Lore out the window - bring back 60 Naxx

#0 - July 20, 2010, 12:50 a.m.

Hello,

Just curious if original Naxxaramas might make its way back into the game as there is quite a growing number of 60 twinks anxious to visit the horrifying halls of Naxx in its original context.

I mean lorewise it's completely feasible since you brought back Onyxia at level 80 which made no sense whatsoever other than free lewts while ICC was being finished.

Cheers

:)

We intend to keep Naxxramas hovering over its current home of Dragonblight. Moving the citadel back to the Plaguelands doesn't really fit in with our plans for evolving the story in that area for Cataclysm.

Q u o t e:

2 Words my dear Zarhym: Phasing.

One word for you in reply, dearest Darkmaester: We're not phasing the entire old world into a past/present sort of scenario. The Cataclysm will bring about inescapable change for all inhabitants of Azeroth. We don't plan to phase a portion of the playerbase into some past world of Azeroth where environments, quests, and creatures are unchanged.

Q u o t e:

You seem to be forgetting a certain cavern.

If we're going to develop content where you travel in the past to take part in some major piece of Warcraft history, we're going to try and make that content compelling and enhance the story of the expansion. Adding a level 60 version of Naxxramas to Caverns of Time doesn't sound very compelling or relevant to Cataclysm... "Patch 4.1: Travel back in time to return to a high-end raid not applicable or relevant to the current end game, characters, or storyline!" ;)
