Well, see, the issue is that grob has actually been getting funneled non rpers as an overflow realm for YEARS now, and it has been killing the rp scene. The real nail in the coffin was the permanent layers we got in tbc, as this forced all rp to be organized, and that was usually done in discord servers, since you could never be sure if there was no rp going on, or if you were just on the wrong layer.
I made a full timeline of grob’s descent into the only balanced pvp megaserver on the grob forums, link for anyone interested: Roleplayer Exodus - #103 by Tira-grobbulus
