Onyxia returns!

According to this thread, Onyxia will be making a return.

I have mixed feelings in general about bringing back old content.  On the one hand, it's cool to see the raid content from Classic WoW.  I didn't start playing the game until just before the release of The Burning Crusade, so there was a lot of the experience that I missed.  On the other hand, it seems that Blizzard would be better off spending their time and resources on a) developing new content relevant to today's lore and theme and b) fixing issues like the current instance limit problem.

In this case, I have to side with Blizzard, since the reasoning they are giving for bringing Onyxia back is in celebration of WoW's 5 year anniversary.  An opportunity (albeit miniscule) for an Onyxia-like mount, as well as a companion pet just for logging in on or around the 5-year mark itself are nice bonuses for WoW's "Wooden Anniversary".
