Until blizzard find a serious use for Capitals that affects or engages with and relates to gameplay, they’re very hard to justify doing more of. Which is why I came up with a very interesting solution here:
Currently I think they’ll have far less trouble if they:
- Updated Silvermoon and Quel’thalas - and devised a compelling story for the High elves, Void elves, Blood elves, San’layn etc to all be there and in those 2 zones - reaching some sort of equilbirum
i.e. share - a void elf city would be nice, but face it, all those cities… for what? I’d rather a great city, with a lot of meaning and use than lots of pointless ones.
- Nightborne and Night elves share Suramar, it is a kaldorei city, and while the races are in opposite factions, they should write a way for them to get to share. I think Night elves and Nightboren could actually be a peaceful willing share - given their history, connection and everything that’s happened - maybe the model example that not every race in the horde and alliance hates and fights each other.
If the broken isles was home to NIght elf and Nightborne (capital city Suramar), Highmountain (capital Highmountain) and Night elf worgen (capital Shal’anar Shaladrassil in Val’Sharah) - and they all got on quite well despite having friends in the other faction that would be interesting.
Basically you save yourself building more cities as Suramar is already a masterpiece it’s there, it’s much easier to write how the night elves return to their ancient city and live with the Nightborne than it is to design a totally new city.
If you make the story good and exciting people will love it.
