So I noticed that the character models are W.o.D, now I have seen it done kind of before, has anyone ever considered remaking Cata and Mists in the WoTLK engine? I know it would be freaking take a lot of time to get right but is it do-able?

I think. I don't know, I have seen fans make marrowind in skyrim so is it doable, or is there some limitation that I cant see, i guess is what i'm asking.
aww, thats cleared out for me now. imho, its not doable, since 3.3.5 client is just too ****ing old. just look on that wod model patch -they arent working for 100% (i would say 30% at best) - u cannot change faces of new models (in fact all "new" models have the same face per race), half of hairstyles are bugged, only cuz of polygon limitations which wotlk client have. some zones, however can be added i believe (at least i've seen that on some private emu's). new classes can be added too, but it will be way too buggy ( just look at those numerous fun 3.3.5 servers out there with nagas/worgens/pandas and ****). wow client is just not "user friendly" to make such thingsQuote:

graphics from newer expansions looks so ****ing disgusting on 3.3.5 clientQuote:

uh, we are talking about adding and scripting CATA and MISTS raids in 3.3.5aQuote:

At some point it all breaks down into a set of instructions and about any modifications can be done, however it quickly turns into a massive and overwhelming project. There's also a decent amount of structural changes with the client after 3.3.5a so even with it theoretically being possible it would still realistically be impossible. Plus there aren't that many people who have the knowledge and experience to pull off something like that, at least without a lot of issues.
