How awesome would it be if Blizzard opened up a new zone in the Caverns of Time for players to quest in. The idea would be that the Keepers of Time, responding to some threat to the past, would send you back to the Western Plaguelands right after the Fall of Lordaeron. Players would begin questing with the Scarlet Crusade faction and each quest would tell the story of the history of the Scarlet Crusade. Each character would have to take on human form (as the Crusade are suspicious of non-humans) and earn reputation with the Scarlet Crusade through a main quest line as well as daily, repeatable quests.

You may ask yourself, the idea of having a zone located entirely in the past is cool, but why the Scarlet Crusade? The answer is because they have such a compelling story and because they may disappear when WPL gets cleansed in the upcoming expansion. The Crusade is an extension of Arthas’s mindset when he culled Stratholme. That mindset, when in doubt as to whether someone is undead, it’s best to err on the side of caution, was coupled with an overzealous religious purity to create the Crusade. Further, how fantastic would it be to be a part of a vigilante organization hunting down the Forsaken and clashing with historic characters from the Alliance and the Horde alike? What could be cooler than being involved in quest lines to create the Scarlet Monastery and to defend Hearthglen from invasion?
