    I've been playing Star Wars: Battlefront, Painkiller, Doom3 and IL2 Sturmovik (can't go too long without some stick time). Rome gets time too but not all my game time. This reduces the chance that anything gets too repetitive or boring. It's also why I'm still on my first Scipii campaign. If you exclusively play any one game for a long time it will get old.

    Sorry, should have explained Tolstoy there. Agreed with the last two posts -- any activity will become repetitive and "boring" if overplayed/overworked/etc. Even creative work becomes painfully dull if you don't take a break from it and do something else.

    Burnout is the same thing, only that's the term for the same feeling when you're obliged to do something so constantly that it becomes dreadful.

    So, take a walk (a long one, as in these or anything here) and everything will be better, even RTW

    I usually combat the eventual boredom by having interest in a few games of differing eras at one time. I'm currently also into IL-2, as well as FS9 and EU2. Plus I think I'll look into The Sims 2. I'm not bored with RTW yet, or will I probably ever be 100% bored with it. But when my attention wavers, I'll just hop into a WW2 era dogfight. You can't take any more of a left turn than that!
