They still keep me busy. And probably will for at least the next 16 years.
Make it 30, or, probably, forever. You just need to find time for your interests.
I try to be at the game as much as possible and when I cannot, I leave my chars doing nothing at some safe place till I can play again.
I need to say the last years didnt allow me to play as before but I have good times anyway.
I learned to enjoy the small things and don't expect too much but I am lucky to be in realms that give me good times very often.
