I am mis remembering from over a decade ago but didn’t the original Kara have some sort of “timed event” similar to the Return to Kara crystals.
I recall something in this regard and have a feeling it was really quite hard so got quickly removed. But nothing I can find supports this.
I know there was the Trial of the Naaru: Mercy, and obviously later on the ZA bear runs, but I feel there was something in Kara as well at some point? Or something available only for a limited time, eg from the first summon you only had an hour before nightbane would fly off and you couldnt try it anymore.
Thats what I thought, but there was something else in my mind that was a similar mechanic that involved doing something in Kara in a certain time limit. I have a vivid memory of going through the library constantly checking how quickly we were going to make the time for whatever it was.
Nope, I played Kara extensivelly in the original TBC and this doean’t ring a bell at all. Only timed thing I recall is the 45min Baron and red shard in BWL in vanilla and some achievements in Wrath.
The only event I remember in Kara was the Halloween event where you kill the vampire bats for the pet and some epics that has the arcanite reaper model
