Oh and real life stuff has prevented me from posting about the FFXI, and there is a ton of stuff to talk about with that, so you should see something about that soon :)

Umm… real life sucks. I am forced to do real life stuff all the time. I would give it up in a minute to play video games.

Or really, anything that knocks you out of that playing mentality can cause long-term reductions to the desire to play. The easy-to-see version is when someone switches games: in the course of two weeks, he goes from spouting the loot drop tables from memory to “EQ suxx0rz.” One large setback in-game can make you seriously ask, “Why am I playing this?” That’s a crisis that can last a while. The grind looks pretty silly when you’re not into it.
