I started playing WoW back when you could download the incomplete alpha version off (one of those torrent sites), so im pretty familiar with Molten Core and the 40 man ganking etc. Great times. I was there for all of it. Me and my roommate would spend countless hours PvPing outside of Winterspring, or ganking lowbies in Ashenvale, before BG's became a thing.

But now...meh. I don't know. A little nostalgia came back while writing this post, and Blizz did send me 3 free days of WoW. We'll see. But im not particularly excited about Classic WoW making a return. The thing about nostalgia is that it wears off pretty fast. I don't think you can recapture the magic of what made Classic WoW so awesome at the time. There was never really anything like that before (Sure, Everquest, but fart sounds). Now, every game is an Online MMO of sorts. Every game is huge and expansive, and that curisosity for exploring this new uncharted open world is gone.
I actually got more hyped for it after I played BFA for a couple months and seeing just how aids it was to grind out the azerite to unlock the skills on the helms/shoulders/chests only to have the next tier come out and getting the same item but now its 10 or w/e it was ilvls higher and now you dont have enough azerite to unlock the same exact skills from the old item.

But the more and more that it sinks in I just dont know if I will bother. When vanilla was winding down about the only thing I was doing was wall walking into zones that weren't finished like Caverns of Time and Hyjal and other random spots like getting under AQ.
