Sub lapsed first time in 5 years

Hello,

So supposedly my sub lapsed this weekend for the first time in 5 years. I didn't even feel like I need to renew it right away, though I'll "have to" soon ish so I won't lose my house.

Time to take a break if I don't even feel like renewing a service i happy been paying for the past 5 years?

its completely up to you. I took a long break from the game when my depression was at its worst. We all have lives to live and a game can always wait on the back burner

well like i said. its all up to you. I'm sorry your not having as much fun as you used to. But there's nothing stopping you from coming back for the next expansion and what not. try new things while your away. I was like you and want's having much fun after a while and just let my sub run out and did other stuff until I felt like coming back.

While I'm sure your fc friends will miss you I'm also sure they'll understand. if you have any reservations or feel obligated to anyone just remember its just a game. your biggest obligation in life is for you to be happy with who you are. and a game doesn't define that.

how important is the house for you? do you really need it, or do you just have a house because it's rare and you don't wanted to miss out? and is it worth for you to pay the sub just to keep the house, without actually playing the game in the next months?

With how the housing system is in this game...yes. Most other MMOs would just give one to each player (for free most of the time) without the need to keep logging in to keep it.

If you really really REALLY don't want to play this game, the house thing won't stop you from not subbing.

I've reached that "I just don't care for this anymore" breaking point in many games. There was nothing those games could do to stop me from not playing.

Course, I'm on a server that has houses available out the wazoo, and while I'd hate to lose the one I have here, I could easily grab another if I ever came back, barring something unexpected like being labeled "the alt/new RP server" (by the community) like what happened with Mateus at start of Stormblood.

Yes it is important enough to keep my sub active, otherwise i wouldn't brought that up as a point.
I spend the time to get enough gil, fighting the horde to get to the sign first and buy the house. I don't want that be wasted.

Maybe I just need to find new people and have fun with the social part.

Can't say it the same with Large houses on any EU server. Maybe that's more common on the NA servers?

I feel like they need to make normal content more difficult. That might spice things up!

I don't think there are any larges left at all. Zalera's been one of the smaller (if not smallest) servers for a while and even here all the larges are bought up.

That would be a start for sure. Best time i had in ARR was progressing in Coils. I havn't felt same satisfaction with Alex or Omega, sadly.

Personally, I found the story of Alexander and Omega to be very lacking when compared to Coil. We also had the ARR intro movie to add to the mystique of the fights. You would see that movie at the title screen, which was epic to many people and coils tied right into that.

Alexander and Omega have tried to stand on their own and to me at least, I found both to be bland and boring. I usually like story content which makes the miss even more glaring to me.

Well Pharos Sirius was pretty tough when it first came out (and apparently still is if you do it at minimum ilevel, which is i48), but we all know how that story goes. Majority of the playerbase does not seem to like it when content meant for casual play is difficult :U

Well it is sad also in a way that if you want a break you know you may loose your house.
Considering it has taken myself until last housing patch to finally get one i almost feel the need to remain subbed

Some of the bosses also had a lot of emotional weight to them and there's a couple of major deaths involved that serves to make the stakes rather high. Heavenward's and Stormblood's raid stories just feel like they were more about inserting cool references than actually telling a cohesive story. I'm also tired of Cid and his lackeys being injected into raid content, especially when we know they're immune to lasting injuries/deaths.

Just take a break. If money is not an issue, keep your sub up for housing purposes or if a friend need a hand with something.

I personally took a long break during HW, at the begining of 3.1 through 3.3 because Gordias killed my will to raid and I had no faith in the next raid tier. The game was feeling really stale at the time and the Diadem was truly bad. I had plenty of things to do when I came back. It was refreshing and felt like starting over, re-learning some stuff I had for granted.

It's sad you can't transfer your house to someone else or make the house sharing more useful, like letting that people to stop the autodemolish feature by stepping inside your house.

I’ve played since beta phase 3 and I am now, for the first time feeling completely burnt on everything in the game. The hardest part for me is the fact we all pay what we do to play this and we are progressively getting more content. I am currently subbed but breaking with ESO, it’s just a shame, I feel like they have really dropped the ball this expansion...a break will do you good I’m aure..
