I didn't unsubscribe, but I did take a break at some point.. I was doing the grind to get philo and myth stones, and it just totally burned me out. Also, being on an American server at the time didn't help much with getting groups going. I never really missed the game during that break actually, but I did miss the people I'd played with. I went and played ESO, but that quickly turned into a bore for me for unknown reasons..

When I decided to try ARR again, I also decided to go for an EU server. Met a whole bunch of nice new people there, and I've been helping people doing dungeons for exp, help people get their first relics, and generally just have fun. I stopped caring about the loot or needing the have the best this or that, and instead just do the things I enjoy doing in MMO's.
