World of Warcraft Demo Tour & Comparison to 2005 - MMORPG.com
Blizzard announced earlier this week that Blizzcon Virtual Ticket holders could download the World of Warcraft Classic demo that will "only become available" once the convention begins next Friday. But that type of thing is usually seen as a challenge and someone took it up. YouTuber "dodgykebaab" managed to get into the demo without monsters or NPCs to make a comparison video between the "new" Classic and a 2005 version of World of Warcraft.

Not as easy as it sounds because of waiting on cool downs and avoiding the guards that detect stealth characters. Good fun tho!
moo all
Besides, it's Saturday and why not? LOL such a grumpy reaction to something fun.
@WalkinGlenn I kind of wondered if the "2005" version footage was taken from a private server that probably has all sorts of improvements.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have to question the viability of the footage, in recent blizz said that you would only have access to certain zones, Blasted lands was not part of that. Also the 2005 footage looks improved over what it should be. I would still like to know the source just to be sure.
That hardly anyone of the paying general mass cared to keep around... But i am glad that you now have your little slice of what ever purgatory you call heaven.
Personally... As a Druid... I never want to or will put my foot in classic...
This have been a good conversation
I had fun once, it was terrible.

I don't know how they could possibly screw this up, but believe you me they will find a way come hell or high water.
You can't compare Classic to a private server and call it 2005.
Even his character in the private server is lvl 255, WTF is this even doing here?
The 2005 private server client is literally the 2005 client as it was in 2005. Private servers don't modify client-side files (graphics).
To play on private servers you download the exact same client that was distributed then
The difference between current WoW(BfA, Legion etc..) and Classic is that you actually have stuff to do for way more than 2 months. Nothing was just given to you. 2 months in the game 85% of people will probably still have low level blue gear(not talking the sets).
Even if we exclude anything else just the PvP alone is more than enough to want to play Classic. True everyone was getting 1-2 shotted left and right, but it was more fun than what PvP is now.
I personally will be playing it for as long as there is classic and I'm pretty sure that from the millions of players that have played the game there are bound to be at least 20-50-100k players and that's more than enough for Classic to be bustling with groups and guilds.
Also I don't really get the point of trying to downplay it. The fact that there are private servers and from what I've seen people are willing to pay hefty sums to have someone level their chars is proof enough that there are plenty of people who want classic. You wouldn't have your current WoW experience changed. You will continue to get an expansion every 2 years with 1 month of worthwhile gameplay, so what's the issue?
