Yeah, I feel you. I currently live alone so after work I really just have the whole rest of the day to play (cats like to cuddle and watch so I’m pretty much left to my own devices). But I can see how those who don’t have the time might not be having as much fun.
I feel you for the character attachment, too. This guy has been around for half of my life; I don’t know if I can play another MMO after WoW when I finally leave/it dies someday.
