I play legion currently with an item level of 938, and I've been playing since I was five when wrath of the lich king came out. Hell, I have 6 wrath of the lich king collectors editions, 2 are unopened, and 2 are signed. My dad played WoW in vanilla often and was one of the top tier rouges at the time. I'm excited to experience vanilla as WoW has been one of the things that shaped me into who I am today. However, WoW classic also allows for others to go through ALL expansions, i.e. BC, Wrath, Cataclysm, Mists, and WoD.
