Burnout is a natural part of doing anything for a long period of time whether it's a game or your job. Right now I've got WoW burnout, I can't be asked to log on and the thought of raiding Ulduar (Ignis specifically) just makes my eyes and head hurt. It's not too bad and I've certainly had worse pre-Wrath but it's exacerbated in part I think by the lull. Patch 3.1 (http://wow.com/tag/patch-3.1) is out, Patch 3.2 (http://www.wow.com/guide-to-patch-3-2/) is coming and the next unannounced expansion is a long time off yet. On top of that there aren't enough hours in the day to work, sleep, raid and play with my cats.
It makes me wonder what's the best way to get out of this phase? Do I go cold turkey for a week? Do I reroll or do I just try a new instance? Tell me your suggestions, please, how do you cope with burnout?Filed under: Virtual selves (http://www.wow.com/category/virtual-selves/), Odds and ends (http://www.wow.com/category/odds-and-ends/), Breakfast topics (http://www.wow.com/category/breakfast-topics/), Raiding (http://www.wow.com/category/raiding/)
