Good game , definitely 0 respect for the players, I've been playing on and of from 2012, till one day i woke up with my account banned for no reason, ive tried to speak with them about that ,but i ended up nowhere.

When I discovered this game my life changed completely, I fell in love with Azeroth, its forests, its music, the people I spent time playing this game with, it is simply something indelible and I can hardly experience it with any game other than this one, World of Warcraft is not a game, it is an interactive experience that immerses you far beyond the cliché of modern gaming, it is an alternate life where adventures never end and your companions are always with you, one of the best games in history if not the best

Retrospective Review: It’s hard to write about a game where everything that could be said, has been said. But, it’s still hard to understate how revolutionary this game was at the time. As someone who played in the beta and all the way through the release, it was something special. Everything not only felt new, it felt good. If you go back and try some older MMOs back in this time period, they hadn’t figured it out, at all. They all felt so stiff and lifeless to a degree. The world, the locations, the characters, the creatures, the players, the dungeons, the raids, everything here looked so good and felt like a proper video game that didn’t get held back by the MMO tag like its predecessors. The main 2 things that separated this from other MMO’s at the time was how good it felt to play and the world you played in and the secrets it held. That last one is really key. It’s hard to imagine nowadays, but we did not have the internet resources like we did then for WoW. While we did have websites like “Thottbot” that helped out on quests and items, it was not as expansive or explanatory as things are today, not by a longshot. There was mystery, there was discovery. Something almost no games have now unless it was just released and even then there are guides and video aplenty after a week on every aspect of those games. Not here. You were just in this world discovering everything along with other players.Builds for instance, they were not set. You could come up with your own. It could be good or not so good, it was hard to tell as damage meters were not a thing yet, you had to go by feel. There were no websites telling you “This is the best DPS spec, do this.” Sure people were discussing that online, but new builds were discovered all the time and breakthroughs in what rotations to use or best armor were not set in stone. Playing as a warrior, I remember PvPing with a fellow warrior that was just destroying everything. I checked out his gear, as it looked odd (not plate) and saw he was mainly using leather pieces, something no one else was doing at the time. But, the leather pieces all had crit on them and with 2-handed warrior Arms build, this guy was just criting players to bits and that slowly became the meta for warriors. Armor was also something special in a different way and that was the look. The armor sets in original WoW looked so good and since there was no transmog, you knew exactly what another player had one, just by looking at them. It was the ultimate status symbol. You felt the presence of a massive Tauren warrior in Tier 2 gear while you were running around in dungeon rare equipment. The look was all super unique and once you got a piece you have been waiting for, you really got stoked for it, which is a feeling long gone from the game it is today. It’s fun to reminisce about original WoW, but it’s also kind of a bummer that the world will probably never see a game or experience anything quite like it ever again, largely thanks to the internet. Guides, tier lists, etc have really taken the mystery and discovery away from a lot of players and while you don’t necessarily have to use those things, you feel like you are behind or hurting yourself if you do not a lot of the time. Vanilla WoW servers try to recreate the magic, but it does not feel close to being the same and will probably never be recreated ever again.
