I played the game until burning crusade. Married even then with less children so I had the time.

Anyways personal life and only being able to spend a couple hours at best a day won't get you much in an MMO like that.

It was a solid game when I stopped playing. No clue if it holds true today. It's partly true that friends make the game. Doesn't matter which genre it is imo.
