Item removal from Lordaeron's marketplace and difficulty reduction
Greetings Warmane community,
After much consideration and thorough thought, we are excited to announce a major change to Lordaeron. Mainly, we will be addressing the current state of the marketplace on Lordaeron. In order to maintain realm's intended unique design and to differentiate from Icecrown more, we will be removing all gear from the marketplace and reducing the difficulty of past, already bested, raid content.
We are doing this for a number of reasons among which is the fact that the actual marketplace, either due to high costs or disinterest of players, never actually sustained the realm in addition to make it more appealing to hardcore players, the current Lordaeron's audience, that simply dislike the concept of items being obtainable by coins , hence the removal of it all together.
As per removal of items from the marketplace, character trading and cosmetic items' costs and limitations are expected to be lightened on the realm. The selection of the cosmetic items is also expected to increase as we hope and expect it will at least cover the basic costs of sustaining the realm.
The changes that will be in effect on October 15, 2016 are the following:
- Removing all items from marketplace (except cosmetics)
- Reduce difficulty of raids while keeping it more challenging than Icecrown (except current top tier content).
We feel that the changes will result in a much healthier Lordaeron, driven to perfection and forged to greatness by the community that inhabits it.
Kind regards
Warmane
