8 Reasons You Should Be Playing World Of Warcraft Classic

Given that it's been well over a decade since World of Warcraft dominated online gaming, much of its original playerbase have long since outgrown any childish behavior.

While retail's bells and whistles might appeal to a younger crowd, Classic's gameplay requires a more patient sort, and this is most noticeable in its community.

The idea of playing online is often plagued by images of delinquent, troll-like behaviours of other players, but the only trolls you're likely to find in Classic are the tusked kind. Instead, Classic is filled with experienced, helpful players that (for the most part, at least) are always willing to help each other out.

Many of WoW's most dedicated players jumped at the chance to recapture the magic of the original game, and as a result, Classic has an impressive number of players, each seemingly a wealth of inside information and helpful tips. It might seem strange to members of other online communities, but going out of your way to lend a hand to a new player is practically the norm in Classic WoW.
