Hail from Shadowforge!
As many Dark Iron players know, most of Shadowforge City (Dark Iron Dwarf starting area aka Blackrock Depths) is blocked off by various doors. There are ways to bypass the doors, but they are tedious at best and involve dying in strategic spots. While we are grateful for Shadowforge being incorporated in-game as a capital in any capacity, many Dark Iron Roleplayers would love to see these doors removed and a handful of NPCs added.
The Hand of Shadowforge (a Dark Iron only Guild on Moon Guard) utilizes the area for casual RP as well as events and I know our members are not alone in wishing to see the doors barring the way to The Imperial Seat and other areas of the city removed entirely or at least openable. This is our official petition for Blizzard to remove said doors and allow us access to all of the glory that is Blackrock Depths!
Please voice your support below and even give more reasons as to why removing these doors would be great for Roleplayers.
With love,
Vulda (GL of The Hand of Shadowforge)

I feel your pain, I wish they would allow us to turn on the peaceful version of Shattrath City in WoD. I pray blizz are more kind to you and allow you access.

That would be so awesome for some Draenei RP! Rather than having to use Embaari Village and such. Maybe one day

Seconding the request to remove the locked doors in the DI Dwarf starting area and turning on a peaceful version of Shattrath City.
And also please, please remove Daphne Funkybeats from the Pig and Whistle in SW. Nobody likes being forced to dance. The whole schtick is bad. Leave her to the AH Dance Party event.

They should remove all locked doors from everywhere. So much valuable RP real estate being wasted.

Let the people play! But uhh, maybe not every locked door. I have one, very special one, that is locked so Pookamhura cannot steal my last Twinkie. It is perfect in its wrapper and it shall stay that way forever.

Having more to explore is always a good thing, particularly if it leads to more player engagement. Unlocking more of the area would be great and I like the other idea in this thread about having some fightable NPCs for the occasional dwarven brawl.

My only regret is that I have but one bump to give to this thread.

I will also add my voice to this request. I would like to see more of our cities updated to allow for better immersion. Even if they don’t look at it from an RP aspect, look at it from a pure world building aspect. Some of these areas I feel more akin to the old style MMO’s where your quest giver is half standing under an awning and the buildings are just there as a facade. Build the world and all the cities within said world. Here’s to hoping for an improved cityscape within certain areas. I’m hopeful that the revamp of Silvermoon will be more than just repainting the walls and I wait in anticipation to see what they come up with for the Draenei.

I would absolutely love it is Gadgetzan actually became a thriving neutral port city instead of just an outpost.
That would be so awesome!

I wish that Blizzard would hire one or two devs who would only work with stuff like this. Tiny updates to the old world. Open up locations, houses, improve old hubs etc.

You would think this is a no brainer for blizz? A few people just focusing only on updates and rebuilds that can be phased. If only
