Have you thought about offering players

    It does feel like with Legion that this is contained by WOTLK Gold the islands, as opposed to something like Cataclysm where the effects were so broad that affected all of Azeroth. Could this be an intentional choice? Do you think the effects from the Legion will be felt more widely in Azeroth at any point?

    In RS, one of the principal philosophies that we have at Blizzard is to concentrate the fun. Once you make the items of content in a way that is too broad it will become quite overwhelming to players. We saw in the pre-launch that we had these attacks that occurred across different parts of Azeroth We then decided mostly for the fantasy and as well as for the narrative that the Legion was going to be focused exclusively on Broken Shore and its immediate surrounding areas, which is the Broken Isles. This was partly due to the fact that we found that the game makes it perfect for that.

    MD The biggest ideas that the patch has is that we are going go back to Broken Shore. Broken Shore and reclaim the Broken Shore. It's the point where the Legion expansion really started. The method you started the Legion was you went to Broken Shore. Broken Shore, you fought Gul'dan and all of these huge bad guys, and we experienced major losses. We lost Tirion and Vol'Jin, we lost Tirion and we lost Varian Big losses, and we had to retreat. So this patch is all concerned with the continuing of the story , and moving it forward.

    Something that is interesting though, also in this patch is these Class Orders. The Class Orders are an important part of "Why we'll be successful where we failed." To be specific, a lot of times with those Class Orders, we do go re-visit those other places. As part of the Monk class of this patch, we're likely be able to go back to Stormstout Brewery. This is a great opportunity to spread players around; remind them of the vastness and vitality of this planet is. And you can observe the evolution to "Oh this is the Legion!" Legion is actually spreading its tendrils a bit."

    R: I think it's more focused on the players who are going far into these other parts of Azeroth rather than having this spread all the time. It's to improve the player experience more than anything else.

    Have you thought about offering players from other classes the chance to, at the very least, go to these Order Halls to experience the various Classes? Not necessarily to be a part of them, but at least to experience that game-related stuff, for Halls that are not part of their primary Class (particularly for those who cheap WOW WOTLK Classic Gold are less experienced who are like me).
