There's always been private servers I think, I've never been
interested, as I tend to think Blizz won't tolerate the more current
ones that well. But the idea of trying vanilla WoW again grew on me,
and in the end I couldn't resist it, it's such a change in pace from
the current game :-)

Enjoying it so far, a few inconsistencies, but overall it's mostly how
I remember. Totally different to the game now, it's way slower and way
harder to level, much more fun than just whizzing past everything  in
a race to get to endgame boredom as fast as possible. I've always
loved the journey, so this is fun, also nice to see the zones as they
were before the Cataclysm reshaped tham. 

Gotta say I'm surprised how few quests some zones have; because it's
so much faster now I'd thought that there must have been as many if
not more quests then than there are now, but some zones are very
sparse indeed, I have to keep checking external websites to make sure
I've not missed a chain. Also hadn't realised how many of the UI
things I consider standard now weren't actually in the game back then,
things like: autoloot, questgivers appearing on the minimap, being
able to see the health of mobs as a number not just a %, seeing enemy
cast bars... a lot has changed in 10 years, some of it definitely for
the better :-)
