And now pandas killed Grobbulus.
RIP to the best Classic WoW server 2019-2025
It was a second home to many of us. Never forget.

Thanks for letting everyone know you aren’t playing on the server! Stormwind and Orgrimmar are more packed than they’ve been for months just for prepatch.

It’s okay you don’t have to lie
It is true. We are quite deadly, you know. Best to stay far away.

This. Grobb may have been a ghost town for much of Cata, but many of the people who quit then have come back.

Was popular.
WoD didn’t hold its active player base however.

That is when I stopped playing before and I just ended my rebill again. I will only come back if they offer pre-MOP Classic Cataclysm servers. Goodbye (again) WoW.

Yeah, that’s the bandwagon player base. They show up for a month or two, then disappear only to come back during Phase 2 or 3 of each expac, and again for pre-patch and Phase 1 of WoD. It’s the same cycle every time.

That’s how WoW is played. It’s a seasonal game. Would you call people bandwagon hoppers that come for new Diablo seasons or PoE leagues?
You come for a new expansion, play for 4-6 weeks, quit. Come back if there’s a patch that sounds fun to you. Maybe come back for the final season of an expansion. That’s just how WoW is played. I can’t imagine that the sort of person that logs into WoW 365 days a year is mentally well.

Omg here we go again…
Reeeeee the pandas, THE PANDAS!!!
Just go play something else man.
It’s utterly ridiculous and childish to have this kind of a problem with a single race in a video game.

What would you say about someone who’s been logging into WoW every day since Vanilla beta? Because that kind of dedication isn’t just rare it’s foundational. They didn’t jump in for seasonal dopamine hits or patch-specific loot highs. They built guilds, crafted economies, shaped community identity, made friends and kept the fire burning even when the hype dipped and their friends quit.
Calling that mentally unwell is wild. You know what that is? Legacy. Commitment. Passion. Without those players, WoW wouldn’t have a seasonal crowd to speak of.
So if someone’s lived this world for 20 years+ straight, maybe ask yourself: are they just another player… or part of the reason WoW even survived this long?

Do you only play WoW for Cata?
I started playing WoW December 2004, on Christmas break from my undergraduate program. It’s been nearly 21 years! But I’ve never played “consistently”. I pop back in when the content seems fun. Some expansions, like original Wrath, I put 3000 hours into. Some expansions, like WoD and Shadowlands? I played about 3 weeks of each.
Wow has always been the sort of game you resub to, check out the content and either stick around for a bit or dip. I will agree that 20 years ago I think I might’ve been in the minority with this approach. In 2025? You are.

I’m the same with retail. As long as I’m within 10 lvls of max before the next expansion I’m out of there. No WoD or Legion. I’d still prefer era than full time retail. I’m don’t fit in that crowd at all.
You act like that means something.
It does in response to “pandas killed the game”

You might resub and dip, but I’m the kind of player who shows up every patch, every phase, every expansion. I don’t need hype cycles or marketing trailers to remind me why I log in I never left.
Players like you treat WoW like a seasonal side quest. Players like me built the guilds, ran the raid leads, seeded server economies, and kept the community thriving long after the new box smell wore off.
So no I’m not the minority. I’m the backbone. You may visit Azeroth when it’s convenient, but we’re the ones who keep the lights on.
