of different ways folks can make use of it. I don't know if it applies to you personally, but folks sometimes get so caught up in the drive to progress that they progress themselves right out of the parts of the game they enjoy.

every time you try to feel the same feeling it gets duller. Just let go.
