Basically, this is a very close remake of Vanilla WoW (2004-2006) - for all intents and purposes, it will play, look, and feel like Vanilla. No modern features are included, e.g., no transmog, no barbershop, no level boosts, no LFR, etc. Max level is 60. Check the "What content is available" section below to see available content!
The game launches world-wide at 6PM US Eastern time on Monday, August 26th, 2019. Name reservations and character creation are open now.
Content is split into Phases. We do not know exactly when each Phase will begin, besides Phase 1, which starts on launch day.
Phase 1
Molten Core
Onyxia
Maraudon
Open World PvP only (no honor system, ranking, or Battlegrounds)
Phase 2
Dire Maul
Azuregos
Kazzak
Honor System (including Dishonorable Kills)
PvP Rank Rewards
Phase 3
Blackwing Lair
Darkmoon Faire
Darkmoon deck drops begin
Alterac Valley (version 1.12)

Phase 4
Zul'Gurub
Green Dragons
Arathi Basin
Phase 5
Ahn'Qiraj War Effort begins
Ahn'Qiraj raid opens when the war effort dictates
Dungeon loot reconfiguration: Tier 0.5 Dungeon gear, relics, drop rates and location changes
Phase 6
Naxxramas
Scourge Invasion
World PvP objectives in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands
We don't know. The Burning Crusade: Classic may eventually come to fruition. We may see new content set in Classic's style. It's up to Blizzard and the success of Classic. I suspect that TBC: Classic is the most likely option.
In addition to the above, WoW Classic only requires a WoW subscription (~$15 a month) - there is no game to purchase, so the subscription fee is all you have to pay. The game is available on PC/Mac, and of course it is developed and published by Activision-Blizzard.
System requirements are extremely light - a potato gaming PC from 2009 can run Classic!
