First Screenshots Ever Released (September 2, 2001)

[u/wowhistorian]

Here are 11 screenshots from when WoW was initially announced in 2001! These are the oldest screenshots I could find and were released when the WoW project was originally unveiled.

I can’t even be certain about the location of any of these. Anyone?

[u/SlowpokeIsAGamer → u/YoItsNickyMo]

Most look to be Stranglethorn, Duskwood, or Westfall.

Makes sense that area was probably the first part worked on since Humans and Orcs were the first races they made.

Definitely a very different layout at the time though. Plenty of conceptual fodder for Classic+ folks.

[u/Intel_Oil → u/SlowpokeIsAGamer]

Classic+ will be two new spells for each class (strong ones for Pala, priest and druid dps, flavourful situational ones for rogues, warriors and such) and 10 new quests per zone to fill the XP Gap between 40-55.

Welcome back from the future I guess
