Burnout - How do you handle it?

Anap KaSplat · 03-26-2008, 08:40 PM

One of the things that any eq2 player who has been playing for a while can tell you about is burnout. You know, that point in time where you get to where you dread logging into the game. The reasons for this are plentiful. Whatever the case may be, we've probably all felt it at one time or another.

What do you do when you get to the point where logging in feels more like a chore you HAVE to do, and less like something fun that you WANT to do? Do you go outside

and spend some quality time under that bright fiery ball in the sky? Do you play other games? Do you just keep going on because others are depending on you until such time as you just possibly can't stand it anymore?

What's your cause(s) for burnout?

How do you handle burnout?

I play 360 or PS3 in more abundance during my times that I don't feel like logging into EQ2.

Whenever I was burned out in EQ2 I would just log onto WoW...

I played DDO some... Yah I know alot of people think its really fuckin retarded but the hack and slash is kinda mindless entertainment when I need a cooldown from SOE's shit... Not to mention Turbines Dev's are hella fuckin cool

1) I B.S. in the level chat when I get bored.

2) I make a throwaway character to roleplay with random people in East Freeport and Qeynos Harbor, just to watch them react to me like I'm some blathering idiot, despite the fact that I play on a roleplaying-preferred server.

3) I jump off of really, really, high things to see how much damage I can take.

4) I make nice adornments, then give them away to the first person who finds me in game and bows to me (No, I don't give any clues as to where I am).

5) I go blue shiny hunting in Chardok as a Shadow Knight, just to see how far I can make it before my 95% feign success chance fails (way more often than it should) and I die, only to have to sneak all the way back in.

6) I hang out in the Arena because it reminds me of this old laser tag place called PHOTON that I used to go to when I was a kid...it was somewhere in Illinois, and some of the arenas look similar. So, essentially, I go to reminisce...

7) I collect shinies, craft, make adornments, or do other mindless tasks while my real focus is on posting random, stupid crap on this site.

8) I tell random people to send me tells so I have someone to talk to. Feel free to do so.
