Blizzard is set to launch a "classic" server next year.
It's sort of based on patch 1.12 and uses the current game engine. Honestly, I'm interested even though I haven't played WoW for a few years at this point.
Thoughts?
(Arcane, I promise I won't bail on the guild again ...)

HAHAHA yeah right... like I trust you after the first time!!!
Anyway the wife wants me to give it a try. I'm not sure I want to go back to WoW again but if you're interested I might just jump in.
On a slightly different topic... Star Citizen? Have you seen any of the 3.3.5 gameplay?

Perhaps that is why there are so many Old Men with Arcane knowledge and so few young ones...

I resubbed a few days ago ... after more than 3 years away. I hardly remember how to play and the changes make that an uphill battle. I quit mostly because I didn’t like those changes - talent trees and class homogeneity at the top of the list. When classic was announced it seemed like a return to something I enjoyed. Let me know if you come back. My main Alliance toons are on Feathermoon and my main Horde ones are on Suramar. I have a few other toons on a couple of other servers that I haven't played much.
As for Star Citizen, I haven’t done anything on that for ages. I can’t figure out how to do anything. I can’t even enter my ship in the hangar. The control situation has me spooked as well - lingering reaction to MWO. I hate KBM! I know there are options, but I haven’t gotten around to trying them.

Star Citizen control situation - Check out the two links below as HOTAS and Dual Joystick are some of the best ways to fly:

The current game is VERY different from the original.
Blizzard has plans to bring back the old game, I imagine, on new servers. Everybody would be pretty much starting at the beginning. I doubt existing characters would be transferable.
I'm definitely going to give it a try when it's out. My guess is either next summer or, maybe even more likely, next November (since it'll coincide with the game's 15th anniversary).
Stay tuned ...
What's people's preferrence? Alliance or Horde?

It's rumored to release this summer.
It wouldn't surprise me if it were closer to November (to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the original) - particularly if they have some delays.

I made a Tauren shaman and started up.
First thing, if you’ve played WoW recently, you’ll be surprised at how much has changed over the years. Classic is very faithful to the original.
I love the old talent trees. I especially love how I have to actually think about what I’m doing and make choices. Another thing is that the Classic beta seems has gotten back the community feel that the current game seems to have lost.
I’m on a PvP server, but I just hit level 10 and haven’t gotten out into the more dangerous parts of the world, so nothing to report there yet. I’m looking forward to some Tarren Mill/South Shore chaos though.
I should be able to get my first taste of Barrens chat tomorrow.

The journey continues...
My shaman now sits at level 13 and is questing in the Barrens. Barrens chat is alive and, err ... well.
As I'm encountering things that seem odd I'm not sure if they're bugs or just poor memory. For example, sometimes when I kill something it drops no loot at all. I don't remember that from before but, the low drop rates of quest items is definitely authentic. Another one - I've had a few cases of "failed" when I try to skin something or pick a flower, but this morning I had a "failed" 3 times before it worked. I don't remember that happening even twice. I'm not sure if that's a bug, poor memory or just RNG gods having some fun with me.
I've made a second toon - a druid and taking him through the starter zone (Mulgore) quests.
The shaman still hasn't been involved in any PvP, but I did see a noob elf hunter yesterday running by Crossroads on the way to Ratchett. It's level showed as ??, so I decided not to volunteer to be bitch slapped.
I hope to get one of my toons into a dungeon this weekend - probably Ragefire Chasm.
Having a blast with this!

More from (mostly) Kalimdor ...
The shaman is now up to level 23. He's done 2 dungeons (both times as dps with some off healing) and some PvP via Warsong Gulch battleground. I have had him to some contested territory, but mostly in areas that the alliance don't often go, so no open world PvP yet.
The druid is now up to level 15. He's done Ragefire Chasm as a tank. In fact, I've gotten a few whispers to join other dungeon groups.
I've added an undead warlock (level 5) that I plan to use as a bank alt. He has tailoring and enchanting, so he'll DE unused items and hopefully make some bags (more on that later).
Over the weekend I made a troll hunter (level 8). Playing a hunter without a pet sucks. You don't get that until level 10.
Things I've forgotten. Bag space is one of the most valuable things you can have. Your original backpack and the meager 6 slot bags (if you lucky with drops) fill up really quick. This is especially important to skinners, but it's something you have to manage.
On the gold making side of things, it definitely is the case that 2 gathering professions are best - particularly skinning (since there's often free materials just lying there for the taking). The current level cap is 30, so a mount isn't in the cards yet, but once that's lifted I'll let you know how the gold situation goes.
I'm still enjoying my time with the old game - much more so than the current iteration (which I haven't played at all since the beta invite).

The shaman is level 30, the Druid is level 20 and I’m running a priest now (level 17 currently). The level cap has been raised to 40 and I’m seeing a fair number of people with mounts. Lower level content areas are starting to look a little lonely. I queued for a 10-19 WSG that never popped and chat messages looking for lower level dungeons is getting more quiet.
PvP wise I’ve been ganked twice but haven’t returned the favor yet.
At the present, I’m leaning toward a Druid or priest as a main.
I’m still enjoying the ride.

I signed up for the beta but haven't received any notice... I'll likely do a priest something... or a Huntard. If we play Alliance I'll do a pally.

The other thing you have to do is opt in to BOTH World of Warcraft and Warcraft under beta preferences on your account.
If you do get an invite, I'm on the PvP server.
Characters:
Enyetu
Dunbarnernaj
Ahanki
Fartkillero
Mothy
(note: I chose all my names at random!)

I'll check it out Aged. I have a current sub AND I thought I checked both beta boxes... I might have missed Warcraft though.
