My god! I was just walking around in plague lands and this Guardian of Smolderforge came and 1 shotted me before I could even tell what was going on.
Why you do these things!?!
(btw, on the topic of strange npcs, in Northshire River Valley (the one that's inaccessible to players, that you can see on the FP) There's a mob called ACID Tester. What is it's purpose? Similarly, while I was flying to feathermoon stronghold, you pass by the Panderian Starter Area (which would be a great mall area, like the IF airport) C'thun is there. Like legit C'thun. Was this intentional?)

I also looked for it and I couldn't find it. May I ask what this nonsense is about? I can chill at Ironforge Airport, Wetlands Farming Terrace, Shatterspear Villiage, etc... but no naxx?

Also... Sorry mate, but 1 shot and a "... lolwut happened?" Isn't exactly fun.

Because unlike these other locations you mentioned, there is actually spawned NPCs and bosses in Naxx that are prone to causing problems and/or crashing the server. I've already had people crashing Smolderforge from a boss in AQ. The Pre-TBC scripts are terrible, always have been since they are so old. It's never very wise for the server performance to just let people go through them.

Maybe you could just remove the hacky scripts?

It was one of the times, related to some mob in there or something. The scripts really aren't so great because they are ancient.
