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.
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.
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.
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
