So this came up in an RP discussion, but with all this time co-habitating and now building homes in each other’s neighborhoods, it is time that elixir of tongues be tweaked.
Common and Orcish should be understandable as well as emotes between the Alliance and Horde.
Race specific languages can be more difficult to learn so perhaps elixir of tongues can help interpret those languages.
I understand that if you are grouped up, you can understand each other verbally, but you still need an elixir for campaign groups that have over 40 people or to see other’s emotes and it becomes inconvenient to be out somewhere with 10 alliance friends and you forgot to pick up a couple of elixirs, because they can’t trade to you (or if on a different server for that matter). And emotes are life’s bread to the RP arena.
Are there work arounds, yes. You can always emote in /say like this /say Okwaho catches his horns going into the High Chieftain’s tent* “OOF…” But that too is a lot of extra work and don’t miss a punctuation mark or it all comes out differently
End result, even on a battlefield enemies learn or study each other’s languages, and we haven’t just been battling each other, we have been standing arm in arm lately. Oh, and don’t forget our leaders and everyone else in a cut scene has been chatting together for a long time and I don’t see an elixir of tongues in their buff box.
Thanks for reading,
