It’s been around 10 years since the WoW servers saw the light of day and a certain dragon lady named Onyxia first enticed us with epic loot. Since then, the raid boss has surely fallen a million times. But what was it like back in the early days of raiding? The buffed editors remember.
Onyxia was the raid boss because many WoWers were the first to step into the dust. What many don’t even know today is that the dragon lady was one of the first two raid bosses in World of Warcraft, along with Ragnaros! Many players today also lack the memory of exactly what Onyxia looked like back then. Something about fire and some dragon boys and stuff. I think it flew too, didn’t it? For all those who can’t remember properly, we have recreated the raid from back then with the most modern technical means historically correct.
