Yeah, my first thought was also "server." Of the three I play on, I've meet nicer people on two of them more consistently; the third tends to be a balance between mature and immature players. However, I also know that in years past, there was more of a community feeling, regardless of server. These days it's all about hitting 80 as fast as possible, and maxing gear score. The LFD has had a bad side effect too IMO, making people even more impatient.
Some people may not have responded for fear that you were clearing out someone else's account. I've heard about that happening, an angry ex wreaking havoc with another account, stuff like that. Or maybe a couple people were just afraid you were a hacker :shrug: Lotta paranoia floating around these days.
A while back I remember someone going to a starting area and announcing in General that they were leaving, and giving away all their gold and items. They turned it into a minigame, and said the first person under level 20 to find them would get a prize. When they were found, they'd hide somewhere else. I thought that was a fun and clever way to do it
I installed WotLK yesterday!

I've yet to explore it fully, but been really impressed so far :thumbsup:
