The retired raids of Zul'aman and Zul'gurub are scheduled to return in World of Warcraft's 4.1 patch.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Sweet, can't wait to see the changes. I was sad to see ZG go. Glad its coming back.
I am long since done with WoW but when I was playing and raiding heavily those were among my favorite instances.
I think its very cool that Bliz went back and revamped all old world stuff in such a big way. I think most MMO devs kind of abandon all the old content and keep churning out new areas, you just end up with ghost towns very empty zones.
The cool thing about Blizzard's revamp is that they most of the time bring new mechanics into it.
Also, what is the great fun in having old raids sitting around for no one to actually use?
Kudos to Blizzard for updating their outdated content and making it accessible for their userbase that didn't play through Vanilla.
Although they may never have the same "omg-it's-new" feeling oldschoolers had, it's great fun to see some of the first released instances.
