I returned to BB last year after a break maybe after season 8-9 so I probably missed golden era of this game.
However, after such large gap, I don't feel like this game at least in my country is much different (more dead or more alive) from what I remembered.
Biggest pleasant surprise for me was seeing some names from way before.
With me being in early high school during my first time here, I find this way more interesting now, since I can research stuff, track META etc. Nostalgy playing big part in this, not gonna lie. I hope this game won't end in foreseeable future
