There's no figuring out how to manage gold or my inventory. A decade and a half of playing the game has given me a good foundation for that. I will know with a casual glance at a trainer what spells I can just ignore, until max, what to toss if I need space for better loot, when a quest is going to be more trouble than it's worth, etc. The only thing to get lost in is nostalgia hits. Which is fine, but let's not pretend that Classic is going to bulldoze Live because Vanilla was a game about getting lost exploring a world. It isn't Vanilla. That world is thoroughly explored.
