There's a few reasons why those cities are dead.I say that because neither faction needs a new city, both already have at least 1 dead city. Blizzard is also been verbal of late, regarding player housing, and trying to keep player cities full of life. When both factions already have one dead city it would be silly to toss another in the mix.
They are new and never gained any type of nostalga over the years. There's hundreds of people who could debate for hours over which city is better, IF or SW.
No one has any use for a new city that is not even on the same planet or continent where all of the leveling/instances are.
They were designed by a monkey (See Darnassus)
With the action now coming back to "vanilla"; people might find new reasons to use these cities. Especially since you can now fly.

Re: Patch 3.3.3 - Build 11573
You pretty much pinpointed why it won't fly in Azeroth. Now if it didn't mention location then you could argue it might fly in Azeroth. Basically it's an all purpose mount. If you are in northrend or Outland it flies, if you are in Azeroth it's just a ground mount. I suggest taking a critical thinking and analysis class if you have the means.

1.) I doubt they'd add new cities and not first upgrade and revamp the old (dead cities), given they're doing such huge zone changes and altering the leveling experiences, zone connections, and starting area experiences. Originally Posted by Tablemaker

I think people are trying to justify this as a new player city because they "want" it, not because it makes any sense or there's a need.

I wonder if with the revamp we'll get the slow construction changes like last time with SW Harbor.

Afaik, (haven't been on ptr since ulduar) but the PTRs revert realms back as if they were new realms, and the AQ opening had AQ mobs in the Barrens, so I think that is what you're seeing. Originally Posted by Wzkrib

Why exactly are people complaining about falling prices? We are at the end of an expansion.
People will not be farming these mats after cataclysm so we need some other source of fast supply.

Re: Patch 3.3.3 - Build 11573
Oooh, I hope that Blazing mount isn't with the TGC. I'd love to get my hands on one and don't want to waste hundreds of real dollars trying to get a set of in game pixels. D: Especially when I already PAY to play the game as it is.

Saying "It will NEVER be placed into game, get over it." 99% of the time, leads to Blizzard adding it to game. The lesson in all this? Don't tell Blizzard what they will or will not add to game.

Has anyone managed to defeat the Crown Chemical Co. using the Dungeon Finder? I'm curious as to what the [Heart-Shaped Box] reward will contain, but every time I queued up the server was forced to reset shortly afterwards.

They also said you would never be able to transfer from a PvE server to a PvP server. Originally Posted by Lemming81

Hmmm, Anduin is growing up, huh?

I know what you're thinking...
But Arthas was just a setback!

Re: Patch 3.3.3 - Build 11573
This. And They also said they would never allow flying in azeroth, had no intent on revamping the old world to allow it, and that they wouldn't make goblins a playable race. Yet look what is happening in Cataclysm. ;3 Originally Posted by Pumps

In vanilla, you chose a different home city depending on where you spend most of your time in azeroth. Originally Posted by Tablemaker

Echo Isles and Gnomeregan are in the same zone as another capital.
Also, layout has a LOT to do with if people hang out there.
Both SW/IF are well designed cities. Once SW got an AH it was as populated as IF. Darnassus sucks because its location sucks, its layout sucks.
If Blizzcon is any indication hopefully, Blizzard will finally revamp some of these cities layout and HOPEFULLY get it right.
