wow
I can’t believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.
Seems to be chugging along just fine, they really made a gold standard game. They are even smart enough to dip into the nostalgia crowd who liked the older versions better with the classic servers. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if it were still an actively developed game in 10 years

They really did. I still remember the first time I logged in — pure magic. I’ve never felt that way about a game since.
it’s so interesting to me, how different subjective perception can be.
I heard a lot about it in school, and eventually shared a friend’s account for a bit. loved making a character, started the game and… meh.
kill 10 wolves, fetch 10 berries, fetch 10 feathers. go to this lifeless dude, walk to this dead settlement. stand around while autoattack happens. I’m sure it opens up, especially when joining up with groups but the beginning didn’t hook me whatsoever, sadly

Don’t give them that much credit. They just started providing a service (finally) that the private servers were providing. People were asking for vanilla servers from them even when BC was live.
So, you could say they formed an alliance?
Good. I heard being ionized can be bad for your health
Good for them. Hope more follow suit.
