    I agree. Mara IMO was well designed, it had different wings and once you had done all of them or someone in your party did you could skip most of it if you wished. It is a lush and vibrant instance IMO. Sunken Temple however I found much more confusing, and the graphical design was horrible as well, all dark and quite repeative (you have to literally go around in circles to complete the instance).

    BRD was epic, not going to lie but I refused to do it back in the day because it seemed so hard and so complex. However now that those types of instances ARE gone, now I miss them... IMO Blizzard should still do a variety of instances, it sucks that they refuse to do ANY in-depth ones just because they are much harder and time consuming.

    Re: Maraudon. If you remember it.

    I've spent so much time in mara not just when I was lvling toons back in the day but I'm an avid twinker and 49 is one of my fav brackets. Trying to get the Bloomsprout Helm for my shaman and hunter from the rare spawn in there Meshlok took me well over 4 months and getting the Fungus shroud chest for my rogue took another 2 months. All in all its not a horrible place but when you spend as much time in there as I have it starts to eat away at your soul.

    Blackrock Depths, or Gnomeregan.

    Blackrock Depths was an AMAZINGLY designed instance, but, took SUCH a long time to complete, wasn't as fun.

    Gnomeregan designed for level 30s-40, but as a player who plays nearly exclusively horde, never got to see much of it. boring as hell instance IMO

    Maraudon, not anything CLOSE to a bad instance,most didnt go there due to its location, 45-48ish instance in 30-38 zone.

    I refuse to go back and solo it. That place is awful.
    bahaha. i remember BRD.. =( not very enjoyable, i can agree. but one night, me and 4 friends decided to do a 'full clear'. deep into the night, 3 AM-ish, we got to the last boss. 45minutes of wiping, then downing them. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=11684 dropped. let's say my friend, a rogue, only one who would use it, was happy. =)

    BRD was probably the best 5-man blizzard ever did. Was it long...yes. But the rewards, at least in its day, were top-notch. More importantly, it was creative and it was epic. By today's standards, of course, it was mostly tank and spank but in its hayday it was full of unique and interesting encounters and setups, and even now its far more than a 'clear trash, kill boss, repeat' type instance. There was always way more to do.

    Oh i LOVED BRD back in the day, not too many people finished it because it was soo long. I do remember doing lots of MC attunement runs for people, being a priest.

    Also, just noticed, that I used to play with kayron on Dethecus before I x-fered because the server was sooo bad at the time.

    Deathwatcher, Shadowpriest. 2261 Spellpower Unbuffed. x-Dethecus. On Eredar now!

    Re: Maraudon. If you remember it.

    I tanked Maraudon last week...I actually remembered most of it, going through it on my main, and we went through it very quickly with our good dps.

    BRD on the other hand, I tried tanking...I hated it...
    Its big, way too many adds if someone pulls a boneheaded move, the bosses didn't even drop decent gear.
    Sigh...
    The Grim Guzzler was nice though >.>

    But yes, I remember Maraudon, and its cake compared to BRD.
