>Is it just nostalgia for the "classic" version

Yes, pretty much. The reason it has been getting so much fanfare is that people have been trying to play vanilla WoW for over a decade on private servers, but kept getting shut down by Blizzard's legal department. Blizzard refused to host a classic server for the longest time leading to the infamous condescending quote "You don't want that ... You think you do, but you don't"
