I agree with this it IS tough man. I just get bored and want to try something else quite often. I played Cardric and I know part of the reason I failed the quest was trying the Mummy quest at something like 172 hours. I was just thinking I had to do something new or different or the character would lose attraction for me. One thing that helps me is to play an alternate character for short times from time to time. This character is usually a class I rarely play, has no time investment or role or anything, and I just show up to explore or dick around. After this "refreshing breath" I find I am able to go back to my main character and get back in the groove better. As far as age dying, unless it is your goal why worry about it? The game is about having fun and when your character becomes a chore or a responsibility rather than what you look forward to doing then delete him and make up a new one.
