Blizzard is the first example that comes to my mind with monetizing nostalgia with World of Warcraft. I must say, the feeling I have when randomly hearing similar tunes in Dota 2 which sometimes seemingly sounds like Elwyn Forests soundtrack is quite something.

If I remember correctly, Jagex revived the Old Runescape basically accidentally when they were going to shut it off. Needless to say, it worked for them very well. I love the visual, music and the feeling of first exploration which sometimes washes me over when I'm watching some Old Runescape lore videos.

Damn. Being a kid when first games were created was truly something.
