Have you finally kicked the MMO addiction?

In the past, I've played a lot of MMO's. (yesterdays term MMORPG). It started with Meridian59, then Ultima Online, then to Everquest, then Asheron's Call, and then just about everything n between from then to World of Warcraft and LOTRO.

And I have to say, I'm done with them all. In my opinion, they are all like this:

A few of them hooked my attention for a very long period of time. I think the games I spent the most time in were:

- Everquest (more like evercamp)
- Star Wars Galaxies with Jump to light speed expansion
- Dark Age of Camelot
- Planetside

Of all of the games I played, i think I had the most fun with SWG with the JTL expansion pre NGE/CU. That was a pretty sweet sandbox. Second runner up was Planetside before they went and blew up araxis and made the map all fubar.

Nowadays, i'm perfectly content with just about anything from orcs must die, to skyrim, to killing floor, bioshock... hell, even rage. Or Stalker. Where as before i would float from one MMORPG to the next, like a revolving door, often going back to games i had previously played; these days i find myself playing whatever seems fun to me at the time.

So have you kicked the addiction? I'm pretty sure I have. Haven't touched an MMO in a couple of years now.
