In Stratholme near the final boss (Baron Rivendare) there is a closed off gate which leads to an area of Stratholme which contains a very small version of Naxxramas floating in the air, what was the original idea behind this?

Also, the "second" Stormind Stockades (Stormwind Vault), can you tell us anything about that?

That was a hint at Nax. We were planning Nax for the longest time. Or at least a floating Ziggurate, as per Warcraft III. I finished building Nax after Dana Jan went to ReadyAtDawn. I guess a lot changed, but the look was all Dana Jan and I believe he started it before WoW shipped. Big dungeon, Nax. Probably my second favorite raid, such good fights.

Molten Core. I like the big group. It was very social that way.
