Red Alert 2 was released in October 2000. By that time, both AMD and Intel had passed the 1 ghz milestone. Where in the hell would you pick up a 266 mhz part in October of 2000? A history museum?

The Pentium 2 was just exiting production in 1999...

One issue is that I feel it would look really out of place, since all the mobs would still have the old models too.

Honestly, I feel that Classic WoW is somewhat of a preservation of how the game was in 2005, almost a museum piece, and I wouldn't want any changes to that for better or for worse.

Good thing it'd be toggleable so it wouldn't affect you in any way possible.

...and the last Pentium IIs were clocked at 450 mhz.

No joke, the first computer I played WoW was a Best Buy prebuilt with a 266Hz processor. I bought it a few years earlier because I needed to upgrade to a computer that would run Red Alert 2.

Yeah, I remembered this wrong. I think it was an AMD Athlon at 1ghz, but it had RAM support at 266hz. Something like that. We're talking about a PC I bought almost 20 years ago when I had no idea how the things worked.

No.
You’re in my world now! *confused evil laughter*

Also realistically it wouldn’t be just aesthetics. It would probably be a very complex balancing act between animations, ability/spell timers, world interaction, who knows what else.

The more things you balance the bigger the risk of breaking everything.
