Thread: A dynamic world after 2.0

You can keep trying to enhance bits and ends on it, but it's easy to get lost in the details and not getting the big picture done.

Not the best reference, but I hope you see what I mean.

tldr:

Some detail and "easter eggs" are good, just don't give us twenty six different /bell commands at the expense of content.

although some of your ideas are good, this statment is the best counter argument. you can't have 6 or more dev's writing a quest that only 20 ppl will ever experience. the world should and i think will be more dynamic in 2.0 but how will, we will have to wait and see

Yeah well whatever they release it better be really good because last release was trash. I don't see why they couldn't add a few things like this before release and continue adding as they go after release. It's not meant to be something 20 people encounter, look at it this way, they are doing some of this now but its only because they are rushing to add content to a game that was mega fail at release, not everybody participated in the mass grouping of imperial troops outside of Uldah... or the moon rat quest.. whatever that was... But in this idea instead of taking those out after a period of time they come back from time to time.
