Blizzard said some players who had been given early access to the classic version - which is released at 23:00 BST on Monday - mistakenly thought some of the original features were errors.WoW's launch was a significant moment," says Piers Harding-Rolls, from the IHS Markit consultancy. "It had a broad impact on the gaming sector as a whole and especially the online gaming scene.

"The appeal and accessibility of the game meant it soon grew to millions of users in the West and broadened the audience for this type of game significantly."It was so popular in the US that Blizzard - then part of Vivendi - ran ads on TV with celebrity endorsements. This was pretty much unheard of back in 2004."

Oli Walsh, editor of video-game website Eurogamer, said: "The quality of the execution set it apart, along with Blizzard's ability to make this previously rather intimidating style of game approachable to a broad audience.

"It was, and remains, so well done that nothing has really supplanted it in 15 years - although many tried. Arguably, it was the first truly mass-market online game."
