The most grand barber shop that Azeroth has ever seen.

Just a massive Azerothian mall full of Sunbucks coffee shops, IHOPs, dollar stores and the like.

In all seriousness (and throwing my love of the Starbucks/Sunbucks Coffee joke out of a moving car), it would probably make sense for the ruined part of Silvermoon to be revealed to have been turned into a Sanotorum for the Withered and the Wretched of both the Sin’dorei and Shal’dorei whom could not be helped by the purification of the Sunwell and the creation of the Arcan’dor Tree.

A place of quiet healing, compassion and respite where the families of those ravaged by the inherent addiction to magic that almost all Elven people suffer can come and see their kin, spend time with them and try to give them some comfort. It would also be a rather interesting meeting of professions and ways of life, with all forms of alchemy, magical therapy and knowledge being brought together to try and either reverse or ease the hardship of the afflicted.

Might also be how Blizzard explains away Shal’dorei Druids and Paladins, and Sin’dorei Druids. We know the Arcan’dor Tree is very unstable and requires a very careful nurturing process to survive to adulthood without causing nearby entities to turn into Driders Spider-Elves, and the Sin’dorei got a rude shock when one Ren’dorei got near the Sunwell and nearly caused an extinction-level event for their people. A place where the Sin’dorei and Shal’dorei can carefully try to re-create the miracle of the Arcan’dor Tree because the Alliance knows where their only surviving Tree is, and because they only have one tree.

Magical Super-Trees do not have a good time of it in WoW over the past few decades, and even then, the old World Trees all got nuked, or exploded, or Old God’d in the worst possible ways. I think we’re running at at a 3-4 losses vs 1 win at this point. We need to double down on protecting these dang things.

As a survivor of the great “RP is dead” phase of WoD garrisons, and someone who has read eleventy billion “I can’t find anyone for open RP” forum posts, I’m honestly of the opinion we need less individually phased areas where people can park their characters.

Honestly most of the reasons people would use a player house for RP involve concepts that are already designed to be more private.

If people are seeking walk ups they’ll still go to the usual hubs.

If people are having private one on one conversations, guild events or ERP, they’re usually the sort of things you don’t want randos blundering into anyway.

I also survived WoD and once the initial novelty wears off I doubt player housing will significantly impact the RP community.

Anyone who thinks player housing will reduce RP might not be taking into consideration the sheer amount of people who would resub or try out WoW altogether for that feature.

It is the traditional Kaldorei-Sin’dorei greeting.

I’ll admit former players may dip their toes back in to try it out, but I don’t think people are picking up a box (or whatever the modern day digital version of that figure of speech is) of a relatively outdated MMO just because there’s player housing. That seems like a stretch.

54

If they revealed player housing now, I would instantly be suspicious. Because there’s no way they won’t take a good thing and just Blizz all over it.

Exactly why I go back and forth on wanting a true Gnomish capital city.

Blizz has a long documented history of making a mess of things that should be an easy win. I want a Gnome city, but I don’t trust Blizz to do it correctly.

Neognomeragon, a Dalaran-esque flying city courtesy of science rather than magic.

Literally make it a 1:1 for the Dalaran layout but have it shrink all non-Gnomes and -Goblins down to Gnomish size, have the sewers be the engine room, have the ‘Horde’ side be a hydroponics wing to grow food for the inhabitants, let’s a go.

57

Now imagine buying Player Housing decorations and styles but crammed into the Trading Post.

Would you still be excited?

An island Gnome capital with trams leading to Gnomeregan and Mechagon would be mad cool

My 2 cents on Gnome Kingdom:

Pictures of Valley behind Gnomer. Honestly, I’ve said this at least 4 times in the past week alone but the amount of easy wins Blizz could get that they have instead fumbled or bunked up altogether, is endless.

THE VALLEY IS RIGHT THERE BEHIND THE MOUNTAIN. YOU COULD BUILD A SKY TRAM TO IRON FORGE.

Wait a wee bit moment. Didn’t the Gnomes create an environment that resulted in a catastrophic meltdown of their original capital? Why, trusting them with another capital is like, well, trusting the horde with chairs.
