The expansions are dozen hour campaigns and are the game. I think a good litmus would be whether a title has a HowLongToBeat page, which this legacy collection of expansions has three.
While these require a base-game to play, expansions on MMO-style games are quasi-games unto themselves. It’s kinda difficult to explain, but the base game isn’t really actively updated and gets no new content while campaign gets added by these expacs. Expacs are what players of these games wait for beyond anything.

OK fair, well if people think it’s a proper game then happy to leave it up!
Is it worth playing casually on your own or is it one of those games where you need a group and to devote your life to it?
End-game is party-based raids, but it’s fine to go through casually for the campaign as a solo player.
