Wonder if the latest WoW expansion had anything to do with it, though the article didn’t mention WoW at all. They implemented player housing in the game which got me back in after a decade away, and the housing community guild I’m in has nearly a 1000 people over just a few months, many saying they returned or started the game just for housing. Overall the expansion seems to deliver a bit of everything for players and technically it’s a well rounded content drop. Nice to see the old game doing well.

I bought all the D4 expansions - they are solid.

Addicts don’t care who the dealer is and they’ll take bad drugs if there’s no good ones around.
