Yet grobbulus on Era is a prime example of how you can build and sustain a community on era and on a “dead server” (going on 4 years just on era, raiding every single week).
I’d argue Deviate Delight met its fate due to other factors, namely that it was created by streamers and killed by streamer drama.
But to say you can’t build community because DD tried and failed is crazy. I was saying back when it started, Legacy and Grobbulus would be here long before DD Fresh and we’d remain long after DD Fresh.
Look who’s still standing (and who’s got a raid in 1hr with the best crew I’ve ever played wow or really any game with).
