How to stop being a roleplay leech?

[world_eater]

Okay sorry if the term is confusing, I think I heard somewhere the proper term but I forgot it.

Basically what I mean is, I have these phases where I'll get super excited about an RP, write up characters, be active and all that jazz and then one day POOF my enthusiasm is gone and but I can't bring myself to quit so I say I'm just taking a short break and then I usually vanish because my enthusiasm really doesn't come back.

Thing is I LOVE roleplaying so I always get drawn to it after a while... this time I want to start roleplaying in WoW, I have started up 2 characters that I want to level to join roleplaying guilds and have arranged a concept for a third. I want to do this, but I'm afraid that it will happen again and WoW isn't something where I can just poof, because I raid every week.

I know it's super shitty of me when I do it to people so I beg you guys not to judge me, I was hoping that maybe someone here has the same experiences and found a solution? :(

Be up front about your tendency to fuck off for long periods of time. Let them know ahead of time, though you may want to sweeten it by telling them life gets in the way or something.

I've had this happen to me. Hell, I've been playing the same character off and on for almost ten years! There's often a couple year gap where I get bored or disinterested.

I think the problem is that you want to join a guild--if you join a club and then end up saddled with responsibility it's worse if you back out. I suggest just steering clear of that; keep roleplaying and make friends, but maybe steer clear of guilds.

If you can't do that (WoW is different; I play a browser-based mud that's all text) then make sure you don't take on responsibilities within the guild.

Oh my god, this is totally me.

I try to go for characters I'm very nostalgic over too, because maybe I'll want to play them more, but nope. The excitement ditches after such a short period of time :/

Ah, sorry I'm not of any help D:

This probably won't help much if you're exclusively into MMORPGs or other crunch-heavy venues, but if you're capable of getting your fix through journal-based RP there are several communities here on DW which are good for roleplaying in spurts.

bakerstreet, memebells, barrettes, and other 'meme' comms update frequently with various prompts and players who see scenarios they're interested in playing out toss their characters at each other for short-term, low-commitment roleplay. No muss, no fuss, and if you flake off after a few days virtually no one will hold it against you.
