Playing Classic again there are so many unsatisfying and dissapointing conclusions to our favorite places and NPCs when thinking about what happened to them in other expansions. Classic needs its own story and timeline separate from retail.
Teldrassil shouldn’t have burned from a few spicy rocks that somehow made it over an entire ocean.
Darkshore with all its nostalgic NPCs should not have died in the Cataclysm.
The Nights Watch in Darkshire should not have all been corrupted in Legion and slain by the player.
Redridge should not have been destroyed by the Scourge in Shadowlands.
Theramore should not have been wiped from existence by a mana bomb.
… and many more examples. I’m sure Horde players have grievances of their own in regards to favorite and iconic locations and people.
If Classic+ ever becomes a thing in full-swing, our places can carry on, and locations that have been neglected over the years could receive new quests.
