Wow, that's a long while gone! Well, in that case, I'd say everything
you once knew has changed, basically everything lol. Outland and
Northrend are the only zones which are much the same, and they go a
lot faster as levelling was sped up.

1-60 was completely revamped with the Cataclysm expansion, you may
find it worthwhile to roll an alt or two, see the new storyline and
get used to everything else that's changed, stats, talents, specs, are
all very different to before, you autolearn spells instead of having
to goto the trainer for them (and ranks are gone; they improve in
power with every level, automatically), playing in general has changed
quite a bit. And I'm afraid your old addons are probably dead years
ago, unless they happened to be very popular ones - with every
expansion I have to go hunting for alternatives to abandoned ones.
But, Blizzard have added functionality from a lot of the better ones
into the default interface, so you may find it works better without
addons now.

But don't be too scared off by the changes; it's a bit overwhelming at
first, but I think the game is still very fun. if anything it's more
fun than ever before if you're a more casual player who prefers to do
stuff solo instead of organised guild groups for everything; I have
tons to do at endgame now, which is a big improvement on past days,
even if I still have nostalgia for Karazhan :-)
