Hi,

I was wondering how many of the outlands instances are still going to be in WotLK, that is, will I still be able to get t5/6 gear, glaives, CVoS, etc, etc in Wrath? And for that matter, will the old World instances be taken out? I came to the game too late to see C'thun, Onyxia, Nefarian, and others. Just wondering what all will be affected raid wise come Wrath. (or the content pre-patch). I know the ZA bear is gone, and Naxx 1.0 & the original t3 sets are out, or so I have heard.

Thanks

Q u o t e:
Naxx is the only instance being redone.

All other instances remain as they were when they were introduced to the game.


If you can find people to run the old instances they will be sitting and waiting for people to go through them.

This is the problem. I just can't see finding groups for this stuff, at least not for a very long time. I mean, I noticed that once guilds had MH/BT cleared and were waiting to hit up Sunwell, you found some server pugs of Naxx, AQ40 and BWL for grins and giggles. You might see the same depending on speed of server progression and raid release content, but for the most part people want to move forward in content, not backwards.

Besides, a lot of encounters become trivialized at a certain gear level. Ony can be solo'd by a druid at this point and any badge/T6 5-man could take her down if they understand the fight. Just not all the epic after what used to be one of those milestone fights in the game. I can imagine the same thing going forward.


I didn't say it was easy to get people together, but if you are interested in doing them and start asking around you can get groups together. Yes, people do prefer to move forward with content, and we are adding a whole lot of it in Wrath of the Lich King, so if you want to run these places you can either try getting people together now or wait until you have some level 80s looking for places to smash.
