WoW Classic is a game that literally cannot be played ever again. Like, literally-literally. Before the classic servers came out a prior expansion (Cataclysm) redid the entire original world. Everything got changed and remade and that's not to mention the changes to core systems. If you go to Westfall now, not only is not the same Westfall that was in classic, but the game plays fundamentally different from how it was back then. Even if you hunted down the original WoW disks and installed from there, you'd still need to log online to actually play WoW and doing so would plop you in the modern version.

For a lot of people (especially old-timers) there's nostalgia behind it, but there's also history and the opportunity to play a game that's... basically entirely different... from what is there currently.

I mean even if Cata never happened, you can't play Classic like you used to. Overtime they have changed the leveling experience greatly. Just because Westfall would still look like Westfall assuming we remove the Cata expansion from existence doesn't mean you are playing Classic on retail.
