    Which old dungeon would you like to see revamped next?

    Since Cata it has become a bit of a tradition that we get an older dungeon but in a new version. Some think it's Blizz milking the cow, others (like myself) get the nostalgia kick and enjoy seeing a dungeon that you used to level through, but now it offers max level content. Some of the revamps have been better than others, and sometimes the original is impossible to top (due to nostalgia alone), but we're talking theoretically here ofc.

    So far we have gotten:

    *Deadmines (Cata)
    *Shadowfang Keep (Cata)
    *Zul'Aman (Cata)
    *Zul'Gurub (Cata)
    *Scarlet Monastery (MoP)
    *Scarlet Halls (MoP)
    *Scholomance (MoP)
    *Upper Blackrock Spire (WoD)
    *Violet Hold (Legion)

    I think it's interesting that out of all of these, all of them except for Violet Hold are located in Eastern Kingdoms. No love for Kalimdor? Just a coincidence. A revamped dungeon could be linked to the theme of the expansion (which we can only speculate what the next would be), but sometimes it can just be a revamp that stands on its own. Outside of the theme of the expansion, let's say a big threat rises in Razorfen Downs and we go there to take care of it.

    I've always loved Maraudon but felt it lost some of its charm when they split it into 3 parts. Maybe tightening it up a bit, it could make for a great revamp. Always loved the atmosphere and feeling of the place. Same goes for Dire Maul. Awesome atmosphere and feeling, maybe time for some new love. Sunken Temple is another one that feels pretty straight forward and dull now. It has a neat look, but since they removed the two floors layout (which was confusing for pug groups), it just feels a bit too straight forward.

    Anyhow, your ideas?

    I would like to see them stop revamping old dungeons, and instead focus on new ideas.

    Wouldn't mind an update to Wailing Caverns honestly.

    I'd like to see them revamp Karazhan as a 5 man dungeon.

    make wailing caverns a raid!

    Regardless of what I want, I'm 95% sure the next one will be Zul'Farrak.

    Would prefer to see something in theme with the current expansion. Fortunately, that's what we're getting with Karazhan. The Legion knows the knowledge locked away in there could be used against them, and in the past we defeated Malchezzar there. They understand the importance of that place as it related to Azeroth's Ley Lines and magic of the planet.

    Zul'Farrak is most likely the next one getting a revamp (7.1 PTR has FoS for Sul'thraze). I'd like to see Sunken Temple revamped back to it's original state since we now know Blizzard is open to making long dungeons again (Karazhan 7.1).

    Wailing Caverns would be pretty cool
    BRD - Emperor Run style!

    This list is incomplete. You are missing quite a few, but the ones I am going to mention have no max level version, only a leveling one:

    Stormwind Stockades (Cata)
    Ragefire Chasm (MoP)
    Blackfathom Deeps (WoD)
    Razorfen Kraul (WoD)
    Razorfen Downs (WoD)

    I really would love to see max level version of the three WoD ones, ESPECIALLY Razorfen Kraul. Since it's a leveling version the bosses die extremely fast due to heirlooms, but they have some really cool mechanics that - if tuned correctly - could make for quite a fun fight. Examples:

    Razorfen Kraul:
    Roogug: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Roogug
    Warlord Ramtusk: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Warlord_Ramtusk
    Charlga Razorflank: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Charlga_Razorflank

    Razorfen Downs:
    Mordresh Fire Eye: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Mordresh_Fire_Eye

    Blackfathom Deeps:
    Twilight Lord Bathiel: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Twilight_Lord_Bathiel
    Aku'mai the Devourer: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Aku%27mai_the_Devourer

    Aside from those, it's about time we get a new troll dungeon. So Zul'farrak or Sunken Temple it is!

    I wouldn't mind Mana Tombs being revamped.
    Anything from Wrath would be good as well, I loved those dungeons.

    Ragefire chasm, and the 2 dungeons in the lower barrens. They're all in Kalimdor.

    That was only cut, the bosses are still the exact same as they were before. Else Wailing Caverns was also redone, as a section was removed in there.

    They've already ruined most of the good ones, not sure what's left aside from Uldaman.

    I personally would really like to see them to revamp all of the dungeons from TBC and vanilla with some modern dungeon design, and some re-tuning to make them not trivial to the point that people cant solo them on level in their heirlooms. BUT, and heres the major BUT, they need to maintain access to all old version either through caverns of time or something, I am so sick of them revamping crap and getting rid of the old version.
