WoW nostalgia: Images from the Vanilla development

WoW nostalgia: Images from the Vanilla development
Wie WoW in seinen Anfängen aussah

Dave Wilson, an employee of Blizzard, recently posted a lot of screenshots from the early days of “World of Warcraft” on his Twitter account. Many images have never been seen before and show the game in several very early stages. An exciting journey through time that could bring a nostalgic tear to many!

It started as a mod for Warcraft III

It’s not surprising that after the great success of “Warcraft III”, the first plans for the MMO using the RTS classic’s engine were made. However, the result is quite amusing and very far from today’s Azeroth.

One can clearly see the parallels to Warcraft III units.

Other secrets have also been revealed: For a long time, the internet has been buzzing with the rumor that female trolls were originally supposed to be just a “chubbier” version of the males – this now seems less far-fetched when looking at the first models of the female axe throwers.
