- The goal is careful balance between nostalgia and modern fidelity, keeping familiar landmarks while upgrading visuals dna scale.
- They want players to instantly recognize Northrend, but also clearly see that a lot of time has passed in the world since Wrath of the Lich King.
- Blizzard is cautious about zone borders and transitions to avoid sharp visual jumps between modern and 20-year-old content.
- Silvermoon and Ghostlands were redesigned first because they are self-contained zones, making a full overhaul safer and cleaner.
