I played pretty heavy until my first daughter was born then backed down a lot. After my wife just had enough I quit for a while. I came back about 6 months later because I was given the a-ok from the boss...played for a while quit again...we had our second daughter. Was out for 4 months or so came back briefly left again. 4.0 and all the class/race/zone changes brought me back for about 3 months then I started on a whole new server and level 10 toons all at once through nearly the same content. I recently returned after another 3 month hiatus. What ends up bringing me back is a lack of anything on television and my wife being on call every weekend at the hospital.

When the kids are in bed and it's just me; it's pretty boring around the house...that said, I burned myself out last time so I'm hoping to do that again...the burn out actually helps me stay away...I love the game but since I started back up last Friday...it's like I can't stop thinking/playing it...despite all my best attempts at self-control it seriously just takes me over...so maybe a better question is how do you keep yourself away rather than what brings you back.
