The Daily Grind: Do you want to go back and see old content in MMOs?

@BeAware I do wonder whether it's too late now. The types of people who would want this were chased out of WoW a long time ago and have other homes now. I specifically remember writing about this problem during Wrath and being ridiculed endlessly by the players benefiting from the gatekeeping, all supported by the dev team. [-Bree]

@BeAware Yeah, I think it's the server classification - people on RP don't want to be shoved to a PvP or non-RP PvE server. A lot of them had apparently already been moved once, and they don't want to go to the new server and deal with toxicity they were explicitly avoiding. It's a looooong thread of complaints.

@BeAware They kinda do have this, though, with server clusters/connected realms. Even for Classic!

@BeAware Because it's hashtagged in the title as a joke, like #NoChanges :P Not really expecting it to be searched on. Social media just picks it up as a legit hashtag.
