Does Naxx go away in Prepatch?

Prior to the Wrath of the Lich King Classic launch, players have been worried about the fate of one of the most iconic World of Warcraft raid instances, Naxxramas, specifically whether it will "go away" in prepatch. This article answers that question and provides useful information about Naxxramas and its presence in the prepatch world.

When was Old NAXX removed?

Naxxramas, as a vanilla WoW raid instance, has undergone significant changes over its lifetime. It was part of the Burning Crusade expansion and later became incorporated into the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack. According to patch note history, Naxxramas was removed as part of Patch 1.11.

But, what about the classic WoW version?

Well, in the Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Naxxramas is a raid zone, and players can access and explore it just like players did in the original pre-expansion period. Nothing changes, and Naxxramas remains.

Prepatch: WOTLK Classic

One crucial aspect to consider: in the Wrath of the Lich King Classic (WOTLK Classic for short), players will undergo a prepatch period or phase before the full extension of the expansion. These phases typically have limited progression and restrictions compared to once the expansion is fully released.

Prepatch Limitations

During the prepatch, players will only reach Level 70 and will not have access to Northrend, according to Blizzard. This ensures that players must progress content before gaining access to newly opened areas, such as Northrend. As WOTLK Classic progresses during the prepatch, gradually, more areas will come online, but for Naxxramas enthusiasts, the wait is in place.

What makes Naxxramas significant?

Naxxramas is noteworthy due to its lengthy history, as many World of Warcraft players participated in its development and initial releases. The story behind Naxx, an ancient citadel ruled by the undead lich, Kel’Thuzad, is engaging and a testament to Blizzard’s attention to WoW’s lore.

So, what happens to Naxx during the WOTLK Classic prepatch?

In summary:
• Naxxramas will remain the same throughout the whole WOTLK Classic life cycle, from pre-patch to the full-launch and beyond.
• At no point during the prepatch phase would Naxxramas become inaccessible.
• Restrictions during the prepatch have to do with Northrend’s opening and the limits imposed on character progression within WOTLK Classic and other expansions.
