Logging back to Westfall, wow classic gold was able to stumble round the enemies we needed to slay, and recalled in which direction the Defias Brotherhood could be discovered. This was when we entered combat with our Night Elf Hunter (and convenient pet boar) it became clear jarring an experience this could possibly be for modern players used to the quality upgrades WoW has seen over the past 14 or so years.

These days, players running around the exact same area can band together readily to rack up the kills to complete their quests, however in Classic, in case you're not in a party and you're not the first person to deal damage to an enemy, you are out of luck. You receive no credit for your kill - and no loot when the enemy is felled. It was a frustrating few minutes trying to find the first hit on a bandit surrounded by heaps of others hoping to do the same, but we eventually joined forces and revved up with a Gnome mage, and that which became smoother.

light's hope gold was a key moment that stood to highlight the camaraderie of an MMORPG, that'massively multiplayer' aspect of WoW that critics said was lost amongst all of the updates. We chatted to others we'd picked up in our celebration about what they thought of this demonstration, and roughly BlizzCon generally, and remembered the friends we had made questing in circumstances that were almost identical those years back. Yes we battled against the mechanics of the game, but we tackled it.
