Ready Check: I miss Karazhan
Ready Check focuses on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, Icecrown Citadel or Ulduar, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. Recently, your devoted WoW.com staff of journalists and trained monkeys were huddled in the newsroom discussing raiding in Wrath of the Lich King. We naturally looked back to the Burning Crusade for comparisons and recalled that most favorite raid: Karazhan. Man, how the memories came rolling in as soon as its hallowed name came up. I couldn't help but think about all the things I miss about Karazhan. There was something magic about that place. I loved everything from the music to the tapestries to the well-developed NPCs that were lurking around every corner. It all combined to form one of the most engaging, interesting raid instances in the World of Warcraft. I look back at it with the same kind of fondness I usually reserve for music played at my prom or the soup eaten at my wedding. But to me, Karazhan was the best of times I've had in WoW. I readily admit the game has come a long way since the days of Kara, but I have to constantly question what it is about that place that promotes so much nostalgia.
