I can't believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.
Seems to be chugging along just fine, they really made a gold standard game. They are even smart enough to dip into the nostalgia crowd who liked the older versions better with the classic servers. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if it were still an actively developed game in 10 years

Don't give them that much credit. They just started providing a service (finally) that the private servers were providing. People were asking for vanilla servers from them even when BC was live.
Played since vanilla, took a break in the middle for a while, dragon flight hit the fun of Wow really well compared to the other recent expansions. I'll probably stick around for war within too. They learned a lot of lessons from the mess that was shadow lands.
