The reason we don’t have flying in these zones is because Silvermoon is, for the most part, not textured at all. It remains the same as it was in TBC. Streets that lead to nowhere, walkthrough walls, etc. If you could fly, you would witness the debacle that is the city of the BElfs.
Azuremyst is fine. But in the spirit of equality spits they also disabled flying there.
One of the main reasons why there’s no flying in those old zones is because they need to update them zones as a lot of it are illusion tricks of half buildings and such that are incomplete from other angles beyond the ground level for the player to see.
The greatest hilarity is when Blizzard come out with the same lame excuse “You can’t fly there because they are on the TBC/Outlands map.”
“Oh, what, you mean the one where you first made Flying possible? The ones where it was a big selling feature of the Expansion. 'Here, look at me flying in Shadowmoon Valley but not being able to in Silvermoon, Tell me your world makes sense now, yeh clowns!”
Not having flying possible in the Azeroth TBC-zones in 2020 is so bliztarded.
These zones are stuck in the Outland data server you say? Move Ghostlands and Eversong Forest to the Cataclysm data server then!
You say you made these zones the laziest possible way where everything becomes a broken illusion once the players are moving off the ground? Fix the mapping, or even better update the zones to the current story!
Heck, you Blizzard could even make a lame excuse for eliminating the zones including Exodar and Silvermoon. Like giving half the Blood Elf an inactive bound to the Legion which suddenly becomes active, and the Legion takes over the BE zones for some expansions.
And follow this up by the Horde nuking the Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isles just for the lols.
