Blackrock Mountain is a location that holds a little piece of all original World of Warcraft players’ hearts.  Whether it is a place of loathing or love, it’s there.  Blackrock Mountain was one of the busiest places in World of Warcraft before expansions due to it housing three instances and two raids. Now, years later, we get a chance to return to the mountain to explore yet another instance that will be unlocked there when Cataclysm is released, this one is called Blackrock Caverns.

The instance has a very similar look to both Lower and Upper Blackrock Spire.  As such you should expect to see lots of rock and fire.  Many players in beta have complained that the instance is bland in appearance, however, I don’t find that to be the case.  The whole place has a coherent look to the rest of Blackrock, and looks like a dungeon or cavern should, what else would it look like?  If you want colourful go visit the Throne of Tides, but if you want a no-nonsense old fashion dungeon, then visit Blackrock Caverns.
