The original WoW manual was over 200 pages long! While flipping through it I found a note on dying: “No matter how good an adventurer you are, you will know the sting of death.”
WoW…the real souls game before Dark Souls.
(sorry I tried to post an imgur link but my “trust level” isn’t high enough)
I still have mine and read it front to back before choosing my first toon back in the day 
Great, now I’m going to spend the next hour or so digging through boxes trying to find my old book, because this is the first I’ve thought of it in over a decade.
Man I miss old PC game manuals.
They have a download link in the classic section of the website.
I was trying hard to collect all of the boxes… still missing WoD and BfA. You have inspired me to go back and pull out my Vanilla manual.
Omg! This is awesome, I had no idea. Thank you!
