I think most gamers will reach a point in time when they start
to cut back on the game. Of course, your clique in-game is very
important
For example, there are guilds that kick you out because you did not
fulfill the raiding quota. And there are guilds, which keep
reminding you that real life is more important than the game
itself.
Anyway, most gamers will suffer from what we call 'burnout' where
you are just too tired and don't feel like logging on and take a
break.
Some take a break and leave forever, others come back with a
vengence
