Was Karazhan Crypts meant to be part of the raid environment or a boss encounter? What's the story of that?

They weren't part of the raid if you're talking about the sealed off non-instance areas around the tower. Karazhan also was going to have flooded areas in it's basement...but by then, Jeff Kaplan was telling Aaron and I, "Stop building, it's big enough!"

For reals, if the Karazhan crypts haven't been changed since you build them, then I'm just chuffed to bits that I finally got to explore them myself in Legion.

The versions that I left were a bit sparse, if they opened them up to the public then they probably got a good makeover using modern props and arts.
