Many say that Cataclysm sucked, for years I disagreed with them and defended Cataclysm as one of the best expansions. Yet, I see your on Cataclysm server. The added dungeons "Hour of Twilight" were actually improvements on the main stream dungeons. In Shadowlands they gave a rehash of the most difficult dungeons from WOD, Legion, BFA, and top tier Shadowlands dungeons. They locked out all previous dungeons for M+ difficulty. All other difficulties were available, but M+ is the "go-to" when it comes to end game and raid preperation. On Cataclysm the highest difficulty was Heroic, and anyone could Que any dungeon, classic Cataclysm or Hour of Twilight, at all available difficulties. Well a similar thing happend to Cataclysm, (for Retail WoW) unless you play on private, Hour of Twilight dungeons are not accesible. All I am saying here, is to preserve Shadowlands as it becomes an archived server. Make all dungeons accesible before commiting putting the server on the Firestorm shelf.

It is sad what Blizzard did, they buried the real Shadowlands content and resurrected the most challenging content from the last 4 expansions. Maybe it would be a bad idea to abandon Shadowlands like this, especially if you expect people to enjoy the server in it's Firestorm afterlife! My suggestion is while Dragonflight is in closed Beta, re-open ALL dungeons for Shadowlands M+, let us have fun, even if it doesn't count towards our M+ rating, it would be fun to be able to do all dungeons. If you do this, it will also leave an end-state of Shadowlands that will still be enjoyable to players going back to that server, or fresh new players who want to experience Shadowlands content.

If Shadowlands dungeons can't be added to the rotation, maybe an NPC can be added to generate keys, and increase/decrease difficulty on the key.
