Molten Core Archeology Trip

molten core

The WoW raid instance, Molten Core, has a long and rich media history. Being the first 40 man raid and the first end level instance, it was widely known both as panicle of lament for those that continually wiped and as a symbol of triumph for those guilds who successfully completed it. The infamy of Molten Core extends well beyond the World of Warcraft into other media, such as songs, stories, video and t-shirts. However after the release of the burning crusade, Molten Core has essentially been rendered obsolete by the introduction of less tedious instances that yield better rewards. It now exists solely as a historical artifact, a small tribute to its own history.

I have never been to Molten Core and although I can not relive the past, I am interested in studying it. I would like to propose an archeology trip, a historical exploration on a once great landscape now gathering dust. I would like to enlist the expertise of a seasoned guide or two, that can assist in the excavation. As well as aiding us in strategy they can recount old war stories along the way, and thus relay the oral history to those of us to young to remember. – john
