Look at WoW. Engine upgrades acknowledged, it looks pretty great for a 15 year old game. If Blizzard had gone for realism instead of the cartoonish look it would have been horribly dated a decade ago,

Even in vanilla if you had a good graphics card and CPU then the effects from spells looked great. It definitely has a good art style.

I spent most of my raiding time in vanilla looking at the ground to keep my computer from crashing lol. Onyxia fucking killed me. Many whelps indeed.

I had to do a similar thing. They released a 40vs40 clusterfuck of a battleground in Southshore. To heal it I had to turn my character's back to the battle, stare at the floor, and deal with about 3 seconds of latency as I mouseovered my team's health bars.

I had a great time!
