I haven't written in quite a while, pretty much not even when I hit 66. I am almost 67 now and honestly... I am burnt out. I am tired of everything. I am tired of some of my guild mates, I am tired of our roleplaying, I am tired of some of my in game friends, and most of all I am tired of my hunter. I don't know what happened.
I was so happy getting to 70 and now I just can't stand it. I don't care about hitting 70, I don't care about running more instances, I don't care about getting my flying mount, nothing. I had been so excited about getting my flying mount and making a home up there at that little floating island by Telaar and just having fun and I just have no want to anymore. I wanted to run Kara with some of my guildies and everything. What is even sadder is I am so tired of my guild, and I love my guild.
How is it that I am totally hating this game more and more as the days progress? How is it that I just cannot seem to care that I have all of this waiting for me, so much fun to have, and I just do not care. Why is that? Does this happen to everyone? If it does how do people get over it? Do they just bed their guild to make them feel like playing? Do they snap out of it? What the heck am I supposed to do about this? I don't know. I really thought I would be happy at 70, too.

I have a degree in psychology, but I'm not going there.
Take a break--force yourself to NOT log in for...oh, 2 or 3 days, at least. Go to the bookstore, library, sewing center, kitchen store, gym--whatever you used to do before WoW became such a large part of your life.
Then come back and sit in front of the computer, and see if you really want to log back in. If you do--BEFORE you do--decide what you want to do, specifically, when you do log in.
If you can't wait to log in, great. If you really don't want to log in--great, too.
Good luck!

Well it's really not that. I don't spend that much time on it. I think I'm just tired of people trying to rush my levelling and all. I have the kids to worry about and getting a new house and all so WoW really isn't that big of a part of my life.
Now I did get a little addiction to FFXI and that is where I am coming from. I know better than to make something like an mmo a big part of my life so I think I might just be tired of some of the drama I have had to deal with.
But thanks for the advice. <3
Ahh...drama != fun. I getcha.
I've never been a fast leveler (despite 3 70s and a 69.8!)--I like to stop and smell the roses. I enjoy playing my alts. I hate logging in with my hunter and get a chorus of "Get Osprey (my priest) for [name an instance]!"
Sooo...I have an alt on another server. Unguilded, low level...and horde. So, if I just need some "ME time" in WoW, I can log in the belf for a bit and get recentered.

Breaks are definitely a good thing to take if you feel like you need them. And I also agree that eventually WoW sort of ends up feeling like an obligation sometimes, especially with the social aspect. My boyfriend mentioned the other day that he wished you could log onto WoW in "invisible mode" and do your own thing without your guildies or friends jumping on you-- not that we don't love our guildies and friends, of course, but sometimes they do get to be too much.
Definitely take a break if you feel like you need one, or try rolling an "unknown" secondary character if you still want to play WoW.
You just definitely don't want to get to the point where WoW becomes a chore and if you do then a break might be good... I used to play a lot of Neopets (I'm a dork, yes =P) and eventually it stopped being fun and just became a chore to do my dailies every day. So I'm sort of taking a break from that though I hope to return someday. Because I think that games are supposed to be fun and if they stop being fun, then perhaps a break is indeed in order... anyways, good luck!
This happens to me regularly. About every three months I have a period of serious burn-out where I just don't want to think about the game. When that happens, I take a complete break for awhile. It's not easy with Petopia and a blog, but I'm good at compartmentalizing. :>
And about once a month, sometimes twice a month, I get burned out on whatever I am doing in-game and need to find something different. This is usually when I either start a new alt on a whole new realm where no one knows me, or start a new website/blog on a whole new topic where ditto.
Not terribly useful advice for you, probably, but mostly I wanted to say that this happens to me all the time. I think it's pretty normal.
Well it just so happened that one of my best friends and I had this same feeling at the same time so we made anony-alts and have told very few people whom we are. So far it is going well and I am loving my new class. :P
I think alts are awesome. I have quite a few low level ones and it can be really refreshing to play a different class. I think the act of making one...picking a new class...a new look...a new name...is so much fun.
Sometimes it feels good to just fly through a few levels on something low...because we all know what a drag those last 20 levels can be on mains.
Anyways, just remember to enjoy the little stuff. Try and remember how exciting it was when the world was new to you.
