I once knew a fellow Marine that took a week of leave to play WoW

And we were stationed in Okinawa... a SUBTROPICAL FREAKING ISLAND!! what a waste of leave time

Anywho, I took a nice break from WoW for a while as well, then slowly got back into it once WotLK came out. I have a few friends (and my girlfriend) that play as well, so that kind of helps keep it fresh.
Definitely looking forward to the revamped world that Blizzard has created. And the Worgen may actually give me a reason to play Alliance now
