World of Warcraft has changed so much over the past 13 years with six expansions and countless updates and world-changing events, some people just want to go back and play the original (a.k.a. vanilla) version of the game.

Blizzard revealed that it's working on creating official vanilla servers called World of Warcraft Classic, which will give players the chance to explore the original world of Azeroth before Burning Crusade invaded in 2006 and Cataclysm revamped everything in 2010.

Blizzard did not reveal a release date for World of Warcraft Classic, only sharing that they're working on making it a reality.
