I perma-quit WoW after 19 years (did a privacy deletion of my entire account), but I would no joke spin-up a local server for my family to play "offline".
Not exactly what you said since it's still quite active, but still.
That was actually my exact thought - I used to love wow but I absolutely hated most of the people who played. They ruined the game for me, and I was -dedicated- (not 19 years but 6, from vanilla through second expac, raid leader, raid MH, guild second, had an alt with its own guild and all tabs bought for a personal bank, etc.)
With something like wow I’d actually be willing to buy the server spinner if the official servers are still active (since game is subscription based they aren’t going to drop it free), just to have the option to play with people I like and nobody else. Doesn’t even have to be people I know, I’d be happy to find people in forums/communities/etc. to play with, just a limited group with a barrier of some sort for entry. Oh and the ability to ban.
I miss the social aspect of that sort of game, but I just dislike the general public too much to be willing to play any of them at this point.
