How many hours, how many days, how many ranks, how many credits?

The Topic is yours to discuss.

Side question is how many days of break?

There's no any bonus given if you answer, lol.

Take a break whenever it stops being fun.

Take the break for as long as you need for it to be fun again.

This is a game and if you aren't enjoying it, you shouldn't be here!

You don't get a bonus, but you get a tip :)

Every account, 3 months. No exceptions.

I tend to play a character and once it dies, break for about 5 months. Most recent streak was just over a year. It adds to the drama of my character, too. I come and meet new people, serve my time and then vanish among the bodies, piling high at the cost of whatever chaotic war descends upon the ranks. 

A boom is a boom Louis. Now read it right, I didn't say bum. Coz even people u consider you a friend of, sometimes get wrong feelings about you. Coz U/they had some alcohol? And may become your worst ennemies for reading something wrong? ...

Is that a riddle? 

When you start thinking  to kill some people in real life, just to give them a chance to start over, i think it is time for a break.

P.S. they won't come back with another character.

When you been playing for 5 years straight and suppose to take a break after each character but did not. :(

You need a break when you start dreaming about doing petties. That's when you know you've done too much. 

When you start having revelations on upcoming wars in your sleep. Has happened to me, i've been right on all of them so far 0.o 

When you have a credit but you want another credit so you go to the man who credits and gets another credit but you find out there aren't anymore and you only have the one you had at the start??? That's usually when I have a break. 

Anyone else?

Whenever I want to take a break I just take a kit kat.

I agree that when it stops being fun its time to take a break, after peeps it is a game so don't take it to seriously and just enjoy your time here, when your not enjoying it and having fun anymore take some time away and gather yourself.

I took a nearly 3 year break until this character. I've had a few notable ones but I've always held to the idea that when things get heavy in real life, my role play accounts are expendable. Of course at this moment things are pretty good and I have time to dedicate to the role play aspect of the game so I've got quite a few hours logged in but in reality I play this game because it's fun. If it's not fun, I don't play. 

When I am left with no hope, drive or motivation to repeat monotonous tasks for the umpteenth time. When it becomes a chore to log in: for necessity – rather than pleasure. When I begin question whether I should have a break more often than not. When I cannot care less whether I log in to the graveyard, and when I silently wish for it.

I take a break after every character these days. 

I don't know if its the longevity of the game these days, but it seems like the breaks are needed between accounts. I think the two tie together in a sense; the longevity of accounts and the breaks between.
