They really are a good idea. Of course, I'd go a slightly different direction with it, but yes, there will always be those who want that nostalgia kick. Pete, great article, and I share your apparent ambivalence. I'm excited that they are having the guts to move the world forward, and I mourn that I never got to all the places in the old world that I wanted to. If I could get this Map Viewer to work, I'd keep my current installation of the game in one folder, and then maybe, just maybe, check out Cataclysm in a different installation. :) Rog, I think this will pull the demand for classic servers out of the woodwork.

Blizzard could be even more brilliant and after Cataclysm is out for awhile, they could launch "classic" servers too.

It wouldn't be revisiting anything special (my time in WoW was one of the worst I think I have personally ever spent in an MMO), but I might like to say that I remember the original, without having to fake it :D “I might re-visit WoW *before* Cataclysm (like, a week before), just to take one last stroll through the old zones”
