Surely pirate swift should be crossed out. No pirates, remember?

Lmao, perfect.

Don't forget iridikron, xal, and aszhara!

If there were three approaches for the visual part of World Revamp, which one would you go for?

1. Re-texturing - leaving continents basically as their are, and simply breathing a new life into them - re-texturing, changing assets 1:1 with new, high-res ones.
2. Soft Revamp - something along the lines of Cataclysm; reshaping and re-texturing the world. Giving some zones new sculpting / new terrain shape - more or less, rebuilding them.
3. Hard Revamp - basically, putting the stuff we have now to the trash can (with possibility to return to old world in some way of course) and remaking the zones from scratch, using old world as somewhat of a blueprint:
- prunning some unnecessary zones completely;
- merging 2-3 zones, into a single, large zone with different biomes (like Azure Span), which allows for the world to be more immersive and natural, especially with the introduction of Dragonriding in the old world (like fusing Trisifal Glades and both Plaguelands into a Lordaeron, or something, you get the idea);
- making zone-crossings / borders more seamless visually, so we don't go from lushy, green forest straight to barren lands within 20 yards;

Probably 3, though not quite as harsh as you are pitching it. Zone barriers are partially removed where it makes most sense, or otherwise smoothed out to create a better transition.
Mostly just a graphical revamp, though with actual changes where it makes the most sense, and according to what stories should be told there. Badlands could have more Titan stuff for instance, and seating gorge could have more firelands assets, etc.

Really what I want is a graphical revamp on the level of Cataclysm, just with more focus on evergreen content, rather than big event. Though also not to the level where some of the more forgettable zones can't be given a specific visual identity, like Feralas having Botani assets, the aforementioned examples in the Badlands and Seating Gorge.

I thought about that, but the windows are so small and they'd be barely visible.

Hope you don't mind @Arafal, but I added some pieces

Thats pretty awesome, someone needs to put amidrissal in there as that beautiful tree is gonna play some part for sure.

[Fahrad Wagner]

@Arafal I love you so much hahaha thank you for keeping the tradition alive of having Taylor Swift on that hype train!

Now may I request... partying blood elves? cause you know Quel'Thalas will get revamped! If not possible then the BE banner please!

[Arafal]

The windows weren't that big of an issue afterall.

Great idea, also needed the stamp of the leak. Gonna let @arafel continue it after this, just wanted to add in my own fun

I feel like the #teamworldrevamp needs to be shown somewhere. Maybe one of those blood trolls worshipping the logo.

yes yes yes

[Sondrelk]

yes yes yes

I mean... We were right. It may have taken us a paltry 6-7 years. But we were right eventually, and that has to count for something...

[Fahrad Wagner]

that Azshara plunging at the front of the train is GLORIOUS

Don't celebrate too fast my friend, Blizzcon is not yet here
