Microsoft still support AoE2 after all these years, while Activision more or less fucked the SC2 proscene so hard it's amazing it's still going as strong as it is.

Not to mention what they did to the classic WotLK launch. It couldn't get any worse than that.

What happened in the classic wotlk launch? I haven't played since the original wotlk so it's been awhile haha

The servers were essentially 95-99% of either faction, and they locked migration several times seemingly on random. A lot of people got stuck on servers that were nigh unplayable because of the other faction dominating everything.

It even included paid server transfers on some servers for some weird reason. I got hardlocked on 98% alliance server while playing a tauren resto druid. Their customer service told me to "level another character on a server of my choosing". Leveled to 80 out of sheer spite and then quit when my game time ran out.

Truly one of the biggest disappointments in my entire life. I know it's just a game, but I had looked forward to getting to redo wrath since they first announced classic in general, and they completely ruined it.

Damn! That sounds horrible, I remember when WoW's customer service was seemingly top notch, how far they have fallen. I guess it's not surprising with how disappointing Diablo 4 was.
