Along with this, the armor models that were used in the original Naxxramas might be reused as a new tier of armor. They were designed to feel like what you would find in this type of dungeon and they really did a great job of it.

We'll provide more information on this when we can, but keep in mind that all plans are subject to change.

Reactions on the forums are... mixed, to say the least. I've never been in the old Naxx, although I'm working on AD rep to get there to at least see it. If this goes ahead, I may have been wasting my time. I think a 'heroic mode' Naxx would be simpler and easier, and encounter less resistance. But what do I know.

Cheers!

Old news. However its apparently a brillaint instance.

Revamping Naxx is a pretty good idea. And it shows that the world is changing due to player effects - the heros of Azeroth pushed back the Lich King's forces pre-TBC, so Naxx has returned to Northrend as Arathas regroups his forces and prepares to fend off a Dwarven invasion and the Forsaken's Anti-Scourge bio-weapons.

You know, The people who are moaning are the ones who managed to get in and complete the place before the rading depression which happened about this time last yea, Our realm got stuck on 4 horseman for example.

On the other hand, Those of us who never got to set foot in this place will be very happy, I know I am, mostly because they are reusing the Tier 3 Armor skins for it, And Dreadnaught was and still is one of the best looking sets in the game.

I LOVED Naxx was the first proper raid instance where tactics played a Huge part in the bosses, wasnt just tank and spank.

The mobs were really well thought through, the layout was great and kel thuzad was and probably still is one of my favourite fights
