you played wow hardcore religiously from vanilla to wotlk and then they changed things and now you don't play anymore

there are people who played religiously from vanilla to now
there are people who never played vanilla and are hardcore raiders now

I guess another thing to add would be roleplaying, even though that's a very small subset of players there are still massive amounts of people on moon guard, emerald dream, argent dawn, and wrymrest accord who are casual/hardcore roleplayers

if a game is dead for you then why bother trying to breath life back into it? go play on whatever server izzy plays on
