World of Warcraft beta development timeline (2001-2004)

Development timeline video starting from the first announcement of World of Warcraft in 2001 until release of it in late 2004 with never seen before footage. Lok'tar! Happy 20th anniversary. I also recommend to check out the "World of Warcraft Diary" book by John Staats (former vanilla WoW dev). This video works perfectly as a supplementary material for it: https://www.amazon.com/World-Warcraft... P.S. This video took way too long to make. (Over a year of on and off research). Not everything could be found. Example: early (2001) interview videos seem lost to time. Or the GIGA GAMES live TV show recordings of the closed beta. And that is only for known videos that existed at one point of time. It still turned out to be a monster length wise, but historical footage is now preserved.
