I was also pretty much out of gaming during 2e. That was mostly a result of my lifestyle, where I was more focused on working and going out. Things started to change for me though once I became engaged and started to settle down. Then Icewind Dale and Baulder's Gate II came out and pulled me back to 2e. Shortly after that 3e came out and I flipped through it but thought the overall feel was too anime and childish for me. I did however think many of the mechanics seemed more streamlined. Eventually I switched over but it took me about a year or two before I actually started playing it regularly.
