I’m not on the same case, I got 3x lvl 60’s and still playing Classic.
And leveling with friends is for noobs & normies

The friends that joined Classic with me still play.
Unfortunately, the friends I made whilst levelling are long gone.
Friends I gained whilst leveling? = Majority are gone, the only few that remain were part of my guild.
Friends that started with me? - Began with 4, only 1 remains.
They all pretty much left for similar reasons.
- Leveling felt too slow.
- Nothing to do at end game as no BGs were out, no honor system… just grinding pre bis.
- Phase 2 came out (That caused a few to quit) as they didn’t like being camped by a raid of horde as soon as they landed onto a flight path.
Overall, the majority of them quit.

That sucks, I knew from beginning to not try to play with private server players I met or anything as I knew that there’s alot of dedication involved.
Started with 3 now just one plays with me.

Same, but I found new friends while playing.
For a change, actually not.
We’re the same group of 10 IRL friends that always pick up the game at every WoW expansion, and we did the same now with classic.
For the first time ever, every single one of us still play the game, usually 50-60% of us drop off after 2-3 months.

The large majority of players I started playing with at launch (my guild) all reached 60 and are still playing with me.
But then again, we rolled PvE^^
This is actually the saddest post of all here.
Realms are still pretty busy, but like, log on guild, so many 60s last logged in 2 months ago
I had 0 people to play with from start, but ended up with a lot of new friends and people who helped me and whom I helped on the journey in the guild. One of the best experiences. Unfortunately, I ended up noy playing anymore because I couldn’t really be arsed earning enough gold for consumables and so on forth to uphold the standards of the raids which I respect them for doing, so instead of crying to them I am on a break.
Classic ended up being a very huge success for me as I now have a guild where I always am welcome to in the future \o/
On the contrary I started playing retail again but this time on horde. While I was enjoying the pug world seemingly performing better (subjective opinion) I had trouble finding friends to connect with and ultimately just quit and haven’t even touched the new patch.
I have very different experiences in game. I had no friends beginning again with me - where are you all old FURY’s ? - but made in-game friends in two guilds, one Horde, one Alliance. The Horde one has been growing ever since, the Ally one is dead. I am the only one left there. I think they split over some drama when I was not there as mostly it’s low level alts left in guild. I’m not playing that Ally much, else I would probably look for a new guild (will some day).
The decision that saved you and your friends. Poor fellows rolling on a PvP server because their friends are there just to get ganked 24/7.

none of my RL friends play WoW. I made some friends in-game when I was leveling up to around level 30 but they quickly outleveld and haven’t grouped with them since. I am a slow leveler because I don’t (comparatively) spend a huge time playing games, and when I do play wow, i don’t rush i like to enjoy it.
I know how to level quickly but I don’t enjoy leveling quickly. so everyone else gets leveled up quicker than me.
add to that… the guild I’ve been in, the only regular people I frequently talk to, the guild disbanded last week.
I would really like to level a character with friends or with people in game who go at the same pace as me, and play with them from 1-60. But the reality is usually different.

I am in your boat, man.
All my retail guild rush here /due to old memories from vanilla/ and in fact i am the only one still playing.
So what you describe isnt surprising at all.

most of my irl friends quit wow classic before reaching lvl 60 cus of the +8hours server queue lol, and the reset did quit after first MC raid believing that this is not the same as vanilla.
so cheer to those who had friends playing till phase2, and cheer to those who had friends that survived phase2 xD
My friends dragged me to play on the horde side even though I wanted to play alli originally, then 2 of them rolled different server (different from one in which I joined the guild pre-launch) and the third one leveled all the way to the level 60, we even did couple of zones together in party while leveling, was pretty fun.
Friend who stayed with me did Molten Core in his guild 3 times, got no loot and left the game to play retail.
The other two friends played for half the month on their server and left wow all-together (until the next expansion).
…or you know, people with friends who enjoy playing with them instead of being forever alone, leaning on WoW as a crutch for a complete lack of a social life.
