Well, you could always set the story at some future point, e.g. we fail to stop N'Zoth, so the Black Empire is reborn. OGs commit massive genocides upon all Azeroth races, or at least the playable ones, to the point that only a couple of towns survive. No more Alliance or Horde (only some loose loyalties or affinities left, e.g. between orcs and Tauren), no more flight points, venturing through the Barrens or into the Plaguelands would be a real endeavour - and a quite dangerous one.

ofc i love to invest 100h in a chateau, just to find it raped by xXEgdelordlolXx and his Need-Snickers-Gang next log-in.
Survival is SM, as any random Rust vid.
