There is so much truths to what Ignacius says, I don't even....
I wish more people thought like this. People devour game content so quickly, then sit around clamoring for more.... there are a lot of fun games out there. Learn to spread out your time. It keeps everything more fresh and enjoyable. If you repeat the same action over and over, for hours at a time, without a break.... then yeah. It stops being fun. Starts to feel like work. Work you don't get paid for.
This goes for RP too. I have a hard time rping with people who are IC all the time. I can have a fun session of RP with them, take two days off for rl pursuit, then come back to find they have advanced their story so far without me that I'm practically written out of it.
Conversely, in my tabletop group, we meet once a week, and I always look forward to it. I know exactly where the story left off, who my character is and what role she fills in relation to the others, and that I'll be an integral part of the story, not just standing around and watching others have fun.
#4 of ignacius's post cannot be stressed enough. If the game is no longer fun.... don't force yourself. Its not magically going to become fun again, and a change of scenery is always refreshing.
