Too true. Naxx really had it all. I don't think I'm more proud of any boss kills than the four or five we managed in there before Burning Crusade.

The place just oozed danger, atmosphere and death. It had trash that was harder than some bosses in earlier raids, innovative boss mechanics, and Kel'Thuzad. Seeing a death knight for the first time was just....wow (before it smashed your face in).

Ulduar fans may downvote me for this, but I personally think Naxx40 was the pinnacle of raiding this game has ever (and will ever) seen. I say that also having spent the better part of fix months farming BWL.

I've said it before, but all you really need to know about Naxx40 can be learned from how you got there: one way portal. Once you were in, you weren't coming out.

Well said.

And Naxxramas is the only instance that made me hurt myself. First time I was in there. late one night, I was wearing headphones. Out of nowhere this hideous scream of tormented terror put a spike right through me - I jumped up and demolished my knee on my desk lol
