Found this on the official forums, don't know if you've all seen it or not. Pretty cool to see how far WoW has come.

Woah, 4 trinkets
it looks like a shitty asian grind game
Interesting..Glad it didn't end up looking this bad..but some things actually look interesting.
Very interesting, if real.
is real.
Somehow, the running in this video appears to be a lot faster (and a bit more natural since you hear your gear rattling when you make a step).
Awesome to watch and compare things :v:
I prefer old WoW (video and pics), though with alot more different icons for weapons and whatnot.
They were definitely taking hints from other MMO's at the time.

protip that's already in the game, you hear different sounds when you walk with leather, mail etc

This was [i]before[/i] shitty asian grind games.
yeah. 2001.
The UI is horrible D:
Looks pretty horrible. It seems like it was running on a whole different engine and stuff.
it was 2001 what do you expect
Ah I played that version... It was pretty awesome to be honest... Because alliance / horde could capture bases and set up camps, like a guild could set up a camp with their guild-graveyard, and tents to sleep in that works like inns, was pretty awesome but got removed because blizzard couldn't fix up all the exploits and bugs..

There was also WAY MORE interactions with npc's, pretty often you could see a bunch of footmans / grunts attacking cities / camps, they couldn't "win" the territory but the fights were pretty awesome
I think this is Lovely!

There should be a seperate version for this, available after you've purchased at least 2 months of gametime, and after that always playable.
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing these WAY back when I was loosely following the development of WoW. I'm sure at the time I was :gizz:
Haha, this brings back some memories from when I was following WoW in like 2002.

Is it not?

Comparing WoW to the "proper" grind games and you'll see that WoW has very little grinding.
But you play WAR and so therefore nothing I can say or do will ever change you from your blind WoW hating, so please go back to your dieing game that was meant to be a "WoW killer".
The engine looks exactly the same, this is probably build 1 and the current version is build 2
elwynn looks pretty nice in that one screen

so it WAS like that.
they let people play in 2001?
the death animations for the mobs looked a bit smoother

looks like a realm crafter game. it's like they dumped that whole team and started with a new one.
There was a leak of one of those earlier builds with the base building. I sort of remember that UI but those screenshots are much older. Base building was loads of fun. This was before I knew what WOW was, someone just linked me to it and I tried it out. I never got to actually play with NPCs and other players tho, it was like a really shitty emulator.
So bad.
When blizzard cared about lore

TBH it's a lot better then WoW, if only they could make PvE better and more worthwhile it'd be better than WoW in every aspect.
Wow, that looked like a good game.
