People won't just bounce back off vanilla WoW, some will, sure, but I predict a minimum of 500,000 active players for these servers. Heck, there's private servers that have had over 100k (Nostalrius had almost 1 million accounts?), and those servers required torrenting old WoW clients and accepting your character could be wiped at any moment. It's gonna be a nice revenue stream for Blizzard!
The quality of life improvements are going to be missing, arguably the one that people will miss the most is dual talent spec. Everything else is kind of whatever and I can't think of anything I will miss tbh.
Graphically the old client looks nice at modern resolutions since it supports widescreen and seems to have no resolution limits with lots of anti-aliasing options. WoW just has an art style that aged well. It's impressive as the bulk of vanilla WoW was created in 2003!
I'll be playing as soon as they go up and I'll probably buy a six month game card if that works out cheaper than the monthly sub.
