I’m beyond ecstatic. Even if it never happens, I’m happy to see the support from RPers and Non-Rpers alike.

Your guild name made me laugh so hard.

Op paid me a bribe of 5k gold to get my support so here I am dropping my support for this feature, it’s a nice idea. Hope to see it implemented :slight_smile:

You should see the horrible puns my GM puts up for MotD, they’re so bad they’re great XD

This is clearly a lie. Everyone knows Tauren wouldn’t accept gold. They only work for grass, and cow bells!

My precious!!

Yeah? Sure. Sounds okay.

Shadowlands is going to have so many great areas. If this feature were to be implemented, just imagine the possibilities.

I mean it is , just not your way of RP. Just because me and my BBD (Big Beautiful Dwarf) enjoy making sweet love in the basement of the GS Inn doesn’t make it any less valid than you rping Werewolves in Gilneas

While I wish servers like Moon Guard weren’t solely judged on the happenings of Goldshire… You’re entirely correct. It is still RP. And if you’re having fun, and not harming anyone, more power to you!

This thread is for an idea to try to help increase fun without harming anyone. I hope we can get more power to the thread!

This is a wonderful idea. The game has so many beautiful art pieces and aesthetics which could make wonderful backdrops for player-driven content that, as the current situation allows, fall by the wayside because they are inconvenient or irrelevant to the team-driven content cycle.

I fully support this and hope very much it becomes a feature!

OP, you’re a genius.

Nay. Just a nerd with an idea!

An excellent idea. I pledge to do my part and hope this gets noticed!

There is something to be said for player-driven content! How many add-ons ended up making it into the game in some way?

It’s our job to show how this mode of play is an easy, value adding feature!

How many people were disappointed with the expeditions because it was so restrictive and timed? I know I was…to the point that I have done about a total of four expeditions in total.

If player agency is a goal for Shadowlands, as Ion and the team have stated, this idea fits right in line with it that philosophy.

Well spoken! I’ve done a bunch of islands, but mostly because it made leveling alts a little less painful. Otherwise, my Island experience has been, “OOh, that’s cool, wish I could look around, but no time to stand still.”

I think that the idea’s a nice request, though tbh I’d rather be let into all the instanced zones that can’t be easily accessed outside their intended purpose; battlegrounds and island expeditions, for instance—we can’t really go there.

Raids and dungeons are static and can be cleared (even if the numbers allowed is too smal for ALLL my friends :sob:) and that’s just a slight convenience compared to getting to RP in that new :kiss: :weary: :sweat_drops: Arathi Basin :kiss: :weary: :sweat_drops:

No hostility one way or the other, though. For all that I know about spawns (I’m smoothbrain btw), they could work on an individual & tied mob basis. If that’s the case, then the workload’s probably tedious AF and a waste of time compared to other features that need priority. If it’s as simple as putting in a “doN’t SPAWN the MObs” line of text or loading a different version of the zone, then I hope they GO for it.

Oooh. Yeah, definitely. Arathi Basin with the heavy Blizzard effects would be insanely cool for RP purposes…

I’m sure there’s probably some measure of complexity to get something like this to work, but for all intents and purposes, it also really seems like all the pieces needed to make something like this work already exist, and could be adapted.
