The /follow wow thing didn't really affect me at all. I never really liked pvp of any kind, especially bg's.
I had stopped boxing wow about a month before that hit. Started Lotro again and that was sucking all my time. Just started boxing that again. Very frustrating that one is.
Might go back to SWTOR since the new expansion looks kind of cool.

Anyway I too noticed noticed the drop in posts. Figured maybe it was because of tax time here in the USA.
