I played retail DF. Boring and massive timegating. They introduced massive amounts of timegating. Proffs are now timegated. Timegating took on a whole new level in DF. The flow of the game at least for druids who herb was seriously disturbed. No more free flowing herb picking. It is, till you get the skill to herb with dragons, fly to herb, dismount, either take off or most of the time wait for CD to use dragon or wait for the bar to fill up so you can actually use the dragon to take off. It is constant stop...wait...and then go. This gets tired really quickly.

RNG took on another whole level with proff mats now to be found in several grades. RNG proff mats. Essentially more timegating as you need certain quality items and have to farm till you get them.

The only savign grace we might have is that on priv servers they can choose to get rid of the most of the timegating. This is partly why i am here since i do not have to deal with Blizz's BS timegating. Timegating for the sake of MAU's. Monthly active users.

Most people here because they cannot or do not want to pay the monthly sub towards Blizzard.

Older expansions would for sure attract more players, if those servers would still be moderated and develop, but Firestorm does not have enough people for it.

I would play the WotLK server, if it was updated to 3.4.1, so the text-to-speach addon would work, but it won't on the 3.3.5 version, which is Firestorms WotLK Server (sadface)

I'm not really a big fan of the BfA expansion, all this azerite and corruption gear is not my cup of tea. But for sure, I enjoyed the cosmetic item farming on those Island Expeditions. (over 1000 runs done)

So yeah, most of the Firestorms players will always stick to the latest expansion server.
