Maraudon for aesthetics. It’s beautiful.
Dire Maul for its imfamy, from the power of the loot compared to early raid gear to people exploiting different aspects of the dungeon to farm gold. It’s lovely.

I will say Wailing Caverns...
I like most of them, except Deadmines.

Btw, you can create a Poll when making a thread ( https://prntscr.com/m6ijeu )

Scholomance for me. It just oozes pure evil.

Big fan of Stratholme personally because of the direct link to WC3 lore :smile:

Really difficult for me to decide on one, so I will have to list a few.

Wailing Caverns
Shadowfang Keep
Scarlet Monastery (Armory and Cathedral specifically)
Zul'Farrak
Maraudon (Inner)
Blackrock Depths.

Yes, I had to list a few. They really are nice dungeons despite being old. They are very thematic and full of spirit.

I am quite a fan of Razorfen Downs. If nothing else, then running RFD was the first time in WoW I started feeling high level. And that was during BC. ;P

Also I'm really looking forward to running Scholomance! Despite a couple of high level characters on private servers, I never got around to that...

BRD hands down. No dungeon has ever matched its magnificence in my opinion. Huge, with a lot of quests and a lot of other things to do.

Dire Maul. Amazing lore, huge place, I remember being so fascinated by the Shen'dralar when I first encountered them.

In DM I remember that library which I thought was the coolest thing ever (like the iron dwarves in that pub in the middle of BRD) and you could even farm rep with them right?

OMG ding 40 btw!

For me it would be RFK and RFD combo. As a horde player, I have a special place for Barrens in my heart and therefore these two associate with the feeling that time has come to leave - after spending a huge chunk of time there - and travel further. In addition, the quillboar theme is really well done and having a glimpse at Kel'Thuzad as the last boss was something inspiring up until the very end.

My favorite is Black Rock Depths.
I loved the scale of it, the exoticism of it, the sense of going through an entire city, the fact that it was non-linear, and of course the loot.

BRD all the way - nothing really comes close to its complex and divergent design!

BRD, Uldaman, Inner Maraudon

Deadmines. First Dungeon I ever did and it was so damn exciting. Getting my first blue was so rewarding and gave me a bigger rush than most of the things I've done after that

God I miss the days of being a noob who doesn't know anything

Pro tip: bingewatch braindead TV shows, like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Love Island etc. the months before Classic releases. Make yourself as stupid as possible and you can truly relive the Vanilla experience again!

Probably an unpopular opinion but I actually really liked Gnomeragan. It was so different in atmosphere and gave a really cool insight into Gnome lore and aesthetics that were at the time pretty lacking (they had no starting zone back then and were lumped in with dwarves in Dun Morogh).

It was also kind of huge and expansive, and had some pretty interesting quests. God it’s going to be hilarious when hunters forget to dismiss pets at the right time and they come running with half the dungeon’s mobs behind them hahaha

As a horde I have awesome memories of it: it was the first dungeon I stepped in (wall of text incoming!)

Back in the days, when the retail patch was around 3.1.0, I was already looking for Vanilla Wow Server (yep, a bit in advance :D). I remember stumbling on one called Enturion. We are talking of days when a non fun-server that had more than 100 players online concurrently was considered amongst the best. The scripting level was, of course, at least very bad. My comprehension of English (which is not my native language) was also very low for a game like WoW that has a ton of text!

So I was stuck around level 25 with many quests that I didn't know how to complete in The Barrens when I stumble upon one that seems easy: https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=2842 . Eck, I just have to talk to a guy somewhere named Booty Bay, taking the boat from Ratchet! That should be pretty fast. I complete it in a matter of minutes, and I discover that he gives me another quest, https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=2843 . This time I don't understand exactly what to do, but that machine near him... it seems interesting, so I step on it. In a matter of seconds, the following happens:

A big error, of course, since the first group of Troggs kills me very quickly (What is that golden dragon along with their portrait by the way??)

At this point, I ress at the Kharanos Graveyard. I don't know where I am. Keep in mind that I'm veeeeeery noobish, so I don't know what the world map is AND I don't know what the hearthstone is.

Time to do some walk I suppose! I ress at the Spirit Healer and, thanks to I don't know which god, I make my way through Dun Morogh, Loch Modan, Wetlands, Arathi Highlands (where I die like 50 times to this bitch https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=2612 and his knights) and Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad Foothils. I then log out and never take back my character.

It was an awesome moment, and when years later I went back to kick https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=7800 ass, it was a very good sensation!
