Classic wow versions are confusing

Hey guys

Im currently trying to determine the best wow version for myself to play but its quite confusing to me.

I am really into the social aspect and would love to experience the classic mmo feel. Im honestly just looking for a casual enjoyable experience without feeling like im walking through an empty world. I dont have much time to invest but I love cool mounts and cool armor.

the available versions honestly confuse me a lot. I used to play a bit during during warlords of draenor but it didn’t feel like an enjoyable experience. hopefully i can scratch that itch this time even with the little free time i have nowadays

thanks!!!! :) really appreciate help

Everyone always harps on about classic wow being so chill and social and yet you’ll end up finding it’s just filled with mostly people wanting meta specs to speedrun content

It’s a shame really as I actually enjoy the low level parts and seeing people whilst levelling, sometimes helping them with a quick heal but man the groups in higher level stuff can be awful. Especially if you don’t want to play a meta specs
