Long time players, how long will you stick around with no new stuff??

I've been sort of in and out of the game lately. I'm not giving up, I just am taking my time with it now. And some stuff has come up in my life that's sort of serious that I got to take care of. So, haven't had the energy to do much in this game. And I suppose its the perfect time for me to take downtime from the game and focus on other stuff. But, I've been paying attention to what's been going on, and I agree that it sucks not having anything new. But, sort of glad under my circumstances....
