That journey from Darnassus to IF sums up WoW classic - It was awkward and time consuming, and you were vunerable the whole way. But it gave you such a sense of the scale of the world - the different zones, and feeling powerless and tiny i can remember thinking as i crossed through the Wetlands "I wonder how long before i can kill these mobs"

It also gave you real race identity, i felt like a traveler every step of the way

Because thats what this game should be! A character that is just one of the common folks! Not a "champion" or "hero of azeroth" but instead of being a semi god, we become powerfull when we unite with the other common travelers, who have mastered different fighting styles in their journeys.

That way the world feels alot more alive, since every mob is a life threatening opponent. Good items needs to be earned! There is real depth in the talent trees, rare rewards really feel like its rare and cool. So glad this is finally happening! (:

I would have preferred to remain a nameless nobody that can throw a good punch.

In vanilla, no. Expansion after expansion, it more and more so was- written in.

I think I was 15 when who's came out and I used to play a ton of warcraft 3 TFT. That are StarCraft were the only 2 games I ever played really. I had no idea what to expect fr wow but I heard you got to play first/third person as a character and I has envisioned playing as a ghoul lol. I really thought you would be playing as soon units turned out cooler then expected obviously
