A lot of folks gave up after being login bugged continually. I was one of em. So I was just waiting for a new version to come out, or all the bugs fixed. I prefered the new version idea tho.
Plus you can expect a lot of non-pvp, legit options coming out soon for those who don't like GW due to PvP. Unfortunately, options were very limited a few months back. GW was about the only persistent server with somewhat legit rules.
Some creative folks out there are coming out with tons of new server ideas too.
