Hello, dear Blizzard team,
I would like to bring your attention to an important matter regarding the current version of World of Warcraft: The War Within.
This wonderful game has existed for many years and has rightfully become legendary. However, it still lacks a dark mode — a feature that would allow players to change the background of interface elements to a darker theme. For example, the quest log window has a bright background, and the text on it is also light. The same applies to the large world map, which does not have a dark background option.
You may ask — why is this necessary? The reason is that some players have visual impairments not related to color blindness, but conditions such as cataracts or other eye diseases. For these players, it is significantly easier to perceive text and interface elements when they are displayed on a black or dark background.
I understand that the bright interface is part of the game’s visual style. But I am not asking to remove it. I am simply requesting the addition of an optional dark mode in the Accessibility settings — as an additional feature for visually impaired players.
Moreover, games like The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) have had this feature available by default for quite some time. I am confident that implementing this in WoW would not be technically difficult.
I would also like to request the ability to increase only the text size in the interface — particularly in the quest log. Yes, I am aware of the current UI scaling option, but that affects the entire interface. What is needed is a separate setting that allows players to enlarge just the text without changing the size of other UI elements.
All these changes would not affect gameplay in any way — neither directly nor indirectly. But they would greatly improve the experience for players with visual impairments, allowing us to fully enjoy the game we love.
I understand that there are third-party modifications available, but they do not solve everything. For example, they do not affect the map, and they do not provide a complete dark mode experience.
Thank you for your attention, patience, and understanding. I sincerely hope you will consider implementing these features — it would make World of Warcraft even more accessible and enjoyable for many players like myself.
