The ultimate gold sink! (remodelled zones & p housing?!)

Community General Discussion
1

A patch long ‘filler’ that consists of donating gold, old currencies and crafting materials.
Any and all materials!

Horde;

Donate gold and crafting materials to cleanse Tirisfal Glades, rebuild Brill and the Undercity!

Bonus area;
Clean up the Deadscar. I’m sure /some/ of the gold you’re donating to these goblins will go towards their heavy digging machinery.

Alliance;

Donations go towards building a new Night Elf capital on the shores of Darkshore. Who needs a tree, anyway.

Bonus area;
Reclaiming & rebuilding Gilneas.

What do you get out of it?
Rewards would be described, much like the mounts we were able to vote for.
As thresholds are reached, new rewards are unlocked;
A pet?
A mount?
Your name on a plaque.
An NPC?
An inn named after you or your guild?
Dare I say, Player Housing?
Who will donate the most? The Alliance or the Horde?

Fix the roads in Darkshore.

I suppose they could have their capital there. But everyone always chimes they need a really big tree. :stuck_out_tongue:

The issue is that the roads were destroyed in the sundering, which makes it very hard for levelers to get across the gaps. A few bridges would go a long way towards alleviating that.

Just have the forsaken eat the blight.

I don’t think there’s enough left of those for that. besides. What better than have novice Alchemists try and dissolve the blight?

No thanks, still full from using Cannibalize on your friends. :skull:

I rather have a golden toilet then a gold sink, but I guess I would take both if offered.

Edit: Also maybe we can use in game gold to buy Blight Offset Credits. Pay undead to not blight areas so we can keep blighting other areas.

The idea of an patch level long fund raising drive to raise funds and material to rebuild areas is pretty cool.

And, if you spend/rep enough, they could have a plaque at the “edge of town” or whatever, with “your name on it” (mind, everyone would get one of these, but it would still be cool).

And it would be an interesting mechanic not for player housing, but a player “inn” or other such thing. Bigger than the farm, smaller than the garrison, not the archaeology shop. But on that scale.

They could even make it a community event thing like with just written descriptions of rewards for x donation goal made.

I rather think the haute folk of Silvermoon ought to make room for theyr downtrodden allies. The Dead Scar 'twixt the blocks of theyr city which yet standeth doth hath plenty of room I’d wager.
No doubt they would appreciate the… je ne sais quoi, let us call it, yon erstwhile cadavers would thither bring. No doubt whatever.

Y’know… if they did such a project and the end reward was player housing in the refurbished areas that would probably be a rather effective gold sink.

I think our efforts would convince them that maybe we do really want player housing. :stuck_out_tongue:

Whatever insane goal they’d put on it. Daddy’s creditcard would get it us.

This would be cool from a server uniqueness perspective. If you could repair certain places and it was specific to the server instead of just some change that happens over time

My character does.

Then you make your donations towards a new tree! Honestly, it’s a great way to find out what players truly want.
Even streamers weren’t able to properly monopolise the mount poll, so I think this would be ‘safe’ enough too?

I’m not a lore expert so if anyone sees something I say that’s wrong feel free to correct but according to

it was planted “shortly after the third war”

says the third war was 20-21 ADP (After Dark Portal)

World of Warcraft starts 25 ADP so going off that (and no other lore knowledge :slight_smile: ) I would think it only takes 4-5 years to make a teldrassil. I don’t think there’s much call for donation, we could have another tree up in 10.0 or 11.0

19

Surely it would need tending to as it grows? fertiliser, and all sorts of… stuff to keep it growing safe and secure?
-edit- Bug battle pets to eat the pests that try to feed on it. Like the Arcan’dor in Suramar!

The Thandol Span could use a fixing, and the other bridge rebuilt. That would be cool.
