Burning Crusade private server with Gummy as the coder has my attention. Vanilla WoW was a great experience, no doubt, but the BC expansion was superb and remains my favorite.
The armor and weapons styling in BC looked really bad even by Warcraft standards but the group content had proper difficulty tuning....probably the only time in Warcraft's history where that was the case. Many pick up groups failed at their instance attempts--as it should be. No satisfaction is taken in winning when victory comes automatically.

The pre-expansion game revolutionized the genre (or arguably, suffocated it) due to its leveling which was, let's not forget, seen at the time as a significant improvement over EQ and its older clones. The game at level cap was rather dreary and poorly thought-out, but that's not what earned Warcraft its millions of subscribers.
