I'd enjoy a 3-4 month break and then return when I felt like it. Right now, I had my chars maxed in everything including armor of my choosing a couple months ago The new stuff doesn't begin for several months and I'd like to focus on other things including knee surgery, without worrying that my house, furnishings, (which I have worked hard for), will still be there while jockeying to take time away. The last thing I want is to get involved in another MMO when I do enjoy this one off and on and cannot devote the time to it now. I think time away off and on might make the play even more fun with less repetition and I intend to make this my last MMO after playing them for 24+ years. It's just kinda hard to let go even though you should ya know???
