Just my imagination running wild...

iindigo:
This is something I’ve wanted to do ever since the initial glitter of Cataclysm started wearing off and I realized how badly it ruined the world I loved. I’d also like to do as Morfium mentioned and repair the Park area and the charred bits of wall, etc.


--- Quote from: "nicmercy" ---So stumbling around Noggit for my first time, I noticed that all of stormwind is one big wmo (I hope I used the right term). Is the same true for MoP Stormwind/Orgrimmar? If so, could both of those wmo's be backported and inserted into 3.3.5a replacing their older counterparts? I know that the world terrain won't necessarily line up perfectly with the new wmo's but I am just curious if this is possible.

I *think* SW is still a giant WMO in Cata and newer, with a couple of key differences: Vanilla-Wrath SW and Org included the ground as part of the WMO, while Cata and newer SW and Org WMOs have the ground carved out of them so terrain can take its place. This means that if you were to backport the newer WMOs you’d also have to find a way to shape and texture the ground terrain the WMOs sit upon to precisely fit the WMOs.

Ah I see then! Thanks for explaining it. It makes perfect sense that it would be that way.
