Due to popular demand Blizzard has brought a new version of World of Warcraft online that closely resembles the original version: WoW Classic. Some players already have access, and the rest of the world can go queue.

    You'll have to wait in line. In game.

    At least the requirements [systemrequirementslab.com] are reasonable.

    I have a WOTLK server on my wife's old laptop. And a classic server with the game client fits on a single DVD-ROM. Classic is a real bear, though. I expect they have introduced a lot of QoL updates. There are no map icons or directions for questing. Character progression is very slow compared to modern WoW.

      They are sandbagging to help prove that you don't want that [youtube.com].

      I started playing last night. They didn't. And despite the screams of "you don't actually want that," from certain quarters... I did. And apparently, a lot of other people did too. The servers were packed.
