What killed it for me was the expansions kind of killed the experience. That's not to say the expansions weren't incredible, because they were. The problem was that not everyone bought them, and it thus fragmented the community to the point where only a few people actually had the latest content. What was the point of spending $8 if no server was going to run it?

I think a lot of that could have been fixed if they had the official servers always running the latest expansion, and keeping those lagging behind stuck to the personal servers being run by random people online. Sure, it would have seemed a bit underhanded to force everyone to upgrade, but it would have at least forced a basic standard rather than making it feel like I just wasted my (admittedly little) money.

I bought every expansion save the last one, the one with jet packs. All the new content was great, but no one was really using it. Kind of frustrating.
