As you walk in the door, a glass hums past your face and smashes against the wall
"Welcome to my pub adventure, grab a seat and the first drink on the house.
Who am I?
Funny that you ask, my name is Darby, and have been adventuring around Azeroth since before Ragnaros started causing trouble in Black Rock Mountain. The rest of my story for another time. Lets focus on what brings you here
You seek bigger adventures, but have gone as far as you can manage. There just isn’t enough around your village to take up the cause
So here you are, coming to drown away your troubles just like every other adventurer in here (gestures hand to the very large crowd in the room as more walk in the door).
If you all got your mugs out of your pints, you’d probably make a formidable team.
Oh, you all don’t talk the same language? Funny thing is, I can talk to everyone in this room and you are about to learn how.
This is my pub, and we serve all sorts of drinks here, we can easily make some thing that could teach you all a new language instead of each trying to learn the many others.
We’re a bit short on ingredients right now, but you look just like the sort of person who would have no trouble acquiring them.
Fetch everything on this list and Ill have the rest of it ready for you when you return."
All the above can be quest text. The next bit is where the fun begins
Players can build a pub(Garrison style, collect resources to turn in, then further upgrades with more resources, (like in warfronts build different things in order of resource turn ins, this has tons of potential for a mini feature, Battle of the Bars)
Location- ideally this works best in my mind as one central location where players can all meet up, physically see each other, and socialize to form groups based on their needs.
If 1 location isn’t possible these could be near capital cities, and in both cases designed to be expandable, and among other features, it needs to have a way to teleport from one directly to the current expansions main area(currently Oribos)
Features it should not have - everything already in capital cities. This should be mainly for a staging ground. These groups have to physically walk/fly to whichever dungeon/raid they are going to just like M+ already do
This would help keep spammers out. To enter, max level players would be given a max level available quest, and upon completing would trigger a friendly to faction Darbys Pub reward. this keeps out lower level players as bouncers would kick them out. (or maybe it needs to be accessible to lower level players?) Give it is own regional zone channel not linked to trade or general
The quest can be gather some various beverages, the bartender basically mixes it all in the “magic glass” tells the player to drink it and then throw it at the door. (This could be a minigame to not throw up, and then throw the glass.)
The players drink bug juice then throw the glass at the door barely missing the next patron walking in. The bartender cackles maniacally
This can be a day or a week temporary language buff, depending on feedback. In either case, players get a buff and can now all speak a new language called gibberish. Horde and Alliance can now talk to each other to help form groups while in that particular zones channel and in party or Raid chat for X duration.
If spoken outside of these channels it should show up as actual gibberish and unreadable to everyone
World 1st race, well there is the hall of fame for first 100 Horde kills, 100 Alliance kills, and now X amount of cross faction kills
Nothing changes if you walk into an opposite factions city, guards still attack you etc…
I have many more ideas to expand the bar, ETC(why they weren’t playing in the Maldraxxus arena was a lost opportunity) could tour there, it can be accessible to brawlers guild, tonk war arena, pet battalion, backstabber, hide and drink, and many more.
downvote the crap out of this if it stinks.
First round is on me
