Just wondering, I have multiple times, but then I become interested again after a few months or so (maybe longer)
Do you think you'll lose interest in ACNL?

I will for some months at a time but then I'll get back into it and super obsessed lol (that's just my personality). I was really burnt out a month or two ago so I'm sort of surprised that my interest came back again so soon!!! I'm really enjoying this town though and it's helped that I joined this forum. There is so much more to do now than when I was just playing by myself (or occasionally with my sister). I'm sure I will get burnt out again but hopefully a new AC is just around the corner ;>

It's been a couple of years, but I haven't yet! If I do lose interest, I can't see it being a permanent thing. After all, I recently got back into Wild World and I'm enjoying it again after being away a few years.

Hasn't happened in over two years, so I don't expect it'll happen any time soon.
I know there are people who get bored and reset once their towns are "complete", but I love seeing my villagers every day. They can always make me smile when my anxiety gets kinda bad.

I always lose interest, it usually takes roughly 3 months to come back and the phases change and such. I think this has been my longest phase since the game came out this forum and a friend that recently got into the game has spurred a lot of my motivation to play.

I go in and out. Sometimes I lose complete interest for months but then pick it right back up again... though it seems it's always at the worst times. I wish that I picked up interest in the summer but instead it seems to happen during the winter when finals and projects are happening at school. Right now, I'm at the phase where I can't put it down because the forest I'm working on is HIGHLY addictive.
To be completely honest, I have lost a lot of interest in it considering how much it meant to me when I started my acnl file! I think that when you achieve what you want your town to look like and are satisfied with all your villagers, things get a little bit slower and personally it made me feel less interested in playing... all i do daily is talk to the villagers, see what's for sale then that's it, there isnt much more to do anymore...
I burned out on NL after it came out. I was playing around 6-8 hours a day and it was crazy. I took about 9 months out - no particular reason, I just didn't see any reason to play. Then I started playing again for a few months, then got bored and put it down again. So this is try number 3 for me. But I'm enjoying it. Some of my old friends have gotten back into it too which is nice.

I had first stopped when I lost my cartridge, but then I bought another copy after about a month, played that for a while and then got bored, and then waited a few months till I actually wanted to play again, started playing again, found my other copy, started playing both, then I got HHD and now I haven't played it again in some time, but I am planning on getting back into it.

RUN AWAAAY!!!
I've been playing NL for almost a year and a half and I haven't lost interest yet. I'm sure I will sometime, like when a new Animal Crossing game comes out.
I burned out badly twice.
Ten months after the release, playing from 9 to 16 hours (I'm serious! Don't do this kids, it ain't healthy) a day, I was frustrated and unsatisfied with my old town. Everything was a chore. I stopped playing for almost a year I believe? I felt guilty, even, but the idea of going back to a town I wasn't happy with didn't appeal. The only reason I didn't reset at the time was because of all the accomplishments and villagers I liked.
After that, I went back and played sporadically. After I just had finished the 16-villager cycle to get Erik back, I decided to reset.
That was my second burn out. I played like CRAZY, sending all my items and catalog, getting clovers, transferring some villagers. It was a very dull and boring job, took hours and hours, so I got tired after two months or so. At least I finished sending everything to my new town, and did some landscaping.
Now, I'm back a third time, a lot more laid-back. I don't plan to do the same crazy 10-hour days I did before. I'm focusing on getting badges and landscaping in a more moderate pace.
