Would you guys do the same? /u/Friendly_Duty_3540 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I (the dungeon master) started a campaign almost a year and a half ago. In the year and the half we have been playing, we have only played 9 sessions. These sessions are only roughly 2-3 hours long. If it were up to me, I’d play at least 4-5 hours per session. At least that’s what we planned in our Session 0, to play 3-4 hours at least at max 5 if we had the time.

Well, our last session was almost 2 months ago. I have been crafting and home brewing this world for ages now, and I’m starting to lose interest. My group is usually busy, and so am I but most of the time I schedule days in advance for me and my group to play and there have been many instances where the day before or day of they will tell me they can’t play anymore.

One of my players a month ago told me only 2 days before our scheduled time that they were leaving for a whole month. I wouldn’t be upset but there wasn’t really any warning about them being gone for more than 30 days. It was kind of upsetting. So I had to cancel the session.

Overall, I’ve really lost interest in playing because it feels like unless I schedule times to play, no one takes initiative to get together. I put a lot of effort and time into crafting my homebrew campaign and it feels like not much effort is returned back.

Recently, I got invited to a hobby shop close near my house where a group hosts D&D every Friday. They have been looking for a dungeon master and I offered to meet them and maybe start planning a new campaign. I told my old players about this.

I told them about the situation and how I no longer feel like really running the current campaign because no one else takes initiative to play, and when we do play it’s only for 2 hours because people have to leave and what not.

Would you do the same? Am i in the wrong to want to leave this current campaign and go to a new one?

Edit: there’s also a lot of times where we go a month without playing and it’s a constant hassle because I have to do session by session recaps with them and they seem so disinterested half the time
