That’s honestly a shame, because (despite no longer playing) I came to Turtle WoW fresh out of Classic, and was blown away by how expansive and canon the experience felt. They expanded the game outward, not upward. I remember the Durotar starting zone had more details throughout, with immersive touches like orcish warriors training/drilling in the Valley of Trials. It was everything I wished Classic could have been. Blizzard (thinking they know better than the players as always) couldn’t be fucked to even entertain Classic+, and gave us whatever half-baked trash Season of Discovery was, with a congratulatory self pat on the back as though they did something innovative.

Fuck Blizzard. Turtle WoW outdid them long ago.
