Breakfast Topic: How would you revamp Outland?
This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider's pages.
A lot of players remember The Burning Crusade expansion fondly. After a few years of playing the original World of Warcraft, people were really ready for new places to explore, and BC really delivered. Now, however, leveling through Outland now is kind of a jarring experience. After moving up through the revamped old world content that Cataclysm has provided, the level 58-to-68 experience in the remains of Draenor is really showing its age.
Blizzard has expressed interest in revisiting Outland some day to update the content. If it were to do this, what would you like to see? Should the BC zones support a new expansion of high-level content, as opposed to a reworked 60s leveling experience (perhaps through phasing)? Could we see some more Draenei lore and storyline involvement, something really missing from the last two expansions?
What do you think the Outland of the future would look like? Would Zangamarsh swell with water again now that Lady Vashj and her Naga have been defeated? Who would sit in Tempest Keep? What have Akama and the Broken done with the Black Temple in our absence? Do the Naaru still reside in Shattrath City? What stories are there still to tell beyond the Dark Portal?
