Comment by SovereigneJust to point out to the writer of this post (not sure if it's of interest to them or not) but the line, "In order to help them better situate themselves in a world of Azeroth fighting together against the Burning Legion" sounds out of place, with the current content and direction of the upcoming xpac. Just a little note, that's all. Can be interpreted as a 'currently fighting the Burning Legion' approach rather than where we currently are at, which is having already defeated the Burning Legion.

I may have interpreted that wrong myself though.Comment by perculiaJust to point out to the writer of this post (not sure if it's of interest to them or not) but the line, "In order to help them better situate themselves in a world of Azeroth fighting together against the Burning Legion" sounds out of place, with where the current content and direction of the upcoming xpac.

Welcome to the Hotel California....Comment by g90814"fighting together against the Burning Legion"... again... but we beat them permanently this time!Comment by LordSotheWith Battle for Azeroth looming around the corner, there are many old players that get motivated to play World of Warcraft again

Are there though? Are there really?

I mean, I'm sure we'll get the usual new expac cyclical returns, but I can't imagine there's many people who quit in vanilla who are suddenly going to come back now.Comment by Swordart21Pretty sure these vanilla guys know everything about it.Comment by perculiaWith Battle for Azeroth looming around the corner, there are many old players that get motivated to play World of Warcraft again

I know a few people that really want to come back and quit around burning crusade. This would be most helpful!Comment by PhilosophercatWith Battle for Azeroth looming around the corner, there are many old players that get motivated to play World of Warcraft again

OG LK: Ner'zhul, from Shadowmoon Valley, Draenor

2nd LK: Arthas, from Capital City, Lordaeron

3rd LK: Bolvar, from somewhere in Stormwind

Even the twisted soul of Ner'zhul caged in a giant suit of armor was forged somewhere in the twisting nether, then sent through a portal to Northrend.Comment by MaasteryMake an option for old animations :(Comment by kulakaiI've got a guildie who just returned to WoW after playing in Classic. He had quit the game when his son was born. And now he came back to the game because his son is playing.Comment by GwynnethWhat a wonderful guide! This will help so many people who want to come back, or have just resubbed, but are feeling pretty lost and overwhelmed with all the changes (there have been many!). Well done!Comment by SmabreGreat idea here. I look forward to reading these even though I’ve never left. Should have a bunch of good stuff to read for everyone.Comment by vegeta0585People who played vanilla are going to have no issues. The game holds your hand with catch up mechanics and no threat combat. If they played vanilla they'll be fine.Comment by westomoprestoWas this article sponsored/inspired by Blizzard?
I mean not to be rude, but how many people are still returning from Vanilla? And as other posters have mentioned, I'd wage the few returning Vanilla players will be fine.Comment by perculiaWas this article sponsored/inspired by Blizzard?
