Don't underestimate how the 'meta' of a game can change even if the game itself would be static. A gaming community evolves, learns, adapts and discovers. The game's fans have been playing competitively on private servers that preserved/recreated the pre-expansion releases all this time. Stepping into 5-person PvE in this Classic release might be a very different from how it was 15 years ago, even though the game mechanics itself were meticulously designed to be just like the original.

I'm really excited to play Classic and I'm worried about this. Everyone talks about how difficult Vanilla was, but there was also substantially less well-organized information about min/maxxing, boss fights, strategies, etc. The info existed, but it was messy, scattered, and a lot of folks didn't even know it existed. In 2019 WoW-focused YouTube channels and Twitch streams are a dime a dozen, there are quite a few sites focused on min/maxxing, and we've also got past experiences to make Classic substantially easier/smoother than Vanilla was. But like I said, I'm worried about that. So I'm trying to avoid as much info about Classic as I can. I pre-registered my character based off of my first main character in WoW, rather than what's raid-viable. I aim to avoid guides and stay the hell away from easy-mode addons (Quest Helper, DBM, etc.). I want to recapture as much of my original experience as I can.
