I started WOW in 05. I stopped raiding after the 'great gear equalizer' that was Burning Crusade. End game didn't feel nearly as special. I continue to play on and off to this day but the casual content is not keeping me hooked long term.
I have also found time now to get done projects that I've been putting off for quite a while. It's definitely opened my eyes to just how much I can get done if I'm not sitting in front of my PC.
Now if I can just drop my Plants vs Zombies habit.
