When can we expect to see these cities to get a face lift? Especially silvermoon city that city looks way more dated than say anything else.

Blizz wont update SMC for “game engine reasons.” Which is a poor excuse.
SW and Org already had facelifts but they could use another one.

I’d just like to see all cities have the same features. Not have to go to Org or Sw every time. Not because I dont like them but because it seems other cities get incentivized so the others get disregarded.
Honestly Id like to see Draeneicl city get an overhaul tbh.
Id also like to see what happens with Undead and Nelf. Dont have to delete the older zones at all just maybe transition at some point to the current timeline? I can see how muddy that might be though.

They are always making excuses
Sigh type 3 people…
Right now we’ve got Undercity, Wrathgate Undercity, Cata Undercity, Siege of Undercity Undercity, and now (for lack of a better term) Overcity Undercity.
And they all seem to coexist ok.
Kind of.
Imagine if World Defense was still a thing, trying to call out which version of Undercity Sylvanas is under attack in.

lol.
Well…so where we are at ar max lvl past BFA story.
There is no home for nelf or Undead? And that’s it?
Id kinda like to see Lorderon or however you spell it get rebuilt.
Nelf wise I have no idea what they would do.

Overcity Undercity is my new favorite thing ever. Thank you.

But the other major cities haven’t mattered for a long time. Stormwind and Orgrimmar are the only capital cities at this point, with current_expansion_hub_city being the popular spot outside of those 2 capitals.
Updating the other major cities is about the same priority as updating all the trees in Ashenvale or Feralas. I suspect Undercity will get an update when their storytelling goes back and features Undercity specifically – same for new Darnassus (or whatever their new home city will be called) when it features in the story. But until there’s a storytelling reason to go back to those cities, don’t expect them to get facelifts or redesigns or updates.
For better or for worse, SW & Org are it.

The entire game is dated. The whole thing needs a reset.

This is exactly the case. Orcs and Humans are main characters. All the other races are secondary characters. Blizzard wants people to hang out in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and the new expansion hub.

The problem is that you should not incentivize people to go to different cities if you keep the sharding system.
It will only ADD to the emptiness of the game. The only reason Org and SW and Dalaran look populated is because they are the main hubs where certain things can only be done there.
If you merge servers and fix sharding then we can talk about giving options to people.
But the truth is, the world universe of warcraft is much bigger than the population of players in it.

Nobody uses the other cities realistically… Not to any discernible amount. You might see a soul here or there… most of them are people leveling from time to time, or RPers.
I would like to see not just the old world capitals but basically all the cataclysm changes get a rework. Everything being on the edge of apocalypse for a literal decade has never felt right.
And if they upgrade Silvermoon, they’d need to make a fresh reason to even go to it. I doubt they’ll ever upgrade anything that doesn’t have a fresh purpose.
Which means I’d take next expansion or the one after being a revamp of the old world like cata was. Just more modernizing everything and it settling back to normal, since deathwing died ages ago none of those elements work anymore. Fix the SW park also!
You’re gonna live in an omni-factional, neutral, sanctuary city, and you’re gonna like it.
Maybe it was cool the first few times with Shattrath and Dalaran, but now it’s gotten pretty predictable.
Would like it more if they had a Horde side and an Alliance side, as Dalaran had it.
I dont think the draenai city should even be there. We flew it away in legion unless it was something else.
There is no incentives to go to the other cities though all the portals are in org and sw.
Orc vs Humans rest of the races are secondary.
Yea, the only reason those cities even exist still is because they existed in the RTS, so the world has to include them – until they’re destroyed for story reasons. Personally I think they should use those abandoned cities for new epic battlegrounds, with story reasons to back up the newly contested areas.
If they want to keep a version “intact” for RP purposes, that can easily be instanced or given the Zidormi treatment.

My Never-Going-Happen wish list includes complete makeovers of the old capitals that are in line with what the art team did for Suramar.
Would be a waste of resources since the only people that would visit is RPers
although they could use the updated city’s when they finally release classic remastered (old wow updated graphics)

Blizzard said they’re not going to crazy about other worlds and dimensions for future expansions, and mostly going back to their roots and focusing on azeroth. I definitely see them updating the old world again like cataclysm did.
