How i kicked the habit (FFXIV).

Honestly I cant trust people saying that they've stuck for *x number of years* because that literally explains the burnout. It was bound to happen no matter what. It finally did to people and it didnt help for them that the expansion set itself up for being the finality of the 10 year arc of the game.

Obviously a lot of people who played for that long took that message for it being a good stopping point for sticking to this one game for so long.

All of this and a Bag of Chips.
Thats why you shouldn't stagnate and stick to only 1 Game. It can be good for a while, but eventually you will get tired of it and burnt out. This applies to nearly everything in life.

Even Food, Your Job, Music, and Relationships.
Eventually, you need something new.

Yeah, a bit off the tangent here but funnily enough EXP is called "Routine" in german. Thus the message is never stick to the grind or literally the routine even if its tempting. I had so many burnouts from XIV, yet it draws me back. Going at a more healthier pace tho.

My 14-year anniversary is next week and we're still going strong. Maybe you just haven't found the right partner?

relationships does also refer to friendships, fyi. not every relationship is romantic/sexual.

Doesn't mean you have to change them out like underwear. I've had friends I met in EverQuest in 1999 that are still my friends and we still play games together. I met my hubby 27 years ago and we've been officially together for 22 years now. When it works, it works. Sure, if it doesn't then find something that will work, but you don't always need something new.

I don't know...I've got a friend that I've known for 30 years. We still hang out regularly, and we are like another member of each others family. And honestly, there are VERY few people I would even be able to consider having a friendship that lasts even 1/4 of that. Not even people I knew in school have lasted as friends as long as this one.
