This is what you don’t understand. This home was abandoned and empty. To even call it a home has to be hyperbolic. All the RP players moved to TBCC and now Wotlkc. I can’t find any stats to back up these statements, but I did find a forum thread on June of 2021 saying there was 25 Horde online and the HC community was already in full swing by then. You could probably count the amount of RP players on at any given time on no hands.
This is the post I’m refering to at (Looking for classic era realm - #4 by Qys-mankrik)
Like I said I don’t hate RP players, if anything I enjoy a little spontaneous RP once in a while if we happen to be walking in the same direction or standing by each other but to say the HC community ruined BSB has to be the closest parallel to that cartoon of the kid who stuck a branch in his bicycle, fell, and blamed something non-related.
