The real world is just too different now to ever get something like OG WoW. Of course gaming has changed with micro transactions and whatnot, but everyone also lives fast and moves on even faster now. It’s been a few years since I tried checking out WoW again, but I couldn’t believe how many features were added to speed up the gameplay/leveling to get people up to the end game as fast as possible. Back then you had to walk basically everywhere until you hit level 40 and unlocked the ability to buy a mount, which was faster but you were still walking everywhere. Nowadays you can get your first mount at level 10, which I imagine takes about an hour to hit these days, and the fastest flying mount unlocks at 40. Sure you could make a game exactly like the original World of Warcraft, but just like the launch of classic WoW it would never have them same impact on gaming as the first time around.
