Perhaps subconsciously you quit playing because the game got stale.
How people played up until a few years ago baffles me. Were you actually playing with other people, or just boxed/mercs?

I would raid Sunday/Monday and then solo/box old raid content or level Alts during the other hours. I also ran open raids on Saturdays for the entire server to come to.
Being a Druid, charm killing remained the best leveling strategy up til 95. At 96/97, "Quint" kiting (Quadding but our new 91/92 and 96/97 AEs included 5 targets instead of 4) became better/faster exp. So I was able to get to the new level caps or new AAs via soloing (I abhor grind groups that are single pull, bullshit boring groups. Pull 10+ and let me root CC or don't invite me.)
During new expansions when there was progression/flagging to be done, typically we would do that with 4-6 real people and fill in with boxes / mercs as necessary. After everyone got flagged for raiding or the final tier of group zones those groups died off.
Really, beyond the first month or so of the expansions, you could complete all the progression you needed without much play time. It would take awhile if you were going for achievements. But as a raider you really just needed some progression, 4-5 group Augments and that's it. It was very casual. The Alts are what took forever to gear up in group gear though.
