Time to hang it up?

Can't take a break because of auto-demo. Also, good (or at least passable) MMORPGs aren't exactly running around by the dozen at the moment.

If you're afraid of losing your house in a game you're not enjoying, maybe interrogate that. It's literally just a canvas to put decorations on, and you're paying rent for it in real dollars. If I ever come back, I will have forgotten any minute details about it anyway, and I can rebuild if I want to. It'd be more fun to rebuild, even.

Guild Wars 2 is phenomenal, just the mid-game of Core turns people off. Also the story isn't good (but it's completely optional, especially on alts), and it's not a raid sim. But the PvP, the WvW, the PvE at endgame are top tier. Easily the best 'contemporary' MMO by a country mile. I'd also be honored to get you started in FFXI (retail or Horizon)! The communities in both are actually really refreshingly active, social, helpful, and less "middle school mean girl" than FFXIV.

I've heard really good things about Albion Online as well.
