The discussion around housing brought up an important point - often we tell people who are feeling burned out to take "a break" from the game and go do something else for a while. (That something else may be another MMO or an offline game or something not video game related at all.)

The general recommendation previously was to unsub until the next patch, which was usually no more than 1-3 months away. However, the long delay of 3.1 has now sparked concerns that future patches will also be thinner.

How long do you think "a break" is? (I personally think about a month is good, but do others go for much longer periods of time?)

Do you unsub during breaks? (I don't. I want SE to have money. I still pay for XI....)
