Why do people want this?Comment by BethofHeartsOld Orgrimmar is literally the only thing I am interested in from ClassicComment by zOObieIt's SO ugly.
Why do people want this?Comment by KyuneiThis is my Warcraft. What is currently live is not my game anymore and hasn't been for a long time. I just hope that they don't try to go for the FULL classic experience and actually balance classes this time around maybe even add a few of the basic quality of life updates that made things more tolerable. AoE looting, two specs and maybe transmog. Nothing to break the experience. Just a few things that were requested hundreds if not thousands of times 14 years ago.

I can't wait to get back to a game that actually has a soul - even if its fabricated from a memory. To those already crying that its different, you will not be missed ;)Comment by AbracadabroI miss original Orgrimmar.Comment by tarcIt's SO ugly.
Why do people want this?Comment by DrahkenI don't understand the love for old Org. It's so desolate and ugly. I mean, I'm not a fan of Garry's dark metal and spikes, but everything else is so much prettier and more alive. There's water and plantlife and it's not so dusty and the Drag isn't so damn dark. And it's SO poorly laid out. It's such a chore to get around in. Like, to get to the flight master, you have to go to the top of the flight tower in the middle of the the Valley of Strength, but the entrance is in the upper area in the west, near the entrance to the Valley of Spirits. Now, in current Org, there's a convenient set of stairs to get up there. You know, like a city planner would build. But in old Org, you either have to enter a building, get dismounted, and climb a tower to get to that area, or go ALL THE WAY AROUND the city (from Strength, through the Drag, then either through Wisdom or down through the Cleft). And the Zeps are outside the city! It's like they had no idea how to lay out a city or something back then.
