Although MMO's generally require a lot of investment it's not unusual to encounter individuals who split their time between two or more. In some cases they do this to help combat stagnation. In other cases it's because established friendships and/or nostalgia encourage them to stick around or at least check back in from time to time to see how a game has evolved since their departure.
As for me? FFXIV is and likely always will be my primary MMO. I adore it and it offers most of what I seek out of an MMO. Yet to prevent myself from burning out I do - from time to time - check back on my blood elf over in WoW.
WoW itself doesn't hold nearly as much allure to me as it once did and unless the developers make some pretty major changes to the core game mechanics I predict that it'll continue to decline in popularity.
Established friendships, however, forged over the course of seven years prove to make the occasional return worthwhile. I can, of course, speak to most of them over Skype if I so desire though it isn't the same as actually playing something with them - and not all of them wish to try out FFXIV.
So! Does anyone else invest in another MMO other than FFXIV, or at least stray to one from time to time? I'm curious!
