Q&A video blood elf zones

Both eversong woods and ghostlands is getting a revamp and not just a revamp but connecting the zones back to the main map. Not just those but you can finally use both traditional flying and dragonriding in these zones.

I can finally fly through the plaquelands and see the land of the blood elves in its full glory in midnight oh I can’t wait to see the new and improved version will look like. Midnight oh thank you for granting my long waited wish for a blood elf zone revamp I thank you.

It’s cool…but the bad thing about knowing about the next 3 x-packs at the same time, is that it’s easy to forget that it’s likely 2-3 years away.

I have a gut feeling it’s gonna be as long as dragonflight.

Would be cool if this updated instance put Thas’alah back where Deatholme is now.

They have to really expand the footprint of the Bloodelf zones. Quel’Danas is tiny as an actual zone we’re used to.

I think it’s pretty big when you take into account both Eversong and Ghostlands.

Even still with dragonriding you’d be able to span Ghostlands in about 3 seconds.

I think that’s most areas of Azeroth.

But there is more of it. If they want an entire expansion in Quel’Thalas, it will have to be bigger.

They’re not really even that big on foot. With (dynamic) flying though? They’re gonna feel positively cramped. It’ll be interesting to see just how much of the expansion actually takes place within these zones and whether or not they terraform that part of Eastern Kingdoms to add more land to it.

I’m definitely not gonna expect it to be bigger than it is now. I’d take it mind you. But really just expecting graphics updates, flying and new quests and stuff. Some things about the expac might not stay exclusively in Quel’thalas too.

Well, at least save what glory is left. :robot::sweat_drops:

I want to see this as the start of a cities revamp. An MMORPG should have sprawling hubs, they make the world feel much more alive. I hope we will see a structurally revamped and expanded Silvermoon City (so not just an HD re-do with roofs), and that the restoration and expansion of Gilneas would arrive some time after that as well.

I am betting my 2 cents that they are redoing all of it from the ground up.

I’d bet on this too since it is expac focused now.

Hopefully someone planted flowers in the Dead Scar all those years ago.

I hope Silvermoon has good dentists.

The first zone will most likely be Quel’thalas but other zones will probably be added ie Mechagon , Nazjatar, Zereth Mortis and Emerald dream . Oh and don’t for get Isle ofThunder and Timeless Isle in MoP .

The initial stuff they show is never the complete expansion it is just a preview of what is to come in the opening patch

Hoping they make is similar to how they did Suramar.

It would make sense from a lore perspective as well for the zones to be bigger, and for there to be more zones added to Quel’thelas.

The Sunwell was reclaimed and restored, and the BEs likely started rebuilding their homeland soon after. It just hasn’t been reflected in game yet.

A good example would be the Exodar. It is, at least lore wise, supposed to be fully functional and airborne, and yet it’s still sunk into the ground.
