A year has past, and I am sad that I will likely never see the message notifying me that I am position 35 thousand in queue and I have 8 hours to wait, all while I sit there listening to this. Or at least until World of Warcraft: Classic: Classic releases 15 years later. But those were great times, those first weeks of Classic.
Yup :D It was in game in Vanilla too, but it was blue instead of green, and you couldn't go through it. They introduced the dark portal back in like Warcraft 2, so it was already pretty iconic before WoW came out. They probably picked it because log-in screens are/were also called portals
