I'm sure you already know this, but that's one thing you eventually learn as a gamer and especially as someone who plays MMO's.

You have to make room for RL (real life). Guilds come and go, games rise and fall, but real life is always going to be there. Family, friends, and experiences that are missed can never be replaced.

I've also noticed memorable game/online moments fade from the memory a lot quicker than real life memorable moments. Most game moments I can't recall, but trips to disney and the beach can be clear as day.
