I was one of the last ~50 active players on War of the Roses when they shut down the backend. I had a bit over 1000 hours almost entirely in 1v1 dueling servers. Everyone knew everyone else. Tons of tribal knowledge about weird mechanics and glitches, blood feuds, and just generally interesting emergent gameplay within this tiny little niche. Since they shut it down I’ve been through college, grad school, a couple jobs, moved across the country, etc. and I still miss it. I really wish we’d been given this consideration.

There’s a Reddit post too on the game subreddit about some people getting something going on the weekends.
Cheers mate.
