8 Reasons You Should Be Playing World Of Warcraft Classic

With the success that remakes, reboots and remasters have had in recent years, Blizzard knew that relaunching the Classic servers would be a gold mine, but even they had underestimated just how much players wanted to relive those golden years.

Classic is World of Warcraft as it was at its 2006 peak, and its launch brought back many of WoW's oldest and most loyal players.

In its unaltered form, Classic is akin to a digital time capsule; everything contained within is pristine and unaltered, even down to the subtlest nuances of gameplay.

Many World of Warcraft fans have stuck with the game through thick and thin, but since the release of Classic, the most hardcore contingent are no longer interested in the game's "main" retail counterpart.

As much as the added content and sleeker visuals are appealing, they simply don't give off the same aura of sheer nostalgia that Classic WoW does.

It's a heady and comforting aroma, and it's one fresh from a much simpler time. Whether you played World of Warcraft way back when, or regret never having the chance, diving into Classic WoW has never been more appealing.
