Burned Out??!!

I've been playing second life for about five years now, in fact my original avatar was made in July of 2004. I have played on and off but this is the first time I have really felt I don't even want to log in game. When I first started SL the land was mostly owned by Linden Labs. Those who did owned land had it connected to what LL owned. There was no such thing as a sim or a telehub (or what ever the hell you call it) to teleport too. You had to fly every where to get to your destination. If a region was closed between where you were and where you wanted to be you could pretty much forget getting there. There were maybe 4 malls and a few major stores that you purchase clothes, shoes and hair from. There were four car dealerships and two of those were owned by brothers. Things were easier more fun, people were friendly, life was more laid back. Now, its all about who can get over on who, who can takes who's man (or woman), who can make the most money, who can start the most drama. SL is not fun anymore for me when I log in. I use to enjoy the day to day routine of the game, now I log on long enough to just say hi to my family and friends and then I am logging out. I never thought I would be burned out from playing a game in which I use to love so much. I have felt like not loggin in before, but never this bad. I really just don't see any fun in the game any longer. I am taking a break, I really don't even know how long either. It has nothing to do with the Sims 3 coming out next week, it really is because I am just sick of SL.

Good Lawd girl you been playing a long ass time. LOL. I think you should take a brief break, I may do so too. Hearing you and others talk about this new Sims 3 game I may just partake in it as well. I played the original Sims for 2 months but didn't like the whole using the restroom, sleeping and working crap. The fact you never had a damn off day with the OG one made me dislike it. I may try this one out.
