I take a month or so break every 9-12 months, I find that essential, I'm not sure how much that is to do with Eve though and how much it is to do with the stresses of being CEO and fleet commander.
I also try and break things up and not do the same thing in game all the time, although that can be difficult given my role. I try to do more mining and npc hunting when I get a little bored of PvP. If that doesn't work though I'll happily sit in a station for a week just chatting to people.
I recently tried agent running on an alt to give me a new perspective on the game, as expected it was as dull as dishwater though! Well after a couple of weeks it was but I wasn't half fired up for getting back into PvP full time after that!
To be honest though, I can happily log into Eve and do nothing in game for hours, I am blessed with so many good people in my corp and in friendly corps that I can spend whole days just chatting to them and really not feel like I've wasted any time.
I still fimly believe that all MMOG's are about the people you hang out with as much as being about the game itself. I can't see myself getting chronically bored with Eve this side of 2010 assuming my mated keep playing but I'll be having another month long break in 6-8 months.
I guess my serious advice would be take a month off, try some other games then go back to the bits you enjoy most because even after a month off the seem great again! If that doesn't work and you've tried everything in Eve go back to the beginning again and try something you haven't tried in ages.
Good luck and I hope you find your Eve mojo again!

I find short term goals are more effective than long term goals. We've done pretty much everything there is to do in the game, and achieved pretty much everything possible for our corp size.
However, since we've taken the merc route this gives us fresh goals constantly. It also gives us the time to engage in other parts of the game when we want, ie run agents inbetween wars etc.
The great thing is, when a war starts to get boring or you win you move on to the next. We don't have to find new projects, they find us. It's not a matter of logging on and erm what shall we do today, we already have our goals set.
Running missions, playing in the EVE casino, mining, all the stuff that isn't thrilling or exciting is made fun by the fact all your m8ors are hanging on ts having a laugh, and for anyone that's ever experienced KIA TS you'll know that's what we do.
The key to enjoying EVE and keeping it fun is to be dynamic. With an independant corp that does what it wants you get that flexability.
People leave KIA every now and again, but they always come back. It's very rare that people actually find the grass is greener, and if they stay away it's usually because of timezone issues or whatever.
Find a dynamic career where you can get the opportunity to focus on many different parts of eve. Join a corp that allows you to do this, this is the key.

EVE is about other people, simple as that. Join a corp that caters to your interests and follow your dream.
As for myself, I enjoy enslaving an inferior race, forcing my will upon others, and killing those who rise up against me; hence my involvement in PIE.

If it wasn't for the forums I would have quit Eve ages ago.
Hell, I caught myself thinking about going mining recently ... things must be bad*
*Don't worry, I was strong and managed to resist.

Average players that like a game stay around for 2 a 3 years, then it gets boring.
This is basically the standard behaviour since the times people played m.u.d.s on the internet around 1992 for example.
People come and go, not because the game gets boring, but they just did all the game could and then slowly they go complain about small details and get irritated and bored.
Best advice is look for a new game.

Just you, go pvp
boring...
Especially when you logout in Warp with 1/4 Structure left to avoid losing your ship Ehhh?
You did have enough Class to say Bye IMP GTG 
Next time try staying in the fight to the finish.. It might be more exciting for you.

Eve to me is like one big expensive chat room, its all about the social thing with me.
But this has more teeth than sims online

Losing your ship/pod isn't very exciting. Well about as "exciting" as watching your car get stolen and wrecked. I'm sure it seems cheesy to some PvPers but that's the system CCP has, have to use scramble to really make a kill. I would warp out cause I would expect anyone else to do the same if they could.

It's a little bit boring but that's what you get for playing 2yrs straight.
"PVP" simply isn't the answer if you've already done lots of that, though.
My sentiments exactly. Been there, done that -- can't think of anything else I really want to do.

#1 I was Teasing ya I could care less about the Tactic
#2 You Got my Wolf that day but your RAVEN was in structure.
#3 There were IMP Forces at both gates I should know because I was the Fleet Commander and I went into warp (With my Second Character) with you when you ran for The FD-MLJ gate, Typed those Exact Words and dissapeared from Local 
Now if you hit a SafeSpot Kudos to you that was a Good Tactic but nevertheless you Logged off and never arrived at the FD-MLJ Gate.
This is 100% Correct in exactly what happened Sir.
It wasnt meant as a SLAM but rather to hopefully remind you that people of your Caliber leaving the Game is a Sad loss for the Entire Eve Uninverse.. People like you add Spice to the game.

Amazingly boring. I decided life was too short (still check the forums every now and then just in case something EXCITING has happened; no luck so far). Cancelled both my accounts a while back.

I warped to ss in the direction of gates (as far as I remember, then logged after I got there), cuz local was getting bit 2 hot, even tho I had instas all over the place so I could probobly just go to empire, but why risk....
gf btw:)
