Karazhan Exposed & The Scrapped Demon Raid

⚠️ What should I cover next? Leave your ideas in the comments. I read every one! Karazhan’s development story is wild. In this video we walk through how the tower evolved over years of work, why early versions failed, and how the shift to instanced dungeons let Kara sprawl far beyond its visible tower. I also cover how the original plan for a second portal at the top might have looked. Portions are read from John Staats’s excellent book: ** 🙏The World of Warcraft Diary: A Journal of Computer Game Development Kindle: https://amzn.to/43qGOlC Hardcover: https://amzn.to/3JVamkN What do you think about the scrapped “asteroid raid” and Kara being “too big”? And how about TBC Hardcore. Can we do it?
