Not even multiple games if one is an MMO. I put my xbox on the shelf if I play an mmo... cause' I play 6 hours a day on a work day and 10 to 14 hours per day on an off day.

Closest might be the first time you walk down the path into Rivendell in LOTRO, but that is just a fleeting moment. Maybe it's something to do with the game, and it's hard to create that feeling of wonder and mystery. Or maybe it's too late, I know how the games will work, and the game mechanics and interface get in the way, and it will never happen again? LOTRO had some great starting areas, maybe I should log in again sometime, it was fun but more of a "hang out with people" than actually "play a game" to me. I have a lifetime sub and my chars are all on Landroval with all you. I still wish I could find the magic I felt when I created my first Night Elf.

After locking into WoW for three solid years I've since escaped that trap but now I'm wildly unfocused in my gaming. Kind of like a schizophrenic butterfly I touch on many different games, but settle on almost none. Not sure if it's good or bad. It just <i>is</i>. Sounds just like me right now, Zubon.

I've resubscribed to LotRO twice, but still never quite reached level 20 with a character. I prefer the art styles to most MMOs, and the community is fantastic, but it's yet to get its claws into me. Still, I'll be resubbing within a month or two and might try a Rune-keeper. I would imagine, by now, that you already have several releases of every Kongai card. Are you collecting for its own sake, or using the challenges to introduce yourself to games you might not otherwise play? I can empathize about wanting to like games more than one does.
