This was where World of Warcraft hit its peak. In terms of playability and feeling like an RPG, this was the best WOW ever got. It's also the best story told in World of Warcraft, though that could just be because I am a simp for Arthas. Cataclysm would come out in 2010 and do arguably permanent damage to the game, so it's a good thing that WOW Classic is currently keeping this version of the game alive in some capacity.
