Blizzard.

As you might be well aware of, Cross RP was a very unique addon that let the factions roleplay despite the barrier in the game, this provided many roleplay guilds the chance to do the kind of roleplay not usually available to us, being able to roleplay with horde races, such as in combat, or adventuring together.

Is there any word on you repairing this system, and if not, why?

Any chance the Cross RP addon may be allowed to use communities for cross-faction communication again? It’s one of the best thing to have ever happened to Role Play and it brought so many people together.

Cross RP doesn’t work, will you look into fixing this? The creator of cross rp has already made a post about how your “Community” function changes this patch permanently prevents it from ever working now or in the future.

If you cannot find a way to make this addon work, could you at least look into letting players on RP realms opting in or out of cross faction communications, something like a universal language?

The death of this addon is going to kill some communities due to segregation, and severely hurt others. Some players will even quit wow as this was the only reason they were subscribed (I’m one of them).

Azeroth is supposed to have two moons, but the second one, the Blue Child, seems to have been missing as of late. Where did it go?

Hey Blizz. Any chance we could get a reason behind, or a for the recent disabling of addons such as CrossRP? Specifically function that allowed communities to intereact with addons and vice versa. Thanks.

Hello there, I and many other, hundreds, thousands of roleplayers really had a lot of fun with Cross RP, and I’d love to be able to use it again. Or just be able to talk with the others more, Cross RP helped make so many great scenarios and fun moments between us, I’m so sad to see it might be gone! Will it be able to make a return? Of course an actual in game language of some sort would just be amazing by itself for roleplay instead.

Hello! As many before me have stated, the loss of the Cross RP addon will heavily affect the roleplay servers in a negative way, since many communities revolve around it for both the neutral roleplay and the events of roleplay-pvp. Why have you chosen to deprive us of such an addon? Roleplay means communication, and all we can see now is the tendency to prevent us from creating our stories and events. Please, could you restore the Cross RP addon, or give us another, similar way to communicate between factions?

Hey, is there at any point going to be more character customization, that can be obtained by doing questline, like the one with Warlock Greenfire.

Are the 8.x.5 patches releasing alongside a raid like in legion? E.g. is 8.1.5 coming out at the same time battle of dazar’alor is released?

  1. Will we be able to really customize Arcane with traits, or it’s going to be the same boring and clunky game-play?

  2. Are there any fixes/improvements planned for Arcane spec, and when?

When will you stop treating fun and creative aspects of the game (toys/items/potions/quality of life things and overall out of the box thinking in regards to gameplay) as somehow insulting to you and your competence?

You can not control the living world if it is really alive. embrace this fact.

Is it possible for the Q&A to be based on actual player feedback rather than it being about pet dungeons and repeated transmog questions?

Also, I am not interested to hear that you played your shaman the other day and got to experience something in the past expansions, etc…

Is there a release date confirmed for 8.1.5? A lot of players intend to main the new races and the excitement of getting a new raid is severely diminished by the inability to experience it firsthand with a kul tiran or zandalari troll, especially after we already did so much for them throughout the storyline.

Any thoughts on giving us pandaren druids at some point?

So far, druid wildshapes have been more or less based on demigods, like Ursoc, Aviana etc. and now Zandalari druid wildshapes seem to be inspired by their loa. Could the pandaren celestials not work in the same way, so that a Guardian spec would draw from the essence of Niuzao, a feral from Xu’en, etc?

Recently with the addition of the new patch there’s been several Roleplaying add-ons that revolve around communicating cross faction that no longer work. It’s really destroyed the fun for people that saw themselves as a neutral middle ground amoungst the war and it’s heavily effected the RP community.

Do you guys have any intentions to fix this problem?

Will anything be done to reduce the huge disadvantage placed on guilds that are unable to bring a full complement of raid buffing classes?

when are you going to stop try fixing things that dont need to be fixed?

the removal of master loot has been very hurtful for severeal guilds.

members that come and go as they please just because they want loot from specific bosses and not all bosses.

there is no loot carrot anymore to keep the guild together and push it forward…

many guilds today is just a pug fest…

DKP and loot council is a great way to keep people push as a team and not as a single player to see the whole as a guild.

and please bring back class sets this azerite BS should never been created.

Stop try to create a single player game

To add to an earlier question of mine.

How are patch notes written and decide what will be shared and what will be hidden changes? Wowpedia listed a whole bunch of unlisted changes including some changes to dungeons. Why was it decided to not share this kind of information with the 8.1 patch notes?

For those curious: mmo-champ has a link to it on their frontpage and a quick google search should find the wowpedia article aswel (can’t post links here, sorry)
