WoW beta: how it was some time ago

[soroonic]

Surfing around I found the 2001 ECTS Gameplay Preview of the game: many things changed meanwhile, still some places are exactly the same ;D

This is, a video from the Leaked alpha back in 2003 featuring many testing and unfinished zones such as Winterspring, Hjyal and a quick preview of the capital cities.

Last video is all for Old Ironforge: a completely different city which got changed cause of its original complexity. I have to say it was a breath-taking city back then Oo the actual one is just a shade of what it was.

And as a side note... if that Ironforge was too much complex, I really wonder what designers were thinking when they created Shattrath: that place is hell, it will take months before I'm going to learn where the NPCs are ;D

Firs movie.. What is up with that UI they used

Leaked 2003 that If is so much better. Have seen it before and I just loved it so much as in the last video.

Shattrath is not that hard really but could have been so much better..

Memories of those movies.

IF alpha looks a bit like UC, cool imo.

The old talents are really cool. I also saw some warrior talents somewhere wich had 35 talents in one tree and the last talent required you had 2 other talents to get it...
Really really cool.
