I was watching a video the other day that talked about how quickly an exciting return to an MMO — or a fresh start — can turn sour and send us packing once more. Now there are things you can do to stack the odds in your favor of a more successful return, but the truth is that no subsequent go-around will be completely fresh and new.

So do you experience diminishing returns in coming back to MMOs you used to play, or have you found that the opposite happens — that you ended up even more engaged for a longer period of time than before?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
