Just wandered into the “Alliance Embassy” in Dornogol and it’s completely empty. What’s it for? Is there a quest associated with it, and I’m just in a pre-quest phased version?
Nothing at all. Perplexing right to have us do quests to setup an embassy for our faction only for it to end up serving no purpose whatsoever

It was part of the Isle of Dorn questline. We helped establish it, decorate it.
My theory is that it was going to be used for more, but they had to scrap it.

I completely forgot this existed.
I do vaguely recall the quest to set it up.

What are the SW or Org embassies for? Nobody uses them. Should put quests in where if you manage to get to an embassy and talk to a recruiter you’re neutral yellow with everyone in the city.

They’re set dressing.
Also probably a way to appease the lot of players who need to be reminded the factions exist at least once an hour.

Why do you say things like this?

Set dressing, yes. I think they also get turned into portal rooms after awhile, when Blizzard wants to consolidate things after expacs are no longer current.
The embassies in Org are where you go to get the AR’s, so there’s that too.

Well do you have to spread that cynicism against other players with the rest of the class? This thread isn’t about that.
Every embassy in WoW is just for show.
A lot of embassies, period, are mostly for show.
Why should embassies in WoW be any more useful?

The embassies in Orgrimmar and Stormwind do have a purpose, though. That’s where you go to see what the requirements are for unlocking allied races. I don’t know what the purpose of the embassy in Dornogal is, but it could be something we haven’t seen yet. The expansion isn’t over…

Everything is for show. Imagine if we didn’t have the graphics we have but instead, just a series of coloured pixel boxes.
This game would be beyond boring.
You kind of missed the point.
I always miss the point but the reason I shared that is because I’d been thinking about it for awhile.
What would this game look like if it only had the very basics of graphics?
Tetris type pixels? Or just a lot of code?
It’s where the Earthen go if they want to get a visa to travel to an Alliance territory.

It was meant for the Harronir as an allied race—at least that’s what it seemed like. But that didn’t pan out, or I’m probably completely wrong and it was just a generic quest area.

I can see Harronir as cross faction race, as well as Arathi humans with (possible) kul’tiran style body for new chunky paladins. Maybe goblins also.
Its hard to know what blizz is thinking these days. Considering whats possible I don’t really understand why they limit themselves so much. Its probaby the accountants. Minimum work for max profit.
