The lore, at the time, said the blade was uncleansable and that it was possible to craft another but would have to be crafted by his son which was hinted to be in outland.

Ah I see. Interesting to know, but still it provided excellent potential for a Purified Ashbringer. Even if it had to be in the later Burning Crusade expansion, which was unfortunately not what Blizz was planning with the Classic servers.
Some say Corrupted Ashbringer?
The Ashbringer…

the original plan for it was to craft a new and even better sword in Outland, since as Fairbanks said, throw that horrid thing away, it’s corrupted beyond any hope of repair.

Based on what everyone has said so far about what blizz had planned in the past, and now I have a better view on how things would’ve been I have to agree on what some have said. Sure, leave the game as it is when it’s first launched. However later down the line when some things start stagnating I can easily see content such as a questline for the New Ashbringer get made for people to do when it gets to that point.
There’s a pretty cool cinematic if you go into SM Cathedral and you have a Corrupted Ashbringer. That was the only “lore” bonus I think the weapon had and considering no other weapon could do that, made it unique in that sense atleast.

when you realise that the ashbringer was hinted at ingame and was an item that no one knew how to obtain until a GM who no longer worked for blizzard posted a guide on how to get it and the item was removed from ingame…
idk if it was completely true that you could obtain it but if it was I think it was before naxxramas or the corrupted ashbringer.

Can we get an aeitesh for warriors 2
It wasn’t limited 1 per person it was just a really rare drop from a single Boss in Naxx split between 40 players with only 1 chance per week in a raid with an incredibly low clear rate, it was just unlikely that more than 1 or 2 players per realm had it.
The only thing that was limited 1 per player was the scarab lord title and the black battle tank.

Alright that was some funny banter.
Because the Ashbringer cleansing was added in Legion
wasnt there a scripted event in SM if you equipped corrupted ashbringer. Since it made you friendly.
cringing.

If you want your very own ashbringer, get a Paladin to level 100 in retail wow.

Confirmed alliance can get Ashbringer from fishing in AB in classic.

I see where this misconception comes from. The Corrupted Ashbringer is not limited to one per server. This being said back in vanilla wow only small number of guilds were able to clear naxx content effectively leading to only a small number of players obtaining this weapon. So with this in mind it would not be unexpect for only one player to have the weapon on a smaller servers due to the amount of effort that went into obtaining it back in the day. Same could also be said for full tier gear from naxx as well because assembling all the other pieces was an ever harder undertaking.
