New World of Warcraft fan server recreates The Burning Crusade

Did you play The Burning Crusade when the World fo Warcraft expansion launched back in January 2007? I did. I remember the queues, the slow grind to level 70 and the soul-destroying progression. But I also remember the first time I walked through the Dark Portal to Outland. It was a wondrous moment and it looked a bit like this.
                                                 

Development has gone on for some time as the people behind the project worked to get their private server up to Blizzard's retail standards. The video, below, from developer "Gummy", goes into great detail on the work done to make Felmyst as accurate a representation of The Burning Crusade as possible. This involved everything from painstakingly recreating environments to tweaking AI behaviour and boss battles.

Development took immense amounts of work, as Dev “Gummy” details in the video how accurately the Felmyst server plans to recreate the Vanilla and TBC WoW experience. Tending to the environment, AI behavior as well as boss fights, the people behind this project have worked  diligently to make their private server up to “retail standards”

Surely vanilla players remember logging in and going through the Dark Portal and seeing this–then on to that slow grind to level 70 back in January 2007 when TBC launched.

There is a high demand for WoW to be played as it was a decade ago, but sadly, Blizzard has refused to add Legacy servers, for reasons unknown. Blizzards lawyers will most likely be on this too as they shut down Nostalrius in 2016 so let’s hope this one stays for Vanilla fans!
