Expansion: Will We See Old Heroics?
Imagine stomping through the Deadmines at level 80, defeating Van Cleef in a challenging and interesting fight, nothing like the time you breezed through the place at level 20. Heroic versions of old dungeons are something the playerbase has been looking for a long time, and expansion development has renewed hopes that maybe we’d see them in Wrath of the Lich King. Unfortunately that possibility has once again been struck down by a recent post by a Blizzard CM, Bornakk:
” We have stated in the past that while this is a fun idea, we don’t currently have any plans to do this. As much as going back and seeing good ol’ Scholomance sounds like a expedition, it is still a dungeon that a lot of people have already run a lot of times. We are focused on bringing brand new dungeons to players that are also more epic and exciting than what we have done in the past.”
So as you can see, Blizzard has decided to develop new content as opposed to focusing on rehashing old dungeons. One could make the argument that development time for rehashed dungeons are likely a fraction of the time and effort required to build a new one from scratch, but its likely falling on deaf ears. Maybe by next expansion we’ll be able to stomp through Gnomeregan and liberate the place from our fallen brethren once and for all. Or not, which seems to be the more likely scenario. Personally I’d love the opportunity to adventure through old hunting grounds once again, but its on the back burner for now!
