Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
What game first sparked your interest in gaming? Was it World of Warcraft?

My friendlist has 180 people on it. Probably a mix of 30 irl friends and 150 wow friends. 77 is currently online. Only 1 person is playing a battle.net game, and that is hearhstone. On better hours, I usually see 10 people in battle.net games, mostly cod or wow classic. Sometimes there will be 1 or 2 guys playing D3 or HS. I never see anyone playing retail.
Its honestly kinda sad looking at the battle.net friends list. I dont really look at it nowadays. It used to be so alive but pretty much everyone I know quit WoW.

Well, to be honest. I have 7 friends. Three of them play retail, where two are in opposite faction. Then I have one who is playing classic and two who are unsubscribed. Still, I have a guild where most of the people are active, and it's really enjoyable to be there.

1 or 2 people logged into shadowlands and 3 to 4 logged into TBC. The core people I've played with since Cata and Mop happen to be MIA.

After WoD I've only had 1-4 friends online now and then that I played with. Never managed to refill it back up to what I used to have pre-WoD.

Used to carry 10 to 20 on my list daily. Now it's zero. They all left. I see them on the cell phone app but not in game.

100% dead.
I was the one who held out the longest, but I've quit, too.
Then again I only put actual friends on there, not the random guy I ran an M+ with who wasn't completely terrible.

For WoW specifically? 1-2 people actually playing retail, 5-6 TBCC, friends list almost full. Out of all the people I've played with over the years, I've been the longest holdout in WoW than pretty much all of them as the 1-2 people still playing only started back in MoP. I had been building up M+ people in BfA and 9.0 in Shadowlands, but pretty much all of them have either stopped playing or quit the game despite being those who would push +18 and above keys. All my former retail raiding friends have either quit or play TBCC.
Highest activity I've seen is for the launch of patches, but the activity dies down pretty quickly.“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”

Sadly, totally empty - It started to empty out during BfA, and is now literally completely empty. I should point out that most of them are at a similar point in life - business people, kids, family etc so those could be factors for some, but for most, they simply stopped playing as they no longer enjoy the game. Sometimes I see 1 or 2 people log in for an hour, but it never lasts long at all.

This might blow your mind, but most people iI know have Bnet loaded but just dont play any Blizzard products - its not like Bnet tells you what non-Blizzard games the person is playing. Originally Posted by Asrialol

Which is fine. People stop playing certain games all the time. Originally Posted by Milfshaked

Anyway, anecdotal stuff is fun right.

Of my list with not even 30 people like 0-3 play wow in a regular basis. Sometimes 6, but 5 of them are my m+ group. Another 4 usually just log into the mobile client to chat.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

I think i did not add a single person to my friendliest in the last 10 years. There simply is no place/event that lets you meet new people. Originally Posted by Gimlix

I have around 20 active friends with the majority of them people I know IRL, I don't really meet people in game anymore to befriend. The majority either play Classic TBC or Hearthstone while a few others occasionaly play Overwatch. Surprisingly none of them play retail at all, even WC3:R sees more activity from my friend list.
