What was I talking about? Oh right, I have here a beautiful gallery of screenshots of Stormwind Harbor, its boats, and a lighthouse that seems to be on the way out of the city. The Harbor will offer non-stop trips to the Borean Tundra in Northrend, as well as to Auberdine (the current boat in Menethil is being re-routed, and Menethil will now connect only to Theramore). This should make it much less painful for low-level Alliance characters to travel between the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor – "no more Wetlands Deathflop," as one Blizzard CM put it.
I really like the look of the the boats, too, with the big paddle wheel and the gryphon prow. It's always nice to see a little more steampunk in my WoW. Come on in and check out the beautiful scenery, and thanks to Kevin from WoW Macros for providing all these lovely screenshots.

What is this "razing" you speak of?

Since this is a recent topic and someone might actually see this..
The Horde have zep' ports close enough to both Orgrimmar and the Undercity that they don't need a new one. The alliance have no cross-map transport close to any major cities (only the Exodar and Darnassus but.. Come on..). That, I believe, is what this fixes.

Darnassus is where the people with bad computers go to queue up for arenas.
And the druids with good computers.

I usually work out of Ironforge, Stormwind is too big and spread out.

As an aside, is Stormwind going to be the Alliance jumping-off point for all expansions? It's already the most convenient capital to the Dark Portal, as well as (I think) the only city with trainers for all classes.
I'm sure Stormwind being close to the Blast Lands is just a geographical coincidence
And I believe that Stormwind doesn't have any Druid trainers. Only Darnassus has them.

The Park.

Andrew said...
Nope. The park has them, if I recall rightly.

There's a druid trainer in the Stormwind park.
It may be coincidental, but don't forget that if there's an Emerald Dream focused expansion, the portal nearest to an Alliance capital is the one in Darkshire. Only one zone away from Stormwind!

I think there might be a druid trainer in the Park. ;) The Park actually has three druid trainers (all on the platform in the center of the main ring), a priest trainer (also on the platform), a stable master (by the owl statue at the entrance), an herbalism trainer (in one of the shops), and a questgiver, who starts a chain to send you into Blackfathom Deeps.
The Park also contains some enigmas: an empty inn with a mailbox, several empty shops (including one with a layout I haven't seen anywhere else), and several people - human and night elf - walking around without much purpose.
While I'm at it, there is a Shaman trainer in Stormwind; she's in the Valley of Heroes, on one of the islands southwest of the statuary. Make a right just before you'd leave for Elwynn Forest, and head down to the water, to find her.
