I've quit a few times, right now I'm currently playing though. I've also been playing since vanilla WoW so there's no way I could have played without a break since 2004.
How Many Times Have You Quit WoW And Why?

Once.
It had a good run, but after everybody constantly discussing it and all and never shutting up, I just got really bored of it.

I started playing WoW after EQ went to shit and EQ2 proved to be disappointing. A bunch of old EQ buddies were playing so I gave it a shot. Got a couple characters to 65, enjoyed the PvP and hated the solo game (solo game is what kept me going in EQ, even though I was in a decent guild). Raids bored me even more.
So, though I enjoyed PvP, the solo game wasn't what it was in EQ. Daily quests got boring fast, interaction with mobs was nothing like I was used to. Did the end-game guild stuff and still wasn't that impressed. So, after probably a year non-hardcore, I gave it up and don't really miss it.
My roommate still plays occasionally and has been trying to convince me to reactivate my acct or start a new one, but I can't convince myself it's a good idea.

i havent quit, just stopped playing for a while. gonna go buy a 2 month time card sometime and play when cataclysm comes out
I have quit the game 3 times.
Once, because my trial ran out but because my friends still played it i became more and more drawn into the game.
Twice, due to a lack of decent internet connection.
Thrice, BORED of end game content, although that break was literally only for like 3 months and i am now back on The WOW, but now i seem to be playing it less and less TBH

"Once".
I've never actually gone "Right, I'm quitting this game" as I've never felt that I couldn't simply log off and do something else (like at the moment I've not logged on for a couple of weeks, though I'm probably going to jump on over the weekend for some mucking around). However, just prior to Burning Crusade I decided that it was a prime opportunity to sell my account and make some profit out of the game. Had the bid up to £250 before eBay shut it down, boo.
After that just kept playing, sometimes more than others. I've never understood the whole "OMG, I've been clean so long...". Were you really that addicted? Has anyone ever been that addicted?

Thee times.
Once in vanilla; got bored.
Once in TBC; got bored.
Once in Wrath; no time to play.
Third quit is coming up in June, when my current playtime ends, and I'll be off until Cataclysm hits.
Unless Cataclysm hits before my playtime ends, but I don't see that as a very likely event.

This only replace the 2 weeks with 3 days.I'm mean seriously there so much grinding and there's no interesting character's T_T.Furburt said:
I quit WoW once and never returned. I got fed up trying to level because it took too long and I couldn't go to all the interesting places or get the One sword that I wanted at level 36.
The Bank of Azeroth is still holding some things for me in case I ever do return.

I stopped playing a while ago back when I had an old machine that couldn't run WotLK*.I gave the account to my brother but I have considered going back a few times.
*Except it could because I could play the beta just fine,even if the full version claims otherwise.

I have quit twice because it became boring. 5 months sober this time. However I fear that Cataclysm will reign me in again.
Twice. Once when I felt I had done everything The Burning Crusade had to offer. Again when I felt I had done everything The Wrath Of The Lich King had to offer.
