MMO's aren't necessarily boring - my wife I were long time EQ enthusiasts, mostly due to the Raid end of the game, which was generally quite complex and challenging.

Sadly, morning sickness (water, flight and other environmental issues sent her running for the porcelain god) and then mom stuff ended my wife's involvement, and once our daughter was up past dinner time, my inability to spend hours a night raiding curtailed my raiding as well.

Still get the urge every so often, but none of what is out there right now seems particularly attractive. If Pantheon ever actual moves forward, I will likely give it a shot, as by then my daughter will be off to college and I will be retired with time on my hands.
