RetroWoW is running since January 2015 and is offering the following features:
– Instant 60: Your character will automatically be level 60 once you create it. You can choose between free dungeon 2 gear or blue items from the starter vendors.
– Optional 3x XP Blizzlike leveling.
– 5-Man Raids: Onyxia’s Lair, Ahn’Qiraj 20/40, Zul’Gurub, Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and Naxxramas are all fully scripted and scaled for 5-Man raiding. Raids are carefully tuned to make sure that, despite the smaller amount of players required to run them, they still provide an experience similar to the one you use to know. Each mob and every boss is tested and adjusted properly though multiple retail-experienced teams.
Completing attunements is not required and to make sure you are able to progress fast enough, raids will reset every 2 days.
– Gear Vendors: These vendors are selling epic gear for Gold (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 2.5, Tier 3, MC, AQ, BWL and Naxxramas Items).

Though you can run to your corpse in order to resurrect, if you remain near the spirit healer in your graveyard, you’ll be returned to life after a short countdown.
