New House in Elwynn Forest (Patch 9.0.5)

Was there a reason they added a new house next to crystal lake? Honestly am loving it, wish they did more stuff like this in old areas.

Ooh, I didn’t know they added this. Small and pointless, but very neat. It’d be a big boon for roleplayers if they made these kind of additions more often (preferably not always filled with NPCs).

I love when they add new stuff like this. The other day I was leveling a new character and walked into Silvermoon for the first time in like 10 years and I saw a group of Nightborn Npcs walking around. They were named “Tourists” or something. I thought it was really cool they put new Npcs in a city that I believed was more or less completely off Blizzard’s radar.

yea honestly, wish they did things like this more so it gives people a reason to revisit some of the zones. My personal favorite zones are places like silver moon city and STV, but a lot of the zones are just empty now since there’s really no reason to visit them anymore.

It would be nice if Blizzard would update the Human Starting Zone with New Updated Buildings, Trees, and etc.

I saw this last week, too. Thought that was a neat little detail.

There’s a npc rare in alteric named slipknot who sings the wait and bleed lyrics while he tries to murder you.

Mandatory hyperbolic comment:

Does this mean we are getting another Cataclysm world revamp in the next expac?

I think it was pretty cool to see and they need to do more easter eggs like this!

I haven’t been to this house yet, but if it’s anywhere near Goldshire… it would be a great place for the Horde to hide.

oh, so they can add this, but they can’t fix x/y/z

I feel like it’s about due for one. How many years has DW been dead now? Plus, we still have a giant sword stuck in our planet.

Hopefully they’re testing out a player-housing system and that turns out to be a little house by the lake we can buy.

I would totally be okay with that haha, imagine if you can buy a second hearth location

Too bad it’s just a old building instead of the New House Building that BFA and WoD did.

It’ll serve as something else on one specific RP server I can think of.

But yeah, I like the addition a lot. They should add new things to old zones more.
