Phase 1 servers?

Phase1 Servers?! I love the idea! I love it so much that I made a lengthy thread about it a year ago, before classic even launched:

However, for one week (or some short period of time) they also stay on the seasonal realm before it is reset. In this one week period, Blizzard could do crazy stuff, like they did at the end of the beta: they could spawn raid bosses in capitols, give everyone thunder…
