During the Molten Core & Blackwing Lair days on PvP servers, this was one of the best locations in Azeroth for world PvP, full 40 man raids verses each other was a sight to be seen. On any given raid night you could see hundreds of skeletons leading to the instance portals. I sure hope Blizzard adds something like that in Wrath of the Lich King.

This place really makes playing this game worth it. The amazing scale of this vast underground city, from its detailed architecture to its labyrinthine corridors, makes it easy to get lost trying to explore it all.

I remember running out BWL before we started to help other ppl in when ran into horde. I remember one such occasion we spent an hour outside killing the horde in massive all out PVP war. I miss those times. I also miss seeing the face when a 40 man raid went out to kill a boomkin

Don't you wish Blizz would make a new instance hub this majestic? I still get chills when I walk in through the thorium point entrance, round the corner, and then see that awesome view of the molten span. IMO blackrock mountain with all its instances is the best conceptualized zone in the game so far, including WOTLK. They sure don't make 'em like this any more!

Kommentar von MoarHeroisms

It seems you can now mount up inside the mountain, making traveling to and through BRM more convenient.

Kommentar von Muzzle248

This place has 4 instances and in cata 6

Kommentar von Kharzack

All together there is 101 bosses out of all of the raids and instances combined.

Every time I level an alt, I get excited for this set of zones (Burning Steppes/Searing Gorge), and then I remember they ruined them with Cata. It's still fun, but not the same.
I remember the awe of first arriving in the Burning Steppes on a WAY too low level character...and being promptly destroyed by imps.
I remember first finishing Blackrock depths. It took 3 hours (way back at the beginning of Wrath). I actually felt accomplished, whereas now people chew up and spit out dungeons in 20 minutes.
I remember my imagination exploding with possibilities and history as I first discovered the massive underground dwarf cities that tunneled beneath the zones.

That awe still exists, but it is diminished as the game has become less "be a sponge and soak up these environments we worked so hard to make for you," and more "level up really fast so you can do endgame content."

I just wanted to add my voice to the others here with how wonderful this zone always has been. It has an epic place in WoW history and was some unique lore that was largely not drawn from or continued from WarCraft 3. Think about it, it has (or had):

-The seat of power for the Dark Iron Dwarves in Die Schwarzfelstiefen, itself a vast sprawling and intact city, with its former leader Imperator Dagran Thaurissan. The Thaurissan clan was responsible for summoning Ragnaros, damning their people to be slaves bound by Ragnaros' will. He also captured Prinzessin Moira Bronzebart and conceived a child with her, which could potentially throw Ironforge into chaos, or maybe even unite the Dark Iron and Bronzebeard dwarves with his unique heritage. BRD was also the only location of the Black Anvil and Black Forge, which used to be necessary for smelting Dunkeleisenerz and crafting Dark Iron gear, a throwback to the game being engineered to keep you out in the world, grouping together and running dungeons. It even has the Grim Guzzler, a bar you can just hang out in halfway through, or start a bar fight!

- Schwarzfelsspitze, once also the home of the Dark Iron Dwarves but was seized by Nefarian and his combined army of orcish and dragonkin forces. Directly opposed to the former inhabitants, Nefarion and Ragnaros waged a war over control of the mountain, and by extension the Blackrock Orcs are at war with the Dark Iron Dwarves. It was also the home of Kriegshäuptling Rend Schwarzfaust, leader of the Blackrock tribe who met his end in Nefarion's service. Also home of the legendary Leeroy video!

- The deepest accessible point of the mountain, Der Geschmolzene Kern. It has the game's first legendary, the Uraltes versteinertes Blatt which was an amazing old hunter quest chain to master your class, the Das Auge der Offenbarung which was the priest equivalent of the leaf, and the home of Ragnaros himself, considered by players of old to be their first truly epic raid experience. A lot of memories had by players in the old 40-man raids.

- Pechschwingenhort, the first raid to show a huge variety of raid mechanics, experimental raid ideas (suppression room), a major step on your way to create the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, and the big man Nefarion with his iconic class calls and difficulty early on.

All of the above was created for or during Vanilla WoW, and did not rely on prior WarCraft series events to unfold, which is something the expansions cannot claim except for Mists of Pandaria. And all of this happened in one zone.

Of course, Blizzard later expanded the mountain to include Schwarzfelshöhlen and Pechschwingenabstieg which even further expanded on this legendary mountain.

While I personally enjoyed the events here in Vanilla WoW days much more than the additions in Cataclysm, I don't speak for everyone and I just want to be grateful for all of the unique hours provided in this one little area, where there is barely a good guy in sight, the lore was rich, the fights meaningful, and the multiple game reasons to keep coming back and enjoying these HUGE zones and their sprawling content. And as mentioned before, sometimes it was just good old fashioned fun battling the opposing faction in the mountain while waiting for your party to show up, escalating into guild-wide conflicts and other great shenanigans.

Many of the dungeons we see now are streamlined to get through it easily and quickly, but zones like Blackrock Depths and Blackrock Spire attempted to show you that there are whole worlds out there to explore and get lost in, entire tribes and kingdoms hostile to you and each other, and there are unique reasons people need to go into Dungeons besides loot (some need attunements, others need to farm items only found in them, and others still had to use the Black Forge and Black Anvil, or the tank had to go see the Thorium Brotherhood merchant for some patterns). It really was something special in its heyday.

If you're coming from Ironforge or the north the closest Flight path is Iron Summit, Searing Gorge

/way Searing Gorge 34.84, 84.91 Blackrock Mountain (North Entrance)

If you're coming from Stormwind or the south the closest Flight path is Flamestart post, Burning Steppes

/way Burning Steppes 21.11, 38.30 Blackrock Mountain (South Entrance)

It is far faster (as of 7.3) to just auto-run there with an epic flying mount than to Flight Path it.

If you're curious, like I was, it is about 5 seconds faster to fly from SW than from IF via 310% flying mount.

That place on the inside is so cool! I went in through burning steppes on that bridge that you fly over sometimes with my 37 hunter and its like a dead Ironforge with giant chains, cool paths and lava, and a raid & dungeon (or 2) in it. You just gotta see inside. You can't miss seeing it
