The game is alive and well! They just released the pre-order for Battle for Azeroth - which is going to introduce Vanilla servers again. My friends and I are absolutely stoked! We started up a Twitch and Twitter for it and I'm streaming my first seed raid hopefully tonight! :D
Come back to the dark side!
No, no, no. Just don't tempt me. My wife's already becoming like a raid boss, enraged and with full mana when I mention online gaming. So I better stay away!
