This will never happen.

You didn't miss anything great. Raids pre-BC were quite possibly the worst thing around. "original glory" is a pretty poor choice of terms, and I don't think very many people at all will agree with that sort of perspective. Horribly unbalanced fights with minimal rewards and 39 other people weren't fun. There's a reason only %10 of the game (at best) ever even got past BWL and AQ40. It was unreasonably hard, required endless amounts of consumeable farming and just wasn't fun for most people.

Really old school people will remember when you had to take a full run THROUGH BRD in order to start MC every night. This, while perhaps seeming "epic" for those of you who never did it, was quite possible the crappiest thing in the game ever. Then they added attunement and that was kinda nice and nobody had to run through the whole poorly designed BRD just to get to the only raid around.

There's nothing to be nostalgic about. I don't miss it at all.
