This archive is extremely rare as it contains videos from the alpha & beta testing long before World of Warcraft was released. There are videos of different player models, different spell animations that are fundamentally different from what we are used to today. Most of these videos come from E3 expo events between 2001-2004, where people could try out the earliest demos of World of Warcraft. Unfortunately most of these videos are in very low quality, but still watchable!

WoWmapview is a 3D map viewer for World of Warcraft. It uses the data files included with the game to display the 3D game world, which you can explore by flying anywhere. It allows access to off-limits developer areas and unfinished instance maps.
The reverse engineering of the game data files is a work in progress, so obviously the viewer is neither perfect nor complete, and definitely not optimized.

This tool does not have a graphical user interface. You can drag-and-drop files or folders onto "BLP2PNG.exe" and it will convert them, or you can use it from command-line environments such as development tools. If you're looking for a tool with a file picker and buttons, this isn't it. The tool fully supports alpha channels and can be used as a drag-and-drop converter or from the command line. It can also convert your existing TGA files to PNG. If you drop a folder onto it, it will recursively convert every BLP image in the folder to a PNG. This is very handy for mass-converting.
