The implications for that are absolutely **HUGE**. The reason for the Ixal summoning Garuda, why they hate Gridanians and those living in the Black Shroud, the core of their age-old bitterness, hatred and cruelty ... and I just couldn't get any enthusiasm / understanding out of my friends.
I saw that and was like wat wat waaaat?! Shared it to a couple ooh, aah, that'll be interestings. Better than nothing.
Me, I've been playing alts lately. That's how I know I'm not really on board anymore. When I'm actually into things, I'm very dismissive of my own alts. Right now, I'm just hanging on until the new stuff.
I don't really have any advice for how to stay motivated. When I did have some leader-ish responsibilities, they were fine while I was fine, but when they crashed and burned, they crashed and burned hard, nothing left but a pile of ashes, so I try not to volunteer for much of that stuff anymore.
There's probably something to moderation in all things. Go hard while you've got the go, but don't be afraid to step back in as many places as you can, delegate more things than you usually would so you can give yourself a breather when the go starts to dry up.
