I took break from time to time.

The way they run FFXIV truly could burn you out. A new content comes up if you don’t join the initial hype, it is more difficult to join at later stage. Then put most of my time in those content and feel burn out. Unsub to take break, play other games sitting in my steam library. Come back after few months break to do catchup.

Replace FFXIV with another MMO? So far couldn’t find anything, MMO on the market either have to play it like a job that require you login everyday with no break or very short term
