Ain’t just you… there are a good few events that have caused things to trend downwards and it shows. Some people are still dedicated and attached to their chars and social groups, but it’s gotten smaller… and emptier.
From SL being a little lackluster and trending downwards, the lore of SL not lending itself for RP in all but very few cases, the actiblizz situation that goes on, continued lack of rp related additions to the game, to last but not least a seeming increase in harassment and sexual misconduct in the game where people get away with preying on other players or play out weird fantasies without being punished for it, despite it clearly breaking ToS and drastically messing with the mental health and enjoyment of other players.
I can’t even bring myself to log on anymore having been victim that to that myself, but I feel it’s important to make your voice heard all the same.
Sincerely, I hope there can be some kind of movement to make rp community heard and be considered more as it’s core part of the game and the main source of enjoyment for a lot of people playing WoW.
Give this here a look and feel free to spread the word if you want to. It’s just an attempt but better than nothing.
