Hi, my name is Dz The Rage.
Lets get started!
I will be listing each aspect of a server I can think of and give my suggestions about it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Mall
Alot of players have WoWLK, why would they wana hang out in Shatt, alot of them haven't even been to parts of WoWLK and would love to experience it! I call this the "awesome mall". I'm sure your'e wondering "wtf is an awesome mall?" It's an AIRSHIP! It has a ton of space, more than enough! Since there is a airship for each faction, we can have 2 diffrent malls, one for horde, and one for alliance. I think having each mall around Howling Fjord would be cool, since it a scenic area, you can have one by Gjalerbron and Utgarde Keep, two very scenic areas.
Storm Peaks is also a very cool area, you could have one in each zone or both in one zone, I highly suggest you keep it in Northrend though. Now, lets Jazz up are awesome airship! Add lights, custom, colorful, and exotic npcs! Add flags for each respective faction, do not leave the place blank looking, make the mall a place players wana hang out at! Please do not crowd vendors! Space them out but remeber to keep the gear vendors on top level of airship! Proffession vendors should be below deck, add Battle Ground masters on top deck too, put them in a focus point that represents their faction well. You can also use a place called Grizzlemaw in Grizzly Hills, it has 3 diffrent levels and has a very cool look to it.
Alliance Ship = 192242
Horde Ship = 192241
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)Events
Obstacle Courses - 4 diffrent challenge modes! Easy, Medium, Hard, EPIC. A diffrent course for each respective challenge mode. For each course add a new item, don't make players upgrade gear like say you give tabard on easy, and tabard on medium, and hard, and EPIC, people will go straight to EPIC, not even going on the other obstalce courses. Give like a shirt, tabard, ring, and trinket for each course. So they don't skip any obstacle courses.
Mazes - Naturally you need to make a long maze, with twists and dead ends. When I say twists, I mean like falling off the side of a cliff because there's a large fire in front of you and its nearly impossible to see through it and you run right off the cliff. Add an new piece into the item cycle that I explained in Obstacle course section, like a necklace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)PvP Zone
I had a cool idea, not Azshara Crater becasue but I will admit, I am a lazy, and would not like to run all the way to the alliance base, like many other players. I had a grand idea about making a mini AB style (without the resources) flag cap fast-pace area. I already know a great spot. It's in Azshara, inside a small mountain, makes a great area for fast paced games.
Coords - It's inside the mountain close to Foloron Ridge.
X: 2905 Y: -4766 Z:245 - I used this area on retail for guild events.
Make custom towers where players can attack from above and have the flag at the top, where the enemy must cap the flag, 30 seconds to cap it. And there should be 3 towers for each faction. Each tower should have 2 levels, like go up a flight of stairs than another to get to the top, each level can be a stand off between defenders and attackers. In the middle could be a tower, with no flag, just for advantage point, or a battle line littered with catapults and cannons and some small buildings for people to hide behind.
This would be in addition to the regular BG's and Gurubashi Arena.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Custom Instance
I personally enjoy scripted and 5 - 10 man custom instances that really take 5 people, and not like 2, lol. A custom instance should be in a cool area, it can be outside, or inside an instance, usually inside is better so people dont use 10 people to kill a boss, or fight over a boss. Remeber trash mobs should be added for extra difficultity. Remeber to have the bosses scripted, don't make the instance dull, make it fun and exciting to do!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5)NPCS / Customs
Need more colorful and exotic looking npcs!
Don't use the same NPCS for something, mix it up, make sure people can tell the diffrence between a weapon and enchanting vendor. Add custom objects, like a portal to custom instance, PvP zone, i've seen some very cool objects used as portals, like floating and turning blue shields, that are eye watching and cool. Find the right object for it's purpose, don't be bland!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6)Teleporter Stone
I like the teleporter stone, I think that it should have an announcement only the player can see saying, Welcome to MercWoW! or something similar. The teleporter stone helps players not have to ever hearth to get back to mall than get to the teleporter! Also adding a JukeBox to a teleporter stone so they can listen to a song like Power of the Horde is also a good idea.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7)On death
I think making a script so that players rez in 10 seconds and than have the spell banish cast on them as a buff for safety, would be great! So you don't have to make custom Graveyards in custom areas, and for the convience of players. This will take alot of scripting to accomplish, but I think it's worth it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The End!
