Title: I'm going to leave, but then change my mind and resubscribe.

Oh wait.  I've already done that.   :lol




I figured I would keep the recently popular posting theme going.   :banana:  :banana:

:headscratch: It's sad to see people leave,
 especially ones that have been here for a long time.
 Always glad to see people come back after a hiatus :airplane:
 Everyone takes a break on occasion,
 just don't make it a permanent one.

this last time I went on hiatus...when I came back it felt like well over a year since I flew....

I knew for sure then and there my addiction was heavy.  :confused:

I paid for a month subscription, I just can't seem to get motivated to fly anymore. It seems i'm more stressed about paying my wife's bills, everytime it seems I have an hour to fly I end up juggling money instead.

Sad part is Its been almost a year now, much as loved Aces, I seem to be going back to older games. Something I can tinker for 15 minutes, save and come back.

Tho' I was simply continuing the running forum joke your reply brings up a good point.

I've tried to leave the game three times in the past year for various reasons (burned out, bored, real-world and family issues).  Each of the first two lasted less than a week but when I did "return" I was still suffering from the same burnout / boredom / irritation I had before the break. 

When I "semi-quit" in Dec it lasted almost the whole month...partly because I was super busy with the Holidays and partly due to dealing with "real world" family troubles.  I was surprised when I "returned" that this time I felt much better and even my gameplay appeared to improve.  Some of this I attribute to things getting better in the "real world", but some of it is because I really did need a break. 

So I guess the lession to take away from this is if you are suffering from AH Burnout you need to force yourself to step away for a while.  I'm sure the duration will change depending on the person but for me it was about a month.  I'm sure I would get the shakes and cold sweats if it was any longer than that.   :D

I left this game so many times in the last 13 years I lost count.
I'll most likely leave it as many times in the next 13 years.
