Hey guys
I am wondering what are your favourite raids that were in classic wow? (MC, BWL, Onyxia, ZG, Naxx, Ruins of AQ, AQ40).

I never played it when it was current, but BWL, to me, was interesting because it was an ascending dungeon. As opposed to the quintessential dungeon “dive”. It also had a very cool first boss.
Ill always have fond memories of molten core as its at the height of wows popularity amongst my friends & it was the best time of my life.

I have no fond memories of any raid in “Classic” - mostly because of things that have less to do with the raids and more to do with what it took to actually participate.
Blackwing Lair by far is my favorite in Vanilla. MC is a close second.
Zul’Gurub, for the environment.
I wasn’t there for their actual mechanics.

They are all boring tank and spank encounters. So none, they all suck.
ZG and AQ20.
Molten core is literally the worst raid I’ve ever done across 5 MMOs. AQ40 is a big step up, but I still would never want to do it again.
I haven’t been able to see any of the classic raids as they were current, but going back to farm transmog… I’d have to pick BWL.
EDIT: I do also like ZG. Troll dungeons/raids in general I like the aesthetics.
From my time playing in vanilla it was Molten Core for sure. It was my first raid ever, it felt so epic having 40 people together fighting enemies.
Replaying it in classic Naxx has the best atmosphere and bosses for sure to me.
All of them (never did naxx though). Specifically because they were easy, so laid back and not treated like serious business like retail raids.
Talking classic of course, since they were treated deadly serious in real vanilla
None, as most of the instances have fewer mechanics across all bosses combined than LFR queen azshara.
I didn’t do any raiding in classic WoW (edit: by which I mean Vanilla, not WoW Classic which I did not play) while the raids were still current content but I liked the 5-man version of ZG so I assume that probably would’ve been my favorite, but idk
Of the 4, I liked MC the most. Though BWL wasnt bad.
I didn’t do any of them when they were current. I think I’ve passed through most of them as a tourist, and honestly they felt pretty empty and bland. Low res and not a lot going on. I do realize I was probably experiencing them in the worst possible way.
Onyxia because you didn’t need to spend 10 hours clearing trash to get to her.
BWL, hands down.
If they deleted the suppression field, my answer would be BWL.
MC and AQ40 are too long (especially MC, where you can’t mount)
AQ20 is decent but the mog is ugly.
Naxx and ZG no longer exist as they were. Onyxia’s just a simple walking and kill boss.
So BWL I guess, even with the stupid suppression room.
Zul’Gurub by far. Might be a top 5 raid of all time for me.
Least favorite is MC.
