    - Expanding further into the depths of Ironforge?
    - The Darkspears building a city on the Echo Isles or turning Sen’jin Village into a major port town?
    - Exodar in the sky with a more modern Draenei city/town below it in the style of Shattrath from WoD?
    My hope is if capital cities are revamped the character creation is also done. Just a little more specifity in subraces. Exodar in the sky would be nice and warcraft is heavily missing the city in the sky aesthetic I'd hoped was coming during WoD with the hinted aroakoa sky citadel. Little sections for broken, manari, lightforged and regular draenei too.

    Gnomeregan and the Echo isles becoming full blown cities akin to Ironforge or Thunder bluff to replace the cities we lost in BFA would be great

    Chris Metzen, the father of Warcraft, is returning to save the franchise and BlizzCon from mediocrity and you offer him a pixel.

    Seems like such a weird line to draw. Did you skip Legion and Wrath? New continents with racial areas aren't a new thing.

    Got me reminiscing about prior hype trains and I don't remember which one it was, but my contribution was a fel empowered lore walker cho. I kinda miss him and I'm sad the lore walkers weren't brought in with each expansion to write history as it happens.

    No, but a completely new continent with old racial areas, when the old world and factions are in desperate need of updates, would suck IMO.

    I want to know what's going on with Gilneas, not New Gilneas. I want to see how the Plaguelands have progressed, not a New Blood Elf town on Avaloren.

    I'd be fine with Avaloren/Whatever having racial areas, but not as a replacement for a revamp. If they treat a new continent as EK/Kalimdor 3.0 I'm done.

    There you go, now Swift is smaller and Metzen is present in spirit as well as physically on the train.

    And he has a handsome smile now too.

    I've got my girlfriend to give wow a try a few months ago and I agree from how she's been explaining her experiences. With how she's put it, if not for me explaining where to go and what to do she would never have made it past her first month of playtime and continued due to how bizzare and fragmented the levelling experiences are right now.

    On a side not, flying into borean tundra via zeppelin into warsong hold and just flying straight out to do secrets of Azeroth, she was asking wow this place is huge, whats it for? And despite numerous lore catchup compilations theres no way of explaining or showing how epic flying into that zone the first time was. It was kind of sad to just be like yeah, here's a very brief explanation, that's cool right. Shame, anyway let's go click this sack in the sand in dragonflight and hearth back to Dragon isles so Toddy can assault our ears.

    Hopefully if a remake ever comes, new players will get to experience those classic moments we all did too.

    A new player starting, trying dracthyr with their horrendous transmog issue, is not getting the experience many of us got back then. I think and hope that can and will be changed.

    Any chance we can add a goblin with an immortan Joe mask riding the train? For the gadgetzan tanaris mad max speculation. - I just noticed the tuskar already has one, no worries!

    The Mad Max set is on the Tuskarr, cooking the copium soup.

    No problem I just noticed that part! I shall get my brain sizzling with further speculations.

    The only Taylor Swift complaint should be that we’re using Debut/Fearless era Taylor instead of Midnights.

    That’s the true sacrilege here.

    For capitals definitely district for each playable race, some grouped together of course. I doubt other cities would get much love if we get full world revamp at once. Remember how current WoW works, you don't spend month leveling and travel is quick - people will stick to capital and major hub no matter what.

    If 11.0 is partial revamp, imo Thrall on keyart and kodo shop mount out of blue suggest Kalimdor. In this case I would expect complete Orgrimmar revamp + Amirdrassil made as Alliance capital from scratch. Thunder Bluff and Exodar could be patch hubs for 11.1 and 11.2.

    Then in 12.0 we could have EK revamp. Stormwind and Silvermoon City for capitals (this time Horde would get new city, cause current Silvermoon is just few corridors), Ironforge and Lordaeron/Gilneas for patches.

    So, here's something. Ybarra ruled out pirates, but he's said nothing about privateers.

    You hate dracthyr because you hate scalies, I hate dracthyr because I'm a scalie and know naga are better. We are not the same.

    I could see a Goblin Rocketway track from the Goblin Slums in Org to Bilgewater Harbour.

    Also a district in Org that highlights all of the various Orc clans.

    Look, no one has yet bothered to use the wonders of generative image technology to give us a proper fucking leak yet. We got to do something worthwhile with it.

    Who needs pirates when you can have the East Lordaeron Company colonize Avaloren and get the locals to kill each other while we loot all their gear

    Yup! I mean we could be privateers. Buccaneers. The usual adventurers. "Pirates" are baddies, we wouldn't be pirates.

    Also there are like, pirates in every expansion in the game (I think don't quote me on this). It would take effort to make sure no side quests in a new expansion include any pirates haha.
