TBC Classic

[Shawk]

I remember getting into beta after they did a stress test and if you got to highest level you were given access into the actual beta or something.

It was weird seeing the changes, the one big one I miss is UN-Instanced Battlegrounds. They were so much better, more like playing a Warcraft 3 match but you are just one of the players harvesting/gathering the things needed to make your units stronger. Lots of things like this changed in beta that made me lose interest before BC.

WoW originally in development was a totally different concept.. Where some players were "Hero" types and the rest were "Peon" "Soldier" types that were no where near as strong, mages transported people obv but it was more a crutch players depended on heavily for example, It was a weird mix of Lineage 2 and Everquest originally at least in early beta etc.

I remember watching tons of nda streams on winamp shoutcast and downloading vids from MIRC, now that I am thinking about it lol.
